What Makes the Sprinter 4500 the Best Chassis Cab Around?

For a lot of companies, a few standard light-duty trucks are all that's needed for their fleet, while in others, a few cargo vans might be able to get the job done. But if you have a business that requires some serious capability and customization in a truck or van, then what you're looking for is a powerful chassis cab that you can build upon. Whether you're already interested in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 4500 for sale or you're still exploring all of your options, one good look at the Sprinter 4500 Cab Chassis is all it takes to see why it's better than pretty much every other option. Let's check out what this impressive platform brings to the road and see what it can do for you and your business.

Two Wheelbase Options to Choose From

One of the things we feel is most important for the success of a business is having options-not only options you can provide to your customers, but options you can choose from when it comes to what you need. This makes it easier for you to get something that's perfect for your business rather than trying to make something that only sort of works fit into place. This is especially true when it comes to customizing the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 4500 Cab Chassis (as we'll see in a few moments), but it starts with the model you pick.

Not only do you have a number of different chassis cab models available with the Sprinter 3500XD and the Sprinter 4500, but you even have different Sprinter 4500 Cab Chassis models to pick from. The standard version has a 144-inch wheelbase and measures 246 inches in total length, 96 inches in width, and 94 inches in height. If you're looking for something longer, then there's a version with a 170-inch wheelbase, which is 273 inches long in total, with the same width and height. Both models have 7,500 lbs of maximum towing capacity, although the shorter wheelbase model has about 90 lbs more payload capacity.

Robust Power and Drivability

While having plenty of options is great, sometimes it can also work against you. For example, if a commercial vehicle has numerous engines and options to choose from, then you can end up in a situation where there's a distinctly better option that you'll likely have to pay more for. Mercedes-Benz skips that sort of "illusion of choice" situation and gives you one powerful engine to utilize with no games. It's a 2.0L four-cylinder High Output diesel engine that delivers 211 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque. This is paired with a 9G-TRONIC nine-speed automatic transmission for a smooth experience your driver is sure to appreciate. Rear-wheel drive is standard on the Sprinter 4500, but all-wheel drive is available if you opt for the Sprinter 3500XD. No matter what you choose, the Sprinter 4500 Cab Chassis performs well and has the muscle to handle anything you throw at it.

Advanced Connectivity to Support Your Business

Regardless of what kind of business you have, it's important that you're putting technology to work for you to boost efficiency and make things easier. This is something Mercedes-Benz clearly understands since the Sprinter 4500 Cab Chassis has an impressive suite of tech features for connectivity to help you get your job done. A seven-inch display for the multimedia system is standard, though a 10.25-inch screen is available if you want to make things easier to use. This is great for ensuring your drivers can keep an eye on navigation and other information, but the connectivity features go well beyond that.

Utilizing the Mercedes me connect App, you have a wide range of features designed to make life easier for you. There are simple systems like the ability to find your vehicle on a map, remotely lock and unlock the doors of your vehicle as needed, and keep an eye on the maintenance schedule for each vehicle in your fleet. For commercial use, the app includes a number of other features, including the ability to set up an administrator and multiple driver accounts, which can be tied to different vehicles and control what each person can do. You can keep an eye on your vehicles using this software, look for ways to boost efficiency, and even do things like send navigation information to a vehicle or check fuel levels and tire pressure for a Sprinter 4500 in your fleet while it's on the road.

A Wide Range of Upfit Options

We mentioned customization early on when talking about the different wheelbases available, but it goes far beyond that with the Sprinter 4500 Cab Chassis. The whole point of choosing a chassis cab model like this is the freedom it gives you to build a truck or van that perfectly meets your needs. With the Mercedes-Benz eXpertSOLUTIONS program for upfitting, you have reputable vendors and companies available to you when looking for the perfect upfit body for your vehicle. These can be chosen when you order a Sprinter 4500 Cab Chassis for your business or after the fact if you need new options or want to change something up.

For example, looking at upfit options for the Sprinter 4500 Cab Chassis, you will see dozens of different body setups and choices available to your business. You might go with a Low Roof or High Roof Cut-Away Enclosed Service Body, which includes a painted interior and numerous compartments inside for storage options. An Open Service Body gives you multiple storage compartments along with an open bed for larger items, while a Platform Body creates opportunities for hauling anything you need. Whether you're looking for a Dump Body for your Sprinter 4500, a Landscaper Body with racks for various items, or something else, there's a solution out there that will meet your needs.

Enhanced Safety and Cost Efficiency

Although Mercedes-Benz offers a lot of options for the Sprinter 4500 Cab Chassis, at the end of the day, the most important thing is knowing you have a truck you can count on. Advanced safety features help ensure your driver can get where they need to be in one piece, like optional Active Brake Assist that warns your driver about a potential collision and helps boost braking power. Other options include Attention Assist, which can monitor your drivers for signs of fatigue and warn them when it's time for a break, and Traffic Sign Assist, which helps your drivers spot changes in speed limits and other signs that can be easy to miss.

Advanced safety features help your drivers get to their destination in one piece and can also help you avoid the expense of a ticket or a serious collision involving a company vehicle. Mercedes-Benz also helps you keep costs down by making one of the most reliable and dependable chassis cabs on the road. The Sprinter 4500 has a service interval of 20,000 miles, ensuring your truck spends more time on the road and less time having maintenance done. Plus, you can get an extended limited warranty with five years or 100,000 miles of coverage for mechanical and electrical systems for this vehicle, protecting you against unexpected repair costs.
