Making Use of Your Sprinter Van Towing Capacity

Before you head out on the roads of Scottsdale or Mesa with a trailer in your rearview, make sure you’ve familiarized yourself with all of the relevant information. Here’s what you’ll need to get started:

• Gross Combined Weight Rating: When you’re towing heavy cargo, you need to make sure that the total combined weight of your vehicle, cargo, and trailer–taken together–does not exceed your Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR). Since this can vary from model to model, you should carefully review the specs for your vehicle before hooking up a trailer.
• Payload Capacity: Likewise, payload capacity will vary from trim to trim, and from van to van. While models like the Sprinter Cab Chassis 4500 can handle a payload of up to 7,429 pounds, a Sprinter Crew Van with a diesel engine can only handle a payload of roughly 3,770 pounds. Opting for a different wheelbase or roof height will impact your payload rating, but it will most likely not impact your towing capacity.
• Gross Vehicle Weight Rating: The total combined weight of your vehicle and your cargo should never exceed your Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). Once more, this will vary from trim to trim.
• Review Your Owner’s Manual: Before you hook up a trailer, you should review all relevant towing information in your owner’s manual and familiarize yourself with your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter tow bar. If you have not yet equipped your vehicle with a trailer hitch, you can order one through our parts department. Just make sure it’s classed appropriately

Towing can be especially hard on your vehicle, so make sure that you’re keeping up with the recommended Sprinter Van maintenance schedule.
