When it comes to finding the right full-size van for your business needs, a few models dominate the road. Two of them appear in this 2019 Ram ProMaster vs 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter comparison. Each of these models can impress shoppers and drivers, but which one offers the best value?
The 2019 Ram ProMaster Cargo Van comes out of the gate with a lower starting Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price. It also offers standard front-wheel drive, which can give drivers more control during the icy Minnesota winters. The 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter comes standard with rear-wheel drive and is available with all-wheel drive. However, upgrading to that drive system will cost shoppers several thousand dollars on the already higher price point. Additionally, the 2019 Ram ProMaster is available with three different wheel bases while the 2019 Sprinter is available with just two.
