How the Sprinter 3500 Differs From the Sprinter 2500
The Sprinter 3500 Cargo 170 WB High Roof carries a higher gross vehicle weight rating than the Sprinter 2500 at the same 170-inch wheelbase. That higher rating places the Sprinter 3500 in the Class 3 commercial van category. Both vans use the same cargo body dimensions, so the step up from the 2500 to the 3500 adds rated weight rather than floor space. Businesses that carry heavy tools, dense inventory, liquids, or a permanent upfit reach the Sprinter 2500 weight ceiling before they run out of cargo floor.
Mercedes-Benz of Caldwell can confirm the gross vehicle weight rating and payload figures on any Sprinter 3500 unit in stock. Call (973) 227-3600 to review the weight ratings against a planned upfit before ordering.
Cargo Space and Upfit Capability
The 170-inch wheelbase gives the Sprinter 3500 Cargo Van an extended cargo floor behind the front seats, and the High Roof raises interior clearance to standing height for most technicians. The High Roof cargo area of the Sprinter 3500 Cargo 170 WB lets a technician stand upright while pulling parts from a shelf. The 170-inch wheelbase of the Sprinter 3500 Cargo Van accepts long material loaded straight in without diagonal stacking.
The Sprinter 3500 Cargo 170 WB High Roof supports commercial upfitting, including shelving systems, partitions, interior lighting, ladder racks, and refrigeration. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC contractors, mobile service operators, and delivery fleets across Essex County upfit the Sprinter 3500 Cargo 170 WB High Roof for trade and delivery work.
Powertrain and Driving Setup
The 2026 Sprinter 3500 Cargo 170 WB High Roof is powered by a 2.0L four-cylinder turbocharged engine that drives the rear wheels. Rear-wheel drive places the cargo load over the driven axle, which supports traction under load on the Route 46 and Interstate 80 corridors that Northern New Jersey fleets run daily.
Safety and Technology
The Sprinter 3500 Cargo 170 WB High Roof includes Active Brake Assist, which can detect vehicles and pedestrians ahead and initiate emergency braking. Crosswind Assist helps stabilize the van during strong side gusts, which matters for a High Roof body with a large side profile on open highway stretches. Blind Spot Assist monitors adjacent lanes and alerts the driver to vehicles alongside the van, supporting safer lane changes on multi-stop delivery routes.
MBUX infotainment with voice control handles navigation, phone, and audio through spoken commands, so drivers working a route can keep their hands on the wheel between stops.
