2025 Sprinter Cargo 3500 (DRW) Detailed Description
A heavy-duty commercial van built for maximum payload, stability, and driver comfort.

Core Vehicle Overview
The 2025 Sprinter 3500 is the most robust cargo focused variant in the Sprinter lineup. It uses a 2.0liter high output turbodiesel 4cylinder producing 208 hp and strong low-end torque, paired with a 9speed automatic transmission. Key characteristics include:

Dual Rear Wheels (DRW) for increased payload, stability, and towing

High Output Diesel Engine (standard on 3500 DRW)

Rear Wheel Drive

Heavy-duty suspension and frame

GVWR around 9,050 lbs (varies slightly by wheelbase)

This configuration is ideal for upfitters, RV conversions, contractors, and anyone needing maximum carrying capacity.

Dual Rear Wheels (DRW)
The DRW setup on the 3500 provides:

Increased payload capacity and rear axle stability

Better lateral control in crosswinds

Improved towing confidence

Wider rear track for stability under heavy loads

This is the go to choice for box builds, heavy shelving, or tall conversions.

Raised Body Mounts
While not a factory package, raised body mounts are commonly used by upfitters or specialty builders. They typically provide:

Additional ground clearance

More space for underbody equipment (tanks, batteries, plumbing, HVAC)

A more level stance when carrying heavy loads

Better approach/departure angles for rough job sites

This is especially useful for RV builds or off road leaning commercial applications.

Driver Convenience Package
While exact 2025 package contents vary by dealer, the Driver Convenience Package typically includes features designed to reduce fatigue and improve usability. Based on current Sprinter package structures, it often includes:

Blind Spot Assist

Cruise Control

Multifunction Steering Wheel

Heated, power adjustable mirrors

Enhanced instrument cluster

Additional storage and comfort touches

These features make long days behind the wheel noticeably easier.
