Does Dodge still make Sprinter vans?

The short answer is no. Dodge no longer produces Sprinter vans; the Sprinter nameplate is now associated with Mercedes-Benz, while the Dodge/Chrysler van lineup in the United States is represented by the Ram ProMaster rather than a Sprinter badge.


Historical context and current status


To understand the evolution, it helps to look at how the Sprinter brand moved from Dodge to Mercedes-Benz, and how Ram ProMaster filled the Vans role in the U.S. market.


The following timeline highlights the major milestones in the Dodge Sprinter story.



  • 2003: Dodge Sprinter debuts in North America as a badge-engineered version of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.

  • 2009–2010: Chrysler Group restructures; the Dodge Sprinter badge is dropped in the U.S.; Mercedes-Benz continues to sell the Sprinter under its own name.

  • 2013–2014: Ram launches the ProMaster in North America, based on the Fiat Ducato design, becoming the modern Dodge/Chrysler van option.

  • Today: Dodge does not offer Sprinter vans; Mercedes-Benz Sprinter remains the Sprinter product in many markets, while Ram ProMaster serves as the Dodge/Chrysler alternative in the U.S. market.


The milestones show a shift away from the Dodge Sprinter badge toward Mercedes-Benz’s Sprinter and Ram’s ProMaster lineup in North America.


Current options for van buyers


Here’s a quick look at how the market stands today for buyers who once looked for a Dodge Sprinter or a Sprinter badge.


The following two options are the primary, currently available choices in the U.S. and many other markets:



  • Mercedes-Benz Sprinter — sold through Mercedes-Benz dealers; available in cargo, crew, and passenger configurations with various drivetrain options, including 4x4 variants in some regions.

  • Ram ProMaster — sold through Ram dealers; based on the Fiat Ducato design; front-wheel drive layout with multiple body lengths and roof heights, commonly used for commercial conversions.


Bottom line: if you want a Sprinter badge, you’d look to Mercedes-Benz; if you want a van under the Dodge/Chrysler umbrella today, the option is Ram ProMaster, not a Sprinter.


Clarifying notes


For context, Dodge as a standalone brand no longer offers Sprinter vans. The Sprinter continues as a Mercedes-Benz product, while the North American market’s van needs are served by Ram ProMaster. This reflects broader brand realignments within the former DaimlerChrysler portfolio and the ongoing separation of Mercedes-Benz and Ram/Chrysler product lines.


Summary


No, Dodge does not currently make Sprinter vans. The Sprinter line lives on under Mercedes-Benz, and the Dodge/Chrysler van channel in the U.S. is now represented by the Ram ProMaster. If you’re shopping today, you’ll choose between a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter or a Ram ProMaster depending on brand preference, dealer network, and intended use.
