We're eagerly awaiting delivery of our '04 Freightliner Sprinter. Freightliner has been selling them for a couple years.
We ordered the 118" WB low-roof (still taller than an Econoline!)passenger van. The pass. vans are in very short supply so they had to order it from the factory.
A Sprinter engineer from Dodge gave a good presentation at the SAE truck & bus expo in November. The North American 2004 model gets quite a few changes, mainly to the engine. New cylinder head, new injectors, injection pressures up from ~20k psi to ~23k, new EGR valve (now water-cooled), new EGR valve actuator, etc. I believe the EGR valve has been one of the problem areas; I hope the changes make it more reliable.
