2007 Dodge Sprinter 2500

This is Dodge's rebadged Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, the tall, boxy van that dominated the full-size cargo and passenger market long before the current wave of vans. It drives like the commercial vehicle it is, with a tall seating position, a tight turning circle, and a ride that's more about stability than comfort. The cabin is utilitarian and built for work, with hard plastics, a high roof, and a vast cargo area that swallows whatever you throw in. Its real strength is practicality, with a huge payload, sliding side doors, and a rear door that opens wide for loading. The 2500 is the heavier-duty Sprinter, meaning a higher payload rating and a stronger rear axle than the base model, so it's the one to pick if you're hauling near the van's limit every day. Under the hood is a 3.5L V6 that makes enough torque to move a loaded van without complaint, and it's paired with a five-speed automatic that shifts smoothly for a commercial vehicle.
