I think you are in error. The "second generation" Dodge Sprinters (late
2006 and 2007 model years) sold in the US are being built here at the
original Freightliner plant and at new plant you referenced.

Prior to that, some underwent final assembly here as "Freightliners" but
most were assembled in Düsseldorf, which is the point of origin of ours
which, I think, is a 2005 model.

Do you know if Pleasure Way has started using the six cylinder Sprinters
yet?

I suspect they would have to be on the new Sprinters. The six replaced the
five cylinder that we have.

I also suspect the change was due to increased emission regulations. From
what I've read, the six has the same power output that the 5 had, so it
wasn't and issue of getting more horsepower.

I believe you can also get it in a gas version now as well, although I don't
know why anybody would want to.

Either do I. That Mercedes diesel is the big attraction, as far as I'm
concerned. I was surprised that the hp was the same, although the torque is
about 35 ft-lbs higher. I was just looking at Roadrek's SS Agile. Very cute
at only $85,000.

But back to the origional problem. And let me further qualify it by
submitting that there are probably no cars or trucks, that are main
stream and generally available and affordable by the general public
(not considered collector or luxury cars/trucks). Can he buy on that
is not filld with chineese parts if not assembled there and labeled
Siapan like my old CJ7... Which was apparently assembled in Siapan...

The 5-cyl is the same engine that powers my '83 300TD Benz station
wagon (estate for our friends in The Midlands).

Mine has 389,000 miles on it without an overhaul. Starts right up
on my homebrew diesel oil (1 quart mineral spirits + 20 gallons of
used french fry oil from a Chinese restaurant).....about 20 cents a
gallon.

That's pretty cool and encouraging. We only have about 4-5 k miles on it so
far.

I don't know how that little engine does what it does, but it is truly
remarkable.
I have no need for any more power than what it delivers.

Beautiful colour co-ordinated trailer behind the Sprinter. Does that carry
the horses or other toys?
