Location: De Pere Wisconsin | Hi all, hoping someone will have some insight here as I am not real up to speed on technical engine things. Looking at a Dodge Sprinter van for business purposes and am impressed enough to wonder if I could use it as my primary vehicle also.
I am towing a Tuffy Esox mag, guessing it is around 2000 lbs boat motor trailer.
The Sprinter is rated to tow 5000 lbs - But not knowing how diesels figure with hp and torque I am a little confused by the numbers, have been told diesel's are about torque, not hp's....
sprinter specs
3.0 liter v6 diesel
154 hp @ 3400 rpms
280 ft-lbs of torque @ 1200-2400 rpm.
Put about 17000 miles a year on a vehicle, around 3000 towing.
Any knowledgable input would be appreciated , thanks! |
