Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2020 Sprinter 1500.
The 2020 Mercedes Sprinter 1500 is the model-year entry within a complaint window that runs from 2015 through 2024, a span in which reported complaints hit a low of one in 2016 and a high of eight in 2019. With neither the peak nor the trough, the 2020 edition lands in the middle of that range. That positioning frames it as a representative year for the model’s recent reliability history rather than a clear outlier.
