2022 Mercedes Sprinter 1500

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 Sprinter 1500.

The 2022 Mercedes Sprinter 1500 arrives midway through a complaint-tracking window spanning 2015 to 2024, a period whose peaks and valleys are defined by 2019's eight reported issues and 2016's single complaint. With the model's reliability record bracketed by those extremes, the 2022 edition sits in a sequence where annual volumes have historically remained low, suggesting a platform that has not generated widespread recurring concerns across its recent lifecycle.
