Weight of Van and Fuel Economy
The weight of a van impacts its fuel economy. We designed our van with weight in mind, to enable users to average the 25-30 MPG estimate other Sprinter users say is possible with the Sprinter Cargo van.
A Sprinter 170 Cargo van has a Curb Weight (empty) of 5710 pounds. Our VVV conversion adds 2000 pounds. Adding an 25 gallons of gas, and 25 gallons of water equal an additional 400 pounds. The total payload for the Sprinter 170 is 9050.

This leaves 1000 pounds for the weight of 4 people, plus food and luggage.
As comparison, many other van companies will not disclose the weight of their vans, which unfortunately often hit the payload before adding people, food, and luggage. The Verde Voyager Van is built with 80/20 aluminum/steel beams, which combine the lightest, the strongest, and the most secure connection to the steel reinforcing supports in the van.
