Wikipedia is your friend: The Volkswagen Crafter, introduced in 2006 and built by Daimler AG,is the largest 3 to 5 tonne van sold by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. It is the third generation of the Volkswagen LT truck, which has been in production since 1975. Starting with its second generation, the LT/Crafter is a rebadged Mercedes Sprinter with a VW powertrain. Also sold by Daimler as the Mercedes Sprinter, and formerly as the Freightliner Sprinter and Dodge Sprinter, the Crafter officially replaced the 31 year old LT nameplate, although it is known as the LT3 as its production plant code. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jonce Fancher" <streetbugs@FRONTIER.COM> To: <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2013 3:53 AM Subject: Re: FS: VW Crafter - 2012
