Daimler – other models: the collective page of vans and light commercial vehicles outside named ranges, from the Mercedes-Benz Vito and Sprinter to the Dodge Ram of the DaimlerChrysler era, 2.1 to 5.9 litres
This page gathers vans and light commercial vehicles that the register carries under the group name Daimler but could not assign to a narrower individual range – and it shows how many different companies have carried the name Daimler. The span reaches from the Mercedes-Benz Vito ranges W638, 639 and 447 through the current Sprinter of the 907 range and the Dodge Ram from the merger era of Daimler-Benz and Chrysler into DaimlerChrysler (1998 to 2007) to the Dingo, the light reconnaissance vehicle of the British Daimler Company, which despite shared roots in Gottlieb Daimler was an independent company and built this scout car during the Second World War for the British Army. On the Vito and Sprinter, the CDI figure follows the Mercedes scheme and gives the engine power in hp divided by ten; on the Dodge Ram, the numbers 1500 and 3500 stand for the American payload classes of half-ton and one-ton.

The register lists here 12 versions with four- to eight-cylinders of 2,143 to 5,898 cm³, unladen weights from 1,482 to 3,160 kg, gross weights from 2,085 to 3,500 kg and widths from 1,580 to 2,390 mm.
The grouping under the name Daimler shows how varied a corporate history can be behind a single brand name: European vans for trades and businesses alongside North American pick-ups from the DaimlerChrysler era.
On the Mercedes vans, rust on the load floor and sills and the condition of the turbocharger and dual-mass flywheel count; on the Dodge Ram, frame corrosion, axles and the condition of the large-displacement V8; parts for the Mercedes models run through the Mercedes-Benz Vans network, for the Ram through specialist importers of American cars.
