BEST-IN-CLASS WHERE IT COUNTS THE MOST. Ram ProMaster® Cargo Van stands out by delivering the

top-tier capability demanded by a wide variety

space for deliveries or a mobile workshop, the best-in-class

Opt for the available High Roof, and tall workers up to 6'3" can easily stand without stooping.

No matter what your business is, this space serves all equally. It’s because we rigorously adhere to SAE J1100 protocols that compel manufacturers to measure volume and width from each wheel well inside the cargo area. This mandate is win-win all around, thanks to two more ruling features—best-in-class

the wheel wells. Custom shelving can extend from inside wall to wheel-well lip; those generous cubic-foot volumes stay virtually

the same.

Hauling capability and towing excellence derive from outstanding powertrains. The 3.6L Pentastar

standard V6 horsepower—exactly what’s needed for confident acceleration and hauling. No matter which powertrain you

choose, road manners and maneuvering—especially in smaller spaces in cities and suburbs—are assured. In fact, the 118-inch wheelbase Ram ProMaster models all give you a very street-friendly best-in-class

of commercial segments. Whether you’re using this capacious

maximum cargo width and best-in-class1 cargo width between

standard cargo height assures total convenience.

THE CAVERNOUS INTERIOR OF CARGO VAN reflects an intelligently designed space you’ll make better through a wide variety of upfits and options.

Why does Ram ProMaster a practical 90 degrees, enabling easy shelf installation. Side doors (up to 49.2 inches wide) and rear doors (61.5 inches wide; up to 70.5 inches high; and opening to 260 degrees) are huge; both accommodate standard-size pallets. Three wheelbases and four workable lengths (that max out with the extended version reaching 250.5 inches) supply abundant space and a work-ready floor length. Finally, factor in two roof heights, depending on model: the Standard Roof with a

65.4-inch interior height, or the available High Roof, offering 76-inch floor-to-ceiling convenience, and which is standard on all ProMaster Windowed Van models.

BEST-IN-CLASS ASSETS ABOUND. Van models feature the lowest load floor height in the class

best-in-class

friendly 36.3 feet. Maneuverability and handling are exemplary. Front-wheel-drive engineering pays off by lowering the platform and eliminating

the characteristic “hump” so typical of rear-wheel-drive vehicles. Loading is easy from the get-go, and the worker-friendly low step-in height

dispenses with the need for an intermediate step.

AN OPEN-AND-SHUT CASE FOR PARTITIONS. This comprehensive urban package offers surprisingly large options, starting with available partitions

for the interior of Cargo Van. The standard layout gives you unimpeded access to the rear from the front compartment. For the many business and industrial purposes where greater privacy or security is needed, we’ve engineered two solutions. Both the solid partition and the partition with sliding window are constructed of steel, and both fit flush with the flat floor, the side panel and the roof interfaces. The rear-facing side is painted White, while the cab side of the wall is covered with sound-deadening material to provide a comfortable front cabin. It’s a working combination of aesthetics and functional purpose.

Cargo Van work so well? Multiple reasons. Dash-to-front-axle lengths are kept short to maximize interior volume. Side walls flirt with

cargo width between the wheel wells and a best-in-class1 turning diameter: on 118-inch wheelbase models, it’s a street-
