In the final analysis, here’s why this van stands out—and frequently stands above: three distinctive models. Three wheelbase lengths. Two roof heights. Four body lengths that include extended body versions. Best of all, the Mopar

Obviously, a van of this quality and size makes the ideal delivery vehicle. Fortunately, Ram ProMaster Designed for low costs of ownership and operation, take the necessity of oil changes as one built-in advantage: Ram ProMaster can run up to 10,000 miles between oil changes, giving you the very real possibility of as few as ten changes over 100,000 miles of operation; it’s engineering that delivers measurable savings. Expanding or trading in? Resale value is notable. Keeping it for the long term? Count on a 10-Year Corrosion Protection Warranty. Pinpointing trailer hitches and loading docks? The indispensable ParkView confidence and reliability, in the form of a 5-Year/60,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty.

IF YOU’VE GOT A DESTINATION IN MIND, YOUR FIRST MOVE IS TO THE HEAD OF THE CLASS. This Cargo Van stands out

by delivering top-tier commercial capability—and it’s all by the numbers. Namely, first-place. Whether you’re utilizing this capacious space for deliveries or a mobile workshop, the best-in-class

The available High Roof lets tall workers up to 6'3" stand without stooping. And thanks to two more class-ruling features—best-in-class maximum cargo width and best-in-class lip, creating a wider aisleway when equipped with that custom shelving. (We invite you to compare; we rigorously adhere to SAE J1100 protocols that compel manufacturers to measure volume and width with rigid restrictions; the results are realistic numbers that max out at 462.8 cubic feet of totally usable volume.) Now take that vast interior space, and consider the upfit-inviting treatments both inside and out: nearly vertical side walls, flat and low load floor (with an equally practical super-low step-in height) and the available assets of the High Roof and the extended body version. Access all of this through side-sliding and rear cargo doors designed for success; they’re all large enough to accommodate a standard pallet.

options—many of which will come directly from Mopar

What makes Ram ProMaster Cargo Van the prime candidate for an upfit? Multiple reasons. Dash-to-front-axle lengths are kept short to maximize interior volume. Side walls flirt with a practical 90 degrees, enabling easy installation of shelving. 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.

BEST-IN-CLASS ASSETS ABOUND. Roof height depends on model: for Cargo Van, the Standard Roof delivers a best-in-class

standard cargo height of 65.4 inches; the available High Roof measures up: it’s a very convenient 76 inches high. Cargo Van also

features the lowest load floor height in the class

intermediate step. Further assets: best-in-class

on 118-inch wheelbase models, it’s a street-friendly 36.3 feet. Maneuverability and handling are exemplary. Front-wheel drive lowers

the platform and dispenses with the characteristic “hump” typical of rear-wheel-drive vehicles.

PARTITIONS OPEN UP MORE POSSIBILITY. The standard layout gives you unimpeded access to the rear cargo area from the front. When greater privacy or security is needed, we’ve engineered two solutions: the solid partition and the partition with sliding window are constructed of steel, and both fit flush with the surrounding 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 functionality.

STRENGTHS YOU’LL BUILD ON.

WE’LL GIVE YOU A TOUGH-AS-NAILS FOUNDATION. NOW THE GOOD PART IS UP TO YOU. The wind-tunnel-tested aerodynamic cab is sculpted art, and the chassis that supports it is industrial-grade from the get-go. With the recent addition of a wider and beefier rear axle, Ram ProMaster Chassis Cab/Cutaway models offer a robust GCWR, upfit-ready architecture and remarkable capability.

Here’s what supports upfits and businesses alike: the super-low frame height of only 24.4 inches from the ground enables easy access without a step, reduces the ramp angle to a minimum (to facilitate attachments) and creates nearly unlimited upfit potential. These 3500 weight class workhorses come in 136- and 159-inch wheelbases; maximum overall length of 244.4 inches. GVWR is rated at 9,350 lb; towing is rated up to 5,100 lb.*

Payload varies by wheelbase, but maxes out at a no-nonsense 5,240 lb. Standard suspension—specifically designed for these trucks—is a premium heavy-duty design with a MacPherson strut front unit and rear heavy-duty stabilizer bar. In the final analysis, whether you’re building a custom camper or resilient service body, it works. From vocation to vacation, Ram ProMaster is ready to take it on.
