RAM PROMASTER® CARGO VAN.
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE UPFIT.
We think of the 2016 Ram ProMaster Cargo Van as a blank canvas for
your business. With a myriad of upts and options, where you take it
is entirely up to you. You’ll sense that this vehicle was built with upts
in mind immediately: the short dash-to-front-axle lengths maximize
interior volume. e side walls are practically 90 degrees when it comes
to wall-to-oor angles. Huge side doors (most of them 49.2 inches), with
rear doors that open to 61.5 inches wide and up to 70.5 inches high, mean
that you’ve got access to your upts...or room to load a packed pallet.
It’s the kind of smart design you’ll nd across the entire RamProMaster
lineup: 1500, 2500 and 3500. Overall length? Choose from three
wheelbases and four workable lengths that max out in the extended
version for a 160.2-inch cargo oor length. Height? You’ve got two
choices: the standard 65-inch or the available High Roof with 76-inch
oor-to-ceiling convenience. All Cargo Van models feature the lowest
load oor height in its entire class
honors don’t stop there. Best-in-class
Cargo Van also include the most cargo width between the wheel wells
and the turning diameter (on 118-in wheelbase models). In short, you’ve
got eye-opening levels of handling and maneuverability in small spaces.
is is how it all comes together: utilize commercial-grade chassis and
suspensions. Incorporate exceptional brakes. Employ powertrains that
deliver truly breathtaking stats. You’ll nd details on the specs page,
but you should know this one right up front: a Ram ProMaster powered
by the 3.6-liter Pentastar
transmission delivers best-in-class

BEST-IN-CLASS
LOAD FLOOR HEIGHT raises
the bar—demonstrating how
the Ram ProMaster® frontwheel-drive engineering pays
o in a big way. By eliminating
the engine-to-rear-end transaxle,
there’s no raised f loor to
accommodate the “hump”
characteristic of rear-wheeldrive vehicles. Loading is
easy from the get-go, and
the worker-friendly step-in
height dispenses with an
intermediate step or ladder.

4,420 LB.
IF YOU’RE OUT TO BE THE BEST, YOU’D BETTER BE READY TO CARRY
THE BIG LOADS. WE ARE. Ram ProMaster® Cargo Van payload comes
in at 4,420 lb, and ready to work. Of course, the capability means
nothing without the space to put it into practice. When it comes to
ratings, ProMaster takes its cubic feet as seriously as its pounds. These
cubic-foot figures adhere to the strict SAE J1100 requirements—and
show volume measured from interior wheel-well width. The upshot:
when you install shelving that extends from wall to wheel-well lip, those
generous cubic-foot volumes at the left stay virtually the same.
Naturally, there’s more. To aid in durability, a long-lasting factoryinstalled Spray-On Floor Liner option from Mopar® helps protect the
load floor from all the action headed its way. Trailering? On Cargo
and Windowed Van, opt for the available Trailer Tow Group where all
models employ a standard 2-inch ClassIV hitch receiver that’s bolted
directly to the frame, delivering towing that maxes out at 5,100lb when
properly equipped. The Trailer Tow Group also includes standard 4and 7-pin wiring harness plug-ins. Also available is the indispensable

born to back up to trailers and loading docks.
