Overview

In the world cargo van market, the 2014 RAM Promaster Cargo Van is a popular name. Belonging to the fullsize cargo van segment, it competes with the Ford Transit Cargo Van, the Nissan NV Cargo Van, and the Mercedes Benz Sprinter Cargo Van. The base trim starts at around an MSRP of $28,630. With three trims on offer, prices reach around $36,150. Traditionally offered bareboned, cargo vans can be equipped to fill the need of the buyer. It can be equipped with packages such as the Driver Convenience package, Premium appearance group, or the Cargo convenience group. Delivering a combined MPG of 15, the standard engine on offer is a 3.6L V6 engine which feels robust enough for carrying loads and towing. It is further mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission and makes 280 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque.

Buying Advice

The mid-level 2500 trim comes in at just the right price. We also recommend the extended wheelbase, so that you can carry more loads than the standard model. Apart from the standard features, we also recommend the rear parking sensors, rearview camera, double passenger seat, steering-wheel-mounted controls, cruise control, interior wall paneling, and heated seats.
