Overview

In the world of cargo vans, the 2014 RAM C/V Tradesman is a well-known name. Belonging to the compact van segment, the RAM C/V Tradesman competes with the Ford Transit Connect, and Nissan NV200. The base trim starts at around an MSRP of $21,360. Traditionally offered bareboned, cargo vans can be equipped to fill the need of the buyer. The RAM C/V Tradesman too can be equipped with packages such as Smoker's Group, Trailer Tow Group, or Power window group. Delivering a combined MPG of 21, the 3.6L V6 engine on offer here feels potent enough. It is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission and makes 283 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque.

Buying Advice

As there is a single trim to choose from, we recommend the optional features like an eight-way power driver seat, rearview camera, engine block heater, navigation system, auto-dimming, a rearview mirror to make your Tradesman more convenient.
