Overview

In the world of Cargo Vans, the 2019 RAM Promaster Cargo Van is a well-known name. Belonging to the fullsize van segment, the RAM Promaster competes with the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Cargo Van, the Chevrolet Express 2500 Cargo Van, and the GMC Savana 2500 Cargo Van. The base trim starts at around MSRP $30,195. With 3 trims on offer, prices reach around $39,645. Traditionally offered bareboned, Cargo Vans can be equipped to fill the need of the buyer. The RAM Promaster too can be equipped with packages such as Side Wall Paneling Upper & Lower, RAM Telematics, or High Roof options. Delivering a combined MPG of 21, the 3.6-liter V6 on offer here feels potent enough. It is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission and makes 280 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque.

Buying Advice

With 3 trims and multiple configurations, we recommend the mid-tier trim with the roof height that suits your needs. The recommended 2500 trim gets a heavy duty suspension for better payload capacity and can also be opted in a longer wheelbase avatar.
