Ram Promaster City
The Ram ProMaster City is a small commercial van available in cargo or passenger configurations. Its small size made it easy to maneuver and park, but it didn’t scrimp on capability—the cargo version could hold up to 131.7 cubic feet of whatever you needed to haul, or it could tow a small trailer. Alternatively, the five-passenger version worked well as a small family transport, though its basic equipment made it better suited for commercial use. A five-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth® connectivity was the extent of the infotainment offerings, and advanced driver-assist features were limited to rear park assist and a rearview camera. Look for a new, larger, and better-equipped ProMaster City arriving for the 2027 model year.

First generation Ram Promaster City
Ram introduced the ProMaster City in 2015 to provide a smaller commercial alternative to the full-size commercial vans that were often too large for certain business needs. Sharing a platform with the Fiat Doblo sold in the rest of the world, the ProMaster City was initially offered in Tradesman and SLT trim levels, with either a two-seat cargo or five-passenger configuration. While it didn’t have all the niceties of the brand’s consumer-oriented minivans, the ProMaster City delivered impressive cargo-carrying capability, with multiple door and window options, making it ideal for customization to meet specific business needs.
Powering the Ram ProMaster City was a 2.4-liter Tigershark four-cylinder engine. While it didn’t put out much power, it was more than adequate for the van’s commercial purposes and achieved an EPA estimate of 24 mpg combined. With up to 131.7 cubic feet of cargo space, the ProMaster City could haul up to 1,883 pounds or tow 2,000 pounds when properly equipped. However, the van was short-lived and never received any significant updates.
