At CarHub Automotive Group, we are proud to carry this Ram commercial vehicle, as Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Fiat dealers. If you are searching for a great van to suit your fast-paced, busy work schedule on construction sites or at renovation projects, we have compiled our roundup of everything to know about the trusty ProMaster.
Design:
Designed with safety and security in mind as well as additional cargo space, the upfit-friendly ProMaster also boasts industrial-grade capability and Class-Exclusive Front-Wheel-Drive system. With an emphasis on being spacious, the ProMaster offers a standard capacity of up to 463.0 cu ft. Meanwhile, its maximum cargo width is 75.6 inches. With high ceilings available, the ProMaster will easily store all your materials for a day on the job. The standard interior ceiling height is 66.9 inches, while the high roof option features a height of 77.1 inches.
Performance and Engine:
There’s no need to worry about towing when it comes to performance for the Ram ProMaster! This baby is packed with power and offers a towing capacity of 6,910 lb. Meanwhile, the V6 engine offers 280 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Also, the ProMaster does far more than just give you a set of wheels for the road- it also comes with two choices of alternator power and can conveniently charge up your tools. The 180-amp alternator is standard, while the 220-amp alternator offers an extra boost of power. Unlike other traditional old-fashioned vans in North America, this van is front wheel drive, which means that it will not get stuck in the winter and also offers greater fuel efficiency.
Exterior and Interior:
The exterior of the ProMaster features a black three-piece fascia, a modular fascia design. The three pieces can be replaced easily if needed, making the repair and maintenance process that much more of a breeze. It is also designed to be easy to load or unload, with low load floors and wide rear doors. Let’s not forget about that tall windshield, folding rearview mirrors and side panels and bumpers that will protect the exterior of your vehicle from getting scratched, scraped or damaged.
Take a peek inside and you’ll discover quality tech features. The ProMaster comes with a UConnect multimedia center that is compatible with Bluetooth and features a 5-inch touchscreen. The system is also equipped with Voice Command technology, hands-free navigation and auxiliary switches which can tailor the ProMaster to your work needs.
Lighting also plays a major role when it comes to the interior of the Ram ProMaster, with lighting options that include LED cargo lighting or ambient interior lighting.
Safety:
When you’re powering a large, heavy commercial vehicle like the Ram ProMaster, safety is key. Fortunately, in addition to great cargo widths and roof heights, the always-practical ProMaster is also equipped with a number of safety features. A standard feature on every ProMaster trim level, Crosswind Assist helps you navigate winds and drive safely, despite windy conditions. This is thanks to special sensors that can detect wind, and help you brace against it.
If you’re worried about parking such a big beast, you’ll be thankful for the Digital Rearview Mirror. Meanwhile, reversing becomes stress-free thanks to the ParkView Rear Back Up Camera and the Park-Sense Rear Park Assist feature. While you are on the roads, the inclusion of the Forward Collision Warning, Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection all help to keep you safe and avoid collisions.
