Ram ProMaster Buyer’s Guide: Trim Levels, Specs, and Pricing

If you’re shopping for a commercial van that’s built for flexibility, function, and business performance, the Ram ProMaster should be at the top of your list. It’s the go-to choice for many contractors, delivery drivers, fleet managers, and small business owners who rely on dependable transportation to get the job done. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through the ProMaster's available trim levels, key specifications, and pricing, all tailored to help you find the best fit for your work needs.Empty Paragraph

The ProMaster isn’t just another cargo van — it’s built with purpose. Thanks to its front-wheel drive architecture, the ProMaster offers better low-speed traction and a tighter turning radius compared to rear-wheel-drive competitors. That means it’s easier to maneuver in city streets and job sites. With one of the lowest step-in heights in the segment, it’s also easy to load and unload. And with a variety of body styles and upfit options, this van transforms into whatever your business requires — from mobile workshops to delivery rigs and even people movers.

The Ram ProMaster is offered in a few simple, practical trim levels designed for specific commercial uses — each one delivering strong performance and customization options.

This is the core workhorse of the lineup, designed primarily for hauling cargo. Whether you’re building a mobile service van or outfitting it with shelving and tools, the Cargo Van provides an open interior that’s easy to configure. You can choose from different roof heights and wheelbase lengths, allowing for a range of cargo volumes. This van is especially popular among electricians, HVAC techs, plumbers, and last-mile delivery drivers.

Under the hood, you'll find a standard 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 engine that generates about 280 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. That power is delivered to the front wheels through a 9-speed automatic transmission, offering solid control in city and highway driving alike.

If your business involves moving people rather than cargo, the ProMaster Passenger Van is a great choice. Seating for up to 12 passengers makes it ideal for shuttle services, hotels, event transport, or team travel. The interior is designed for comfort while retaining commercial durability, with features like air conditioning throughout and sliding side doors for easy access. It shares the same drivetrain as the Cargo Van but is tailored more toward cabin comfort and safety features like rearview cameras and available blind-spot monitoring.

For more specialized business needs, Ram offers the ProMaster in Chassis Cab and Cutaway configurations. These models are built for custom upfits — from box trucks and refrigerated vans to service bodies and flatbeds. The flat rear frame makes it easy to install whatever type of upfit your industry demands, and the same 3.6L V6 provides a dependable power source for any job. With these options, businesses can create highly specialized work vehicles tailored to construction, logistics, or field service.

All Ram ProMaster models come with the reliable Pentastar® V6 engine, delivering smooth power and fuel efficiency for a vehicle of this size. The engine is well-known for its durability and low maintenance needs. Combined with a front-wheel-drive system, the ProMaster offers better grip on slippery surfaces and a tighter turning radius than most rear-wheel-drive competitors — perfect for navigating busy urban environments or crowded job sites.
Cargo volume can reach up to an impressive 540 cubic feet, depending on your chosen roof height and wheelbase. Payload capacities vary but typically fall in the 3,800–4,600 pound range, with towing capability up to 6,910 pounds when properly equipped.

While commercial in nature, the ProMaster doesn't skip on convenience or modern tech. The standard Uconnect® infotainment system with a touchscreen gives you access to navigation, hands-free calling, and app integration. Higher trims and packages add Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and advanced driver-assistance systems such as lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and front collision warning. These features help keep your team safe and connected on the road.

Pricing for the Ram ProMaster varies depending on body style, wheelbase, roof height, and optional features or upfits. Here’s a general overview of starting MSRPs:

• Cargo Van models start around $40,000 to $45,000
• Passenger Van configurations generally range from $45,000 to $55,000
• Chassis Cab or Cutaway models usually start around $42,000
