“Ram has taken a larger presence in the commercial vehicle market with the help of our Ram ProMaster and Ram ProMaster City,” Mike Manley, Head of Ram Brand – FCA. “Our van offerings answer the key segment demands with class-exclusive features, greater capability and low total cost of ownership.”

The three new models added to the lineup include ProMaster 2500 Cargo Van with a low roof and ProMaster 3500 Cargo Vans in low and high roof configurations. All these new models ride on 136-inch wheelbases.

A Class IV receiver hitch with 4- and 7-pin wiring harnesses is now available.

In addition to the new grille treatment, other updates include polycarbonate side rear windows available on high roof models, while low roof models can be equipped with side rear windows with steel grates.
