2026 Ram · Van
Full-size front-drive van, gas or electric
Starting MSRP*$44,105
The Ram ProMaster is a Class 2 full-size commercial van with front-wheel drive, a low load floor and a wide choice of lengths and roof heights. A 276-horsepower V6 is the standard engine, and the ProMaster EV adds an all-electric option for delivery fleets. It is built for delivery, trades and vocational upfits, and also comes as a window van and a cutaway chassis.
The Midwest take
The ProMaster is the van for trades that start in a cold driveway at 6 a.m.: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, delivery. It has a 276-hp 3.6-liter V6 and front-wheel drive, with up to 4,750 pounds of payload and 524 cubic feet of cargo space in the largest cargo van. Front-wheel drive puts the engine weight over the drive wheels, which helps, though a loaded van on an unplowed route still wants winter tires. A heated steering wheel and heated windshield are available, a thoughtful touch for a driver who climbs in and out forty times a day. The tall roof is also a sail in prairie crosswinds. Ram's spec sheet lists towing up to 7,130 pounds. It is built at Saltillo Van Assembly in Mexico, and a 164-mile EV version exists for fleets.
Ram offers the ProMaster in 118-, 136- and 159-inch wheelbases, with low, high or super high roofs, and a longer extended-frame version at the top end. You can also get a window van, or a cutaway chassis for an upfitter. The tallest configuration provides up to 524 cubic feet of cargo space.
Putting the drive wheels at the front keeps the load floor low and flat, which makes stepping in and loading easier for drivers who do it dozens of times a day. Ram says the ProMaster has a best-in-class turning radius and cargo height.
The gas ProMaster uses a 3.6-liter V6 with 276 horsepower and a nine-speed automatic. The ProMaster EV pairs a 110 kWh battery with 268 horsepower and 302 lb-ft of torque, and ramtrucks.com quotes up to 164 miles of range for the cargo van.
A 7-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen is standard and SLT+ steps up to a 10.1-inch Uconnect 5 NAV screen with split-screen use. Available extras include a surround-view camera, wireless phone charging, Alexa and TomTom navigation, and a heated steering wheel and windshield. A telematics module is standard.
With the V6, ProMaster is rated to tow up to 7,130 pounds and carry up to 4,750 pounds, depending on the body. Payload is the key spec for most van buyers, so compare it carefully by body style and roof height.

It is a front-wheel-drive van, and Ram promotes front-drive traction. With a load over the drive wheels and winter tires it manages most plowed roads. It is not 4x4, so for rural job sites with unplowed access, a pickup or chassis cab may be the better tool.
