Thanks to its sensible European roots, the 2014 RAM ProMaster full-size cargo van stands as a strong choice for American consumers, giving them a space-efficient design with a user-friendly interior and solid powertrain choices. The 2014 RAM ProMaster is a new cargo van that comes to RAM showrooms by way of Fiat.

2014 RAM ProMaster Cargo Van Power & Handling

Standard on all Ram ProMasters is a 3.6-liter V6 that produces 280 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. This engine offers power, reliability, longevity and, according to Ram, class-leading fuel economy. Those looking for a more traditional power source can stick with the standard 280-horsepower 3.6-liter Pentastar V6. Both engines can be teamed to a 6-speed automatic transmission designed to deal with the added weight and stress a fully loaded ProMaster will likely endure. As full-size vans go, the 2014 Promaster is fairly pleasant to pilot, offering good outward visibility to the front and sides, a city-friendly 36-foot turning circle, and ride quality that's firm without being harsh, even when unloaded. 

Design and Styling of the '14 ProMaster Cargo Van

The 2014 RAM ProMaster comes in three main trim levels: 1500, 2500 and 3500. The 1500 is available with a low or high roof option, while the 2500 and 3500 are only available with the high roof. Standard safety features for the 2014 Ram ProMaster include antilock disc brakes, hill start assist, stability control (with trailer sway control) and traction control. Optional features include a roadside safety kit, rear parking sensors and a rearview camera. The 2014 Ram ProMaster's interior is an example of no-nonsense functionality. Instruments are large and clear, with a multifunction display centered between the speedometer and tachometer. 

Conclusions

Based on the Fiat Ducato commercial van, Ram will offer the 2014 ProMaster in three wheelbases with two ceiling heights, a gasoline V6 or 3.0-liter EcoDiesel turbo-4 and more configuration and equipment possibilities than you can shake a stick at. It's an upfitter's dream come true. For more information about this vehicle, please visit the official 2014 RAM ProMaster Cargo Van website.
