2014 RAM ProMaster 2500 Cargo/Work Van Video Review 

Finally someone who did his homework and explained a product correctly

i own a 2500 high roof 3.6l v6 promaster and i love it. i average 13 mpg in the city and on the highway im averaging 22mpg. i own a/c company so they are loaded down with everything a regular service van has, freon, capacitors, motors ect. i usually carry around 2000lbs worth of stuff all day. i have loaded 2300lbs of additional weight on top of the 2k i already have had on the truck to bring my total weight to around 4400lbs or so. the truck drives great even fully loaded. Ive never owned a truck that has such a tight turning radius before i mean i can make a u turn without having to backup 2 times like my old Chevy box truck had to do. there is tons of room inside. i bought the promaster after looking at the new ford transit because the transit walls tapper in at the top and the promaster has straight walls all the way to the top. i have over 45k miles on it now. i get complements all the time from my customers on how big this truck is compared to my old v8 Chevy box truck. the a/c freezes me out. what the video leaves out is the gas tank under the floorboard of the driver seat, the battery compartment is directly under your feet and the muffler is under the passanger floorboard. runs quiet and is a pleasure to drive and gets around the city with ease. the promaster did take some time to get use to on parking because it is a long long van.

I had no reason to watch this video, as I'm not looking for a warehouse to drive. But because it was you reviewing it, I had to watch it. Nice job.

Good review! I recently purchased a RAM Promaster hi top 2500 van (2016) and average 18 mpg in city and over 20.0 on the road. Slowly converting it to a camper. I believe that the FordTransit is more comfortable to drive, but I really like this Promaster. It's an Italian design so a bit different than other vans. But I love the front-wheel drive and the large windows in front that will be great touring the National Parks. The 139 inch wheel base is handy for a normal parking spot so it can be used as a daily car as well as a camper. Overall, it's a fun vehicle to drive. I find that loading the van front and back actually gives it more stability and softer drive. The extra width definitely appeals to the camper wannabe...and best of all, it's about $5000 less than the Ford Transit. When I tried to buy a Ford, I was put off by the lack of knowledge and interest in selling their vans. Either way, both are good camping vans. The extra height, width, and front wheel drive gives the nod to RAM Promaster in my opinion.

i own a 2500 hi top, i use it to carry heavy musical equipment (sound system for concerts) never had a problem with it, behind the wheels feels like a car, sharp turns like a compact car, drove from NY to Florida a few times and is very confortable, best of all cost me $5000 less than Ford Transit and $10,000 less than Mercedes Benz sprinter and with a lot more options, for example dual sliding doors not available with Ford and 2 passenger bench seat

I chose the promaster because it's has more space and a good looking van over the competition and it comes with cab lights

The Fiat Ducato: we're expecting you to crash this.

The standard seat height adjustment in a kenworth truck is the same.amd I love how Americans think a European vehicle is sub standard to a us one .when the rest of the world thinks us vehicles are rubbish.

I like the look of the ProMaster. I don't like the look of the Ford Transit front end.

So here we are 9 months later and how is ProMaster doing? Apparently FCA called this one correctly as ProMaster is already outselling Sprinter by a good margin. Ford will hold onto the bulk of the market, but it looks like the ProMaster is finding its share of buyers. The diesels are just starting to arrive at the dealerships so it is too soon to say how those will go over. I do wonder if FCA will eventually offer AWD on these as they do in Europe. It could be a good selling point. As it is in Europe the ProMaster is quickly becoming an RV conversion favorite due to its large interior volume and low load floor. I personally know two people currently converting these to van-campers. The 6+ feet between the walls means you can install a bed crosswise in the back rather than having to have it run fore-aft so the Promaster is a natural for that type of application.

This host is awesome. I'd watch him review anything!

We are getting one. This is the absolute best looking vehicle out there. I love the way it looks like the Toyota Prius in large. What I wished for.

I can not stop laughing throughout the video, this guy, Aaron Gold is really a bar of gold.

I would totally live in one if I lived in Silicon Valley or something.

I talked to an owner of this type of van and the company had to replace the transmission twice within the first 20,000 miles. Good luck if you have one.

front whhel drive its not a problem lol in Europe just in Us lol .. in my boxer i put 4 t cargo and its going like hell ...and if somebody want a fuel economy stay with european engine 7-8l /100 km with daily 3t cargo you will get max 10l/100km ... ok only if you dont get over 25-2800 rpm ... thats the beauty of diesel ... low low rpm big cargo ... and manuall transmission 4ever :D

What FWD pickup did Chrysler make? The Rampage? Sigh.... Even when they were current, who actually LOADED one? It was a 2200# truckette, with about 1000# of payload capacity, The loaded winter performance of a Lifestyle vehicle like that, should have zero room in a review of an obvious work van. That's like comparing apples to wheelbarrows. A better comparison would be to any FWD minivan made anywhere. But here's the thing. Has anyone ever heard people actually complain about winter traction in a minivan with a load in it? No. Loaded winter traction will be a non-issue. Durability of a European designed vehicle should be the only real question on our not-so-smooth roads. Other than that, I really like the review!

I had a 2014 ram pro master 2500 high top. Nothing but problems always breaking down from door handles to hinges to serious engine problems and radiator leaks. MANY MANY ELECTIRCAL PROBLEMS. Parts are VERY EXPENSIVE and there are no after market parts so you are forced to go to the dealer. Very unreliable work truck. Stay away. I finally traded it in and bought a Nissan NV 2500 with a V-8 engine.

HowD there folks, I work in a van traveling all across America in my industry (Expediting) in similar vehicles as listed above! GREAT van & one day I wish to own one just like it. Stop on over & follow me in my van all across America! Cheers!

I watched this whole thing to see the size of the inside storage area and he doesn't show it - why????

Nice balanced review of pros and cons. Suggest you don't begin your sentences with "now" so many times.

Oh look, the Ben Shapiro of van reviewers😂😂😂

excellent review

They do have snow and hills in europe

Great review

Great video.

Good job!

aww first world country cars.. such a variety..

I just hate how a fuel efficient cargo van in europe, becomes a V-6 gas guzzler here. Sure they have a diesel option, but again it is a guzzling diesel not the fuel-efficient diesel they get, and we get the option of paying an extra $6000 for it, thereby virtually negating the fuel savings. When will North America join the rest of the industrialized world?

2:23 DO NOT ATTEMPT

01:58 What kind of a BOX on a floor under passenger seat ???

Isn't this a car review? Why didn't you just load it up to see if it affects front traction?

Ugly? American really have no taste. That said, what surprises me is all the complaints about front-wheel drive, without even testing loadcapacities! How would you explain that these vans run ahead in Europe's van sales, if you can't even load them? Ugh, this is stupid.

Fiat Ducato.

Don't buy it i got one good fuel mileage but breaks down alot firts i have oil presure problem luckily it was under warranty so i didn't have to pay bt now side door jam which is gonna cost me 714.00 plus tax sadly its been 3 weeks they don't have parts they said the parts are coming from Italy and i m out of work

Really does need a face lift cause I wouldn't own it I would rather have a Mercedes sprinter

Citroën jumper ?

shalom

Español

We have these at my workplace they're falling apart

Funny guy 🤣

Does is better hands down. This italian design is how should I say -crap. With front wheel drive and no real manual transmission is absolute garbage. The last italian cargo bans was tigrotto and lupetto in the 60s

MADE IN MEXICO

Terrible exterior incredible interior

Price $$$ nerd...

Have they not invented white plastic so it doesn't have to stand out so much in these vehicles. The black plastic makes it look ugly and cheap.

🤣🤣🤣this guy is funny

Fiat ducato copy

these things ride horrible the ford e series rides WAY better

Nice balanced review of pros and cons. Suggest you don't begin your sentences with "now" so many times.
