2017 RAM ProMaster City Tradesman

The ProMaster City is Ram's compact delivery van, the smallest in their commercial lineup and a direct rival to the Ford Transit Connect and the Nissan NV200. It drives like a small car, with a tight turning radius and light steering that make it easy to thread through city streets and parking lots. The cabin is basic but functional, with a tall roof and a flat load floor that give you a surprisingly roomy cargo area for such a compact van. Sliding side doors and a 60/40 split rear door open wide, so you can load pallets or long items without much hassle. The Tradesman is the only ProMaster City trim, and it keeps things simple with a 2.4L I4 and a focus on cargo space and low running costs. The 2.4L I4 pairs with a nine-speed automatic and front-wheel drive to give it car-like handling and 24 mpg combined, which is better than a full-size van's. All Tradesman vans come with a heavy-duty suspension from the factory, so expect a firm ride even when the cargo area is empty.
