2016 RAM ProMaster City Tradesman SLT

The ProMaster City is Ram's compact work van, sized for tight city streets and garage parking. It drives more like a car than a big van, with quick steering and a tight turning circle that makes it easy to maneuver. Inside, the cabin is practical and roomy, with a tall roof that gives you plenty of headroom and a flat load floor. The rear doors open wide, and the low load height makes it simple to slide in cargo, so it's a genuinely useful workhorse. Stepping up to the Tradesman SLT from the base Tradesman adds power heated mirrors, remote keyless entry, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel, making it a noticeably more comfortable van for daily use. The 2.4L I4 makes 184 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque, paired with a nine-speed automatic and front-wheel drive, which gives it enough hustle for highway merging and returns 21 mpg combined in mixed driving. The heavy-duty suspension is standard on this trim, so expect a firm ride when the van is empty, but it pays off when you load up near its 101.7 cubic feet of cargo space capacity.
