Bad work van
I own 7 of this piece of junks. the quality sucks, with 27k miles we replace one transmission already, this vehicles fail for all kind of codes and the worst scenario is not parts available, the dealers always take 5-10 days to get the parts, insane ridiculous, how Dodge expected the customers run a business with cars at the dealer for weeks, 5 days to get the ignition switch. I will don't buy one more car from Dodge ever.

Sucks Fuel Like Nobody's Business
I purchased the low roof short wheelbase version to haul motorcycles. Around town I get 16 at best (17 indicated on computer is optimistic). Highway the best I get is 15. I have the Pentastar 6-banger in my Pro-master. Other than the poor fuel economy my only other complaint is the suspension. Simply put it can't handle any bumps. On a rough road you'll want to pull over and check your fillings. When fully loaded it is a little better. Combine the suspension with a windy day and you'll want to stay off the interstate unless you want to be driving a box-kite down the road. The brakes work very well but there is so much front end dive due to suspension that you need to be careful. The front brakes also squeal like hell due to brake pad dust getting on the rotors. Other owners complain as well. All else is good. Excellent technology package, tall seat, spacious windshield. nice backup camera and the cargo area is huge. I sprayed in rhinoliner and insulated the walls/roof. A bulkhead is also a good idea. I'll likely keep the van even with the fuel economy and handling. It's an excellent delivery vehicle, but as an interstate vehicle you won't end up passing many gas stations. Summary Plusses - View of the road and high seating position, low deck height means easy to load things. Side door is awesome. Back doors swing open and completely out of the way. I mounted roof racks as well for ladders, etc. The truck is set up for racks that mount to tabs meaning no need to drill into roof. Minuses - Fuel Economy/range, suspension, brake squeal, and it's the ugliest vehicle from the rear.

Terrible, run fast!
This is total junk! Aside from rust everywhere, everything is inconvenient and must be designed as poorly as possible. I hate driving this van and would rather drive anything from the 80's! Aside from ridiculous understeer, the tires wear out every 12k due to poor design. I don't think they could have designed this whole thing worse if they tried. Why is the oil filter in the most inaccessible place possible? Can't remove the keys if the battery dies? Radiator leak at 40k miles? Totally not designed for anyone higher than 5' tall.

Can hear me coming a mile away
We purchased the promaster for route work , usually making 10 or so stops a day. After about 1000 miles we started getting the front brakes squealing like a pig and a grinding noise while almost coming to a stop. We thought it would stop eventually but at 4000 miles i couldn't stand it anymore and brought it back to the dealer. I told them about the issue and they said they would check it out. When i went back they said the brakes were working as designed and there was nothing else they could do. Piss poor excuse in my book dodge... Wont buy another one..

Promaster, long wheelbase EXT.
I have several Promasters and with the exception of the early 2014's, which had a few recalls, my experience has been good. Is the driving position a little strange, yes, could the dealer support be better, of course. But, after having several Sprinters, and having to pay big money to repair and maintain them, the Promaster is my new favorite. Great fuel mileage, turning radius, light feeling and easy to drive. The low floor height is helpful loading my dirt bike, or anything else. For the extra $10-15 grand for a Sprinter, it just doesn't make sense to me. Mine averages 18 mpg, which is what my Sprinters got on a good day. No more $150.00 oil changes. No more dealing with Mercedes dealers that don't really want to deal with you. No more messy diesel truck stops and the overpriced fuel. Now, if Toyota would just bring a van to compete with the Promaster and Sprinters my life would be much simpler.....2/22/17 Almost 3 years later, still enjoying the Promaster. Just went to Texas, and back, still averaging 18 mpg on gas, and no one problem. Works great for loading my dirt bike and going riding. Still have room for a couch that makes into a bed, sink, refrigerator, TV and surround sound. I am very comfortable camping! 2/22/19 Recently I bought a Transit 350, long, tall with the EcoBoost motor. Wow, what a fun motor to drive. I am not a speeder, my car is a Prius, but this is a good one. Is it better than a Promaster for camping? Not for me, but, I will say its nice to go up a hill and not be shifting back and forth like a Promaster. I get the same fuel mileage(18 mpg) on both. The width is a problem as it doesn't give you the options on floor plans that you have with a wider Promaster. Promaster's have really increased in price over the years and I don't think there the bargain they once were, catching up with the Trainsit for sure. When camping, there's no substitute for room, so the Promaster wins against the Transit in my view. I would never again own a Sprinter.
