Used 2015 Ram ProMaster Cargo Van 1500 High Roof 3dr Van (3.6L 6cyl 6A) Consumer Reviews
This thing is a freaking nightmare
I've only owned this van 3 months and 30,000 miles later it's thrown more codes than my 2000 Chevy Astro with 140,000 miles on it... it's completely unreliable especially for long-haul trips... Dodge needs to quickly discontinue this truck... great concept on the loading height and cargo space everything else is complete crap.... I'm immediately trading this in... might need a lemon law lawyer.

ProMaster Ram 1500 with Sherrod conversion JUNK!!
WHAT A PIECE OF CRAP!!!!!!! Within the first couple of days the passenger door mirror fell off, rear tag light didn't work. The conversion company put different tires on and the tire pressure light stayed on because failed to adjust computer. The back seat bed would not got down. Dealer got new motor from Sherrod. Dealer put it wrong so bed went up sideways. We had an antifreeze leak. dealer said it was a Sherrod pump. Hard to get pump since they changed models. FINALLY got the correct pump installed by dealer. More on that later. Now the brakes started to squeal. Dealer said "most do that" Not a good answer. SO I took the brakes apart my self. There is NO anti squeak lube between the brake pads and the caliper. Fixed that myself front only. NO squeal. NOW the latest, the car will not start sometimes. The key goes into start position but the starter motor will not engage, at times the key cannot be removed. Dealer said they have to order a new key assembly . The old one is about to fall out. Now back to antifreeze pump, started to smell antifreeze again. When pump was changed hoses were crimped and hose clamps were loose on pump and leaked. I fixed that put in a new hose with insulation. Still have trouble starting the car....... DON'T BUY DON'T BUY... I'm putting L-E-M-O-N on the windows with the dealerships name . Ps dealer is in Canton Ga. I've only had the car 8 months. UPDATE: 4/26/18 We no longer have the van it stranded us 4 times I originally said it was JUNK.... My update now is SUPER SUPER JUNK....I can't emphasize this enough DON'T BUY a Sherrod Ram 1500 PROMASTER Period don't even look at one ....I now have a Ford Transit converted by Explorer MUCH MUCH better, but don't get the tire and wheel upgrade for $1800. That is a rip off. They originally put on junk tires instead of what we ordered , we made them change them to what we ordered.

Dodge 1500 poor build
After spending almost 35k I would expect higher standards to manufacture. The new wheel base is off over .6" and the thrust angle is at the maximum/ minumium standard of -3degrees. Never will this drive right. Dealer and manufacture won't correct it.

Doubled My Fuel Economy
The front wheel drive is excellent in the snow. I went through the Rockies twice last winter. I made it through all the passes without any problems. The low floor height reduces drive delivery fatigue. The fuel economy has been excellent! I went from averaging 9.8 MPG in my Chevy Express to 19.8 MPG in the Promaster. I notice that it took about 8,000 miles to break in the engine and achieve high fuel economy numbers. My van is my business, so I want the most value for the money and the Ram Promaster is the right choice!

El RamO stay in Mexico!!! Total trash!
As for the couple of people who put reviews here that say this van has any redeeming qualities you should be ashamed of yourself! Especially the guy in Texas that says he's had his for 3 years with not one problem. Are you kidding me? Who do you expect to believe that certainly not anyone that has a Ram ProMaster. Because anyone that has a Ram ProMaster knows it is a total piece of junk with so many problems you can't even list them all. My transmission went out at 1700 miles.!! Thats SEVENTEEN hundred miles. Bolts were falling out of the car, water came in through the doors, the electrical system, and the guys at the ram service centers all take a deep breath every time another ProMaster pulls on to the lot for repairs. There has never been a vehicle that has been put together and designed so poorly with absolutely no consideration to the American consumers or people that might have been faithful and loyal to the Ram brand. I lost my butt on buying this piece of junk but the lesson learned was worth my loss. I will never buy a ram or any other FCA made in Mexico piece of junk again ever.!
