I own 4 of these. We have changed 60 Lowbeam Headlights since I purchased my 1st in 2014. Dealer would not cover the headlights under Warranty. Dealer Charged $85 for the installed Replacement Bulb. Actually a 15 minute job & $7.50 Bulb. 2 of 4 radios stopped working. Had 2 Blower Control Modules Go. Brake Pads were Originally $400 for PADs Only.. NO LABOR. All of the Cargo Access Doors have issues, they will either not open, can't lock or won't latch shut. There are a number of Torx Bolts holding the latches to back door hardware in place. All side door "Plastic Straps" have broken so we need to rig "Pull Strings" to unlatch doors They Vibrate Loose & Fall out.. Back doors have swung open while on the interstate! Ram has created a monopoly by setting up only 2 Dealers in the Pittsburgh area so parts r often not available & always VERY EXPENSIVE. The Torx bolts were $9 Each & Were Out of Stock. The good news is Front Wheel Drive Great In Snow, has more Cargo Space than the Ford Transit we have purchased to Replace Promasters. Finally, WHY IS THERE NO CLASS ACTION SUIT FOR THE LOWBEAM HEADLIGHTS. Every other Promaster u see on Road will have Burnt Out Headlight.

I can't stand this van, for 10 hours a day it is my office and it has made me miserable since my boss foolishly bought it. he did not test drive and I am paying for it. The dealer sold us a van that is not at all practical for what we do. Its too short for what we need to haul. The window doesn't go all the way down so your resting your arm on a thin piece of glass, the steering wheel doesn't tilt so your stuck in an agonizing and compromising position all day. The driver seat offers no lumbar support. when reversing to a loading dock with the rear doors open it does this constant obnoxious beep so you cant hear if your going to run someone over. (my van was not equipped with a rear cab window) front wheel drive means no winter hills for me with a load. unless you really slam the rear doors and sliders it beeps saying they're open. the list goes on. just really do your homework before a purchase.

55k miles on our van and very happy with it! We only drive it on trips and it has never let us down. Normal maintenance and an occassional light bulb or repair…I last fixed the gas door which had broken off by using rare earth magnets glued to the door and washers glued to the gas port to attract the magnets. Worked well! Have made functional changes to the RV to accommodate us getting older. Still very happy with it at the 10 year mark!

Using the vehicle for small business. Driving conditions very moderate and conservative. Climate area of extreme heat and mild winters. Vehicle functions well so far. Doing an average mileage of 8000 per year. So far no major issues. Drove the vehicle cross country from east coast to west coast with fully loaded cargo. Cargo is mostly light weight but once in a while vehicle load with full capacity 2 pallets weighing 2800 pounds and the vehicle pulls it like a champion. RPM ranging from 2.5 and up to 3.8 on higher angle slopes. Overall trip read a surprisingly 18.8 MPG with an average speed of 66 MPH. It feels heavy and stable on the road like a mini truck. Overall pretty satisfied with the handling and cargo area. Cons: steering wheel has a slight uncomfortable angle and could have been made with more adjustable options and better hand grip (personal preference). Some of the controls could have been closer to the driver. Interior and exterior plastic cover looks cheap and I am worried it would fall apart as soon as the warranty expires. The body of the vehicle also makes an impression of paper thin. Driving the vehicle on a manual mode do actually make a significant difference in RPM and has a potential to save money on gas. Manual drive shift is inaccurate - an attempt to pull low gear at an elevated slope and automatic shifting went into gear regardless of manual intervention. I have a history driving multiple Dodge vehicles and they all start to fail as soon as warranty expires or sooner like a ticking time bomb. Pros: relatively quiet, pretty comfortable seating stable on the road, sharp turns are a plus, and storage space is maximized to the highest potential. As for accessories I decided to purchase a motorcycle garage rubber mat and cut it to size for bedding. It works great, cheap, and protects the floor from scratches. Planning to cover the walls also at some point to avoid scratching the interior paint.

I'm amazed at the 5 star reviews. Even without the constant problems, there are too many design flaws with this van. This one is set up for electrical work, and at 50k miles has had transmission problems, radiator replaced, headlight assembly replaced, the heater intermittently fails, constant coolant smell in the cab that no one can figure out, bad door latches, and gets horrible gas mileage. FWD is great in the snow and allows for a low load floor, but the downsides outweigh this. When loaded down, this thing spins the tires no matter how gentle you are, partially due to the all or nothing transmission. Trying to accelerate smoothly only results in slamming downshifts and the engine screaming. It also hates to reverse uphill, somehow being both gutless and uncontrollably surging. Seating position and visibility are one of the few things I like about the van. Controls in general are not well designed, and the touch screen sucks. As some have pointed out, the windows don't roll all the way down. Why? If I had purchased this, I'd sell it at a loss. Not worth it. As it is, my company runs its vehicles into the ground, so I'm stuck with it for awhile. Luckily, that probably won't be as long as most work vans, as I'm sure it won't make it to 100k without equaling its purchase price in repair costs.
