I would NOT recommend buying the 2017 ram cargo van. It does Not get good fuel mileage like the window sticker said it gets, the window sticker lies! I’m lucky to get 22 Miles a gallon loaded or empty. Also, the doors leak air and you can hear all the road noise as your driving. The cup holders are in a horrible place and make it nearly impossible to get out without spilling. There’s no legs room and seats can’t be moved back because of the bulkhead. I bought this cargo van two months ago with 35 miles on it and I wish I would have never even bought it. Looking to trade it in already.

The owner of the company I am currently working for, bought one of these, should have test driven before getting and SEE how most of it worked! 1st- there is 4 AC vents that shoot straight at the winshield, when the ac is at full blast it condensates real FAST and there is no option to closed them, 2nd - AND REAL important! - the 12 volt port AND THE USB ports shut off when you turn off the vehicle--WTF!, 3rd - when driving with your back fully rested against the seat the small column on the door window blocks pretty much half of the mirror! , 4th there is NO WAY to turn the radio on WITHOUT turning on the vehicle.... there is REAL CHEAP PLASTIC in the floor between the seats, the MANUAL WHICH IS SUPPOSED FIT IN THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT, does NOT, have NOT SEEN that in the million or so miles I have driven!!

I'm a Van guy, been driving Vans for 40 years; Fords, Chevys, Dodges. This is the biggest and best I have ever owned. It handles like a (tall) mini-van, runs like a car. Definitely the PEPPIEST Van out there. Great Visibility from the tall comfortable upright drivers seat; Huge windshield, Great (large electric folding) mirrors, Great rear camera. Excellent steering radius; even the biggest version is easy to park. I've owned it for a year and a half and have 30,000 miles on it. I had a bad tail light seal, and the tail light was replaced by RAM under warranty. I have replaced one headlight bulb.. That's it. No problems, no issues. The Promaster gets great mileage and has no problem passing all the other vans on the highway. Mine is a fully loaded Camper Van, and I am so happy with it, I am seriously considering buying one of the smaller low roof versions as a daily runner. I have no gripes but WOULD like to see a better nav system, and tilt wheel. UPDATE: At 34,000 miles - STILL love it. I've driven a Sprinter, driven a couple Transits, STILL wouldn't trade the Promaster at any price. UPDATE: At 52,000 miles - Still smiling, replaced another $9 headlight bulb. UPDATE: At 65,000 miles - Trouble free. Shopping for another. UPDATE: At 75,000 miles - Still trouble free. Best Van I've ever owned. UPDATE: At 85,000 miles - I'm loving it. Brakes STILL look and perform great! No problems. Just read about a guy who has 645,000 miles on his... It could be a long time before I rack up that many miles. ;-)

Had 2017 model 3 months, and have 13,000 miles on it. ZERO issues so far. Have the standard engine. Took a little while to figure out how to work the three stages of the VVT on the new engine but, now that I have, I regularly get over 19 mpg. Mileage depends highly on speed and wind direction with this beast. Can be anywhere from 15 to 22 in strong winds at highway speeds. Never under 15, even going directly into 20 mph headwind in plains. FWD is GREAT for winter driving, and allows vehicle to have lower deck. Vehicle bounces around empty. I carry about 1000 pounds payload, which has it stable. Have had up to 3000 pounds in it and it handles just fine. Seating is on the high side relative to windows and took getting used to, but like being able to see over the top of SUV's and most pick up trucks.
