I purchased this van to try out for our company. I had HIGH hopes for it. I am now considering .....lets say reconsidering if i still want a fleet that's constantly having electrical issues. These problems started happening out of the dealership. we are changing bulbs on the headlight almost every other month.

I’ve been driving this van for almost two years now as a service rep in the music industry. Routinely, I do about 35,000 miles a year and currently have 53,000 miles on the van. For the capacity (2500 extended high roof), the MPG has been outstanding at 18.3mpg average over the 53,000 miles. I’ve not had any mechanical issues except for one: They shop that put in the aftermarket trailer brake controller put a screw through a wire. It didn’t cause issues at first, but after several thousand miles it caused an intermittent short that left me dead on the road. I can’t directly blame RAM for that fault but I will say that it is foolish that RAM makes a van with this towing capacity but doesn’t offer a factory trailer brake option. With the addition of a lumbar support cushion, I find the van to be very comfortable. Yes, it rides like a cargo van, but it’s actually not as rough as most 2500 pickups I’ve driven. The heater and A/C keep up just barely when your driving on a day in the extremes. Where I’m at that means anywhere from 0 to 100 degrees. As a driver, my only real complaint is that the passenger A pillar is a HUGE blind spot at intersections. This has caused a few close calls. I have towed a 7x14 enclosed double axle trailer weighing about 5,000lbs when loaded and the van does just fine with it. Due to the van blocking the wind, I still get a remarkable 13.5mpg towing this trailer at 70mph on a calm day. I’ve towed it maybe 3000 miles and not had any issues. Just remember that you’re towing a trailer in a big van: you won’t do jackrabbit starts. All in all, I’m very pleased with this van for the work that I do. I see a lot of negative reviews here on them and the negative reviews far outweigh the positive ones. I’m not sure if this is because these are prone to issues or whether it’s because people are more likely to comment if their experience is negative. My experience has been almost 100% positive so I think it is probably the latter.

If I could meet all the Idiots involved in the decision to build this fiat made in Mexico POS I would slap them all!!! I wasted 32,000 on mine. After 13 complaints in 500 miles, yes thats right, FIVE HUNDRED MILES, my transmission gave out and finally got the lemon law and an attorney to shove this crap up the FCA gazoo. Back in 2017 there were not a bunch of reviews yet to warn consumers about the trash being made by FCA. Now there are hundreds of thousands of enlightened consumers about the promaster junk. I'm surprised it gets 2 stars but that is due to the FCA rumor control and whats left of marketing. Very soon they will need to take every one of these to the scrap pile for recycling. Maybe then it will be worth something. For anyone who still has doubts about this mistake of a van just take some time to read reviews, there are thousands of them....

2014 2500, 2016 2500, 2017 2500 & 2018 3500 Dodge ProMaster. I have had 4. The one I have now is a 2018 with 46,000 miles. The lifters, cams, transmission flex plate and torque converter was replaced. It took 4 weeks to repair. Had it out of shop a week and transmission issues with hard clunky shifting now going on. It didn't have a transmission issue when I took it into the shop???? I have spoke to 3 dealerships. They blame Dodge and Dodge blames the dealerships for these extensive amounts of time they are required to be in the shop. I have spoken to countless other owners and simply put - if you need these vehicles to be on the road earning revenue, you simply can not afford to have these in your fleet. I wrecked one and it was out 6 months at a Dodge dealer for repair. ANY repair, you have to leave the vehicle 3 days to 2 months. All but one had Lifters, Cams & Flex Plate Issues

Bought two 2017 1500 high roof brand new for plumbing business in NYC. Consecutive Vin #'s. Both now around 10,000 miles. Both had numerous headlight failures. Roof lights also failed on both. Some parts are not available yet. Both have horrible gas mileage around 7mpg not fully loaded. Horrible in the snow or wet roads. They lurch forward when trying to accelerate. Transmission shifts sound like a hammer against steel. One has now been at the dealer for repair for a month. The emergency brake linkage came apart. Truck was stuck in customers driveway blocking her from getting kids from school. My plumber had to crawl underneath and was able to dislodge. How embarrassing. Would never ever buy Dodge again. Switched from Chevy because we needed the high roof that Chevy doesn't have yet. The repair dealer White Plains Dodge is great and honest. Unfortunately they are working on a crappy product. The only good things about these trucks are the room in front and back, the 3 seat option, and the windshield view. Can't find anything else nice to say. Totally disappointed. Stay far away from Promaster. Update: 5/6/19. Ram corporate just called me back. My truck has been at the dealer for e-brake since 3/29/19. Corporate just said the part should be in 7/10/19. 4 months without truck @ $577 per month. They won't guarantee a rental reimbursement. Next call is to Consumer Affairs, Attorney General etc.
