Used 2021 Ram ProMaster City Consumer Reviews
Contractor tested and approved
Very versatile for a small vehicle, snow handling poor. Turn off your traction control if you're stuck. Center console poorly designed but door bottle holders even the score. Needs a digital speedometer. Radio reception is often spotty. I outfitted with dual locking ladder racks, alot of noise but to be expected. Tow hitch and light connector with a 8in. Lift tow adapter works great. Tows smooth, good visibility with mirrors but tranny shift is prolonged, probably to be expected. Wall mounted tool boxes left and right and a $50 universal rubber mat. Always buy good seat covers and great floor liners(weather tech) for any vehicle you are going to keep. You won't be disappointed!!! Great value and performance. There are over a million and a half European cousins of this vehicle driving around. So it's not really new or untried, just the North American version 2014 to 2015 not so good. Redesigned 2016 to 2017 models seem overall great for the price. Consider the wagon version, even if you want to work out of it. You will get insulation rear seats and a whole lot more options an versatility for a few thousand dollars more. Also bought a full size spare tire with jack and hanger/installation kit for piece of mind, made the dealer pay half. Driving 1110 miles one way in 2 days from now towing a 4x8 harbor freight folding trailer with a 600lb load. Then 20 min to seperate the trailer into two halves that fit into the back of van, preventing me from towing a light/empty trailer 1110 miles back. That's versatility! Smart vehicle saves me gas, repairs and expensive tires for the work truck. Savings comparison to 1/2 ton work truck equal the cost of this van over a 5 year per period. Do the math, you won't be disappointed.

Maybe you should look just a little longer!
No CD/DVD player, front seats do NOT recline. No lever as in every other vehicle I've owned and/or driven in over 45 years. Three recalls, jack that comes with spare tire (purchase separately) won't lift rear wheels off of ground. I would not buy again.

Stiff Painful Pain in the Neck Vehicle!!!
If you want to be in constant pain in neck head shoulders and arms... THIS IS THE VEHICLE FOR YOU! I wouldn't wish this vehicle on my worst enemy, well maybe my worst enemy. The turning radius is worst than a fully loaded semi with double trailer. The gas feed is dangerous, lurches even at lightest touch, why I got whip lash from it and am in constant pain. The lurching is really dangerous if you are close to the car in front of you. Took to dealer but "that's the way it is". Initially had electrical problems with internal lights, so after they "fixed" it, I just kept them off all the time. My other problem is that the sales person at Crown in Oxnard failed to inform me that this is a COMMERCIAL VEHICLE AND REGISTRATION COSTS A FORTUNE. My GMC cargo van, which is much bigger, I never had to pay commercial registration, so I never thought to even ask, nor did he volunteer the info. This vehicle was only to be for personal use, but since it did not have a seat in the back it is commercial vehicle!! (never told about that either) And perhaps worst of all, is the mini toy-like gas tank. Gotta fill it up almost everyday when I go to the grocery store and then gas station. I was used to 26 gal tank in my GMC but this only has 16 gallon, can't go anywhere with a small tank like that. Not fo forget the suspension; Stiff, Stiff, Stiff; feel every little bump and it hurts the neck even further. The seat doesn't help is is also not really padded. What more can I say... If you want this for personal vehicle PASS! If it is for business use every day, be prepared to be constantly in pain from the lurching, stiff suspension and the cost in time for filling the tank every day or more... and not being able to do a u-turn at a light. Still the worst vehicle I've ever driven or owned. Updated 7-28-2022

Bed integration between transmission and engine
I bought the cargo car for construction work instead buy RAM Truck and very disappointment. I just explain some problems: 1. Main problem, which apply during last 30 years. It is integration transmission and engine. Look like torch I can't even imaging how is low driving on hills in San Francisco. 2. Vibration of transmission so high, I am filling, may I use Jack hammer in driving time. Four times brought to dialer, insignificant diagnostic with target, just charge without any warranty (power & transmission)! Diagnostic are 3-4 days, and result - visible problem, engine mounts, charge - $1350 Not start engine - diagnostic result - change motor oil for $90 and so, and so.......

not as expected
I just had to spend $1400.00 on repairs to the AC system and the company we bought it from has not returned our calls to see if this is under warranty.
