So you’d like to get a cargo or passenger van? Let’s introduce you to the 2020 Ram Promaster City. Unlike the Ram Promaster, you can stand up in the Promaster City. You also get more maneuverability, a smaller footprint, and better fuel economy in the Promaster City. It’s all the cargo van lots of small business owners need. And if you’re not a business owner, the Promaster City can handle the pitter-patter of lots of little feet. In this guide, we get you oriented in the 2020 Ram Promaster City.
Cavernous Cargo Hold
First off, let’s talk cargo capacity. This is what you came for, isn’t it? Open up the back doors and feel your mouth gape. There’s 131.7 cubic feet of maximum cargo space, among the biggest of any small van. That’s 82.7 inches of floor length. Get it as a cargo van, and the 2020 Ram Promaster City can haul up to 1,883 pounds. Go with the passenger van configuration and you’re hauling slightly less than that. Even the passenger van has 101.7 cubic feet to play with, and that’s with two rows of seating. And though you can’t stand up inside it, at 4 feet 4 inches interior height, there’s lots of stacking room and easy access with sliding doors on either side.
Promaster Power
All the storage space in the world doesn’t mean a thing if the power isn’t there to move it all. Luckily, the Ram Promaster City offers a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine making 178 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque. The EPA rates the Promaster City as getting 24 miles per gallon combined. All those numbers mean this cargo van is pretty peppy for its size and function.
Twin Trim Levels
Besides having cargo or passenger van configurations, there are two trim levels in the 2020 Ram Promaster City. First off, there’s the Promaster City Tradesman starting at about $24,000. The Tradesman includes standard features like steel wheels, keyless entry, cloth upholstery, air conditioning, front overhead storage bin, Bluetooth, 5-inch touchscreen, and four-speaker stereo with USB port. Make it a passenger-friendly Wagon to add a 60/40-split folding rear bench.
Or for a couple thousand more, you can upgrade to the Promaster City SLT. Get everything the Tradesman offers, plus power-adjustable heated mirrors, privacy glass, leather-wrapped steering wheel, driver-seat height and lumbar adjustments, upgraded cloth upholstery, and cruise control.
Beside trim levels, there are several features packages that might interest those who want to make theirs perfectly suited for their tastes and needs. First up, there’s the Popular Entertainment group, adding second-row power windows, six-speaker stereo, and heated front seats. There’s also a Lights and Wheels group for alloy wheels and foglights. Then there’s the Cargo Partition package and a tow package with a Class 3 hitch. Make your Promaster City anything you need it to be.
