Midsize work van returns under $40K
Starting MSRP*$37,400

The 2027 Ram ProMaster City is an all-new midsize commercial van that fits under 80 inches, so it clears most garages. It is available as a cargo van or a five- or eight-passenger wagon, with a turbocharged four-cylinder and front-wheel drive. Ram is pitching it at small businesses, couriers and trades that do not need a full-size ProMaster.
The New England take
In Boston, Providence, Portland and the older mill cities, the ProMaster City is the van that actually fits. Ram lists it at just under 77 inches tall, so it clears most parking structures and residential garages, with a 129-inch wheelbase and a turning diameter just over 42 feet. Cargo volume tops 167 cubic feet, the load floor is 111 inches long, and Ram's targets are 2,200 pounds of payload and about 2,000 pounds of towing. Cargo versions start at $37,400. Power is a 166-hp turbo four driving the front wheels only, which is fine on plowed city streets but less so on steep unplowed hills. Specifications are preliminary.

At just under 77 inches, the ProMaster City is short enough for most parking structures and residential garages, a big advantage in cities. Inside, the cargo area is still 54 inches tall.

The load floor is 111 inches long and more than 48 inches wide between the wheel arches, enough for a pair of standard U.S. pallets placed front to back. Total cargo volume tops 167 cubic feet.

A sliding door sits on the passenger side, and the rear has either swing doors that open to 180 degrees or a new optional liftgate. Eleven combinations of windows, panels and rear doors are offered.

A 1.6-liter turbo four makes 166 horsepower and 221 lb-ft, driving the front wheels through an eight-speed automatic. Ram's early targets are 2,200 pounds of payload and about 2,000 pounds of towing.

Standard equipment includes a 10-inch digital gauge cluster, a 10-inch touchscreen with navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heated front seats and a digital rearview mirror. The SLT adds front parking sensors and wireless charging.
4 trim levels, listed from entry to top of the range.

Ram lists the van at just under 77 inches tall, and it positions it as short enough for most parking structures. Still, every garage posts its own clearance, and roof racks, ladders and beacons add height. Check the signs, measure any rooftop equipment and keep the van to the tallest limit you know of.
In cities and on plowed roads, yes, with winter tires. A loaded van has more weight over the driven wheels, which helps. There is no AWD or 4x4 listed, so a route that includes steep Vermont hills or unplowed driveways may call for a different vehicle. A bigger ProMaster is also front-drive.
The Tradesman Cargo starts at $37,400 plus $2,595 destination, or $39,995 delivered. The SLT Cargo is $38,900, the Tradesman Passenger Wagon is $40,100 and the SLT Passenger Wagon is $41,600, all before destination.
Ram says production starts in 2026 and vehicles reach dealers in the first quarter of 2027. Orders opened in the second half of 2026.
Ram's targets are 2,200 pounds of payload and about 2,000 pounds of towing, the latter with the optional Class 3 hitch. The specification sheet is preliminary, so the final numbers may change.

Usually, yes. It stands just under 77 inches tall, and Ram calls it the only Class 2 commercial van below 80 inches, so it clears most standard garage openings and parking structures.
Yes. The Passenger Wagon seats five, or eight with the optional third row, and has side-curtain airbags for the rear rows. The second and third rows come out when you need to turn the wagon into a cargo hauler.
