ProMaster City overview
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.
02
Room for two pallets
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.
03
Flexible access
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.
04
Small turbo engine, real work numbers
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.
05
More tech than you expect in a work van
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.

ProMaster City questions, answered
Will a ProMaster City fit in a Boston parking garage?
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.
Is front-wheel drive enough for a ProMaster City in snow country?
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.
How much does the 2027 Ram ProMaster City cost?
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.
When does the new ProMaster City arrive?
Ram says production starts in 2026 and vehicles reach dealers in the first quarter of 2027. Orders opened in the second half of 2026.
How much can the ProMaster City carry and tow?
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.
What engine is in the 2027 ProMaster City?
A turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder with 166 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic and front-wheel drive. There is no other powertrain.
Can the ProMaster City fit in a garage?
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.
Does the ProMaster City come as a passenger van?
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.
