PEARL RIVER, N.Y., May 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Ram Truck
dealers from around the New York City metropolitan area made their way to Pearl River, N.Y., today to load-up on new Ram ProMaster City vans.
The Ram Commercial Truck brand hosted a one-day dealer drive-away event for the popular new ProMaster City van. From there,
dealers will head back to their stores with dozens of small vans destined for all sorts of small businesses – from caterers to
locksmiths.
Following Ram Commercial Truck brand's best February, March and April on record for small-van sales volumes, Ram dealers have
been clamoring for more shipments in order to meet the unprecedented demand.
The ProMaster City's class-leading features and third-party accolades, including Green Car Journal's 2016 Commercial
Green Car of the Year™, have helped boost the van's success.
Ram ProMaster City offers best-in-class standard features where they count:
- 178 horsepower and 174 lb.-ft. of torque
- Payload – 1,883 pounds
- Cargo volume – 131.7 cubic feet
- Unsurpassed 24 combined mpg (21 mpg city/ 29 mpg highway)
- Unsurpassed towing capacity – 2,000 lbs.
- Exclusive 9-speed automatic transmission
- Powertrain warranty – five years/60,000 miles
The 2016 Ram ProMaster City is Ram's newest addition to its commercial vehicle lineup and contributes to the expanding,
purpose-built van segment with functional elements tied directly to commercial customer demand. ProMaster City opens a door for
incremental growth of Ram's brand sales volumes. Available in Tradesman cargo or five-passenger Wagon variations, the Ram
ProMaster City is based on the successful Fiat Doblò, a two-time International Van of the Year winner with more than 1.3 million
units sold. The Class 1 entry incorporates familiar Ram design elements and offers features, systems and powertrains preferred by
North American customers.
