Rugged cargo van
The 2021 Promaster 3500 is Ram's top-line commercial cargo van. With a 280-horsepower V6 engine paired with a six-speed gearbox, the Promaster 3500 offers robust towing capacity. And with a wide wheelbase that can be found with a standard or high roof, the full-sized Promaster also can handle huge payloads. With the essentials taken care of though, Ram has also outfitted the Promaster 3500 with a number of interior and exterior perks, including remote start and a full roof rack. Remote start functionality may require the purchase of a subscription plan and/or a compatible device like a smartphone. See the owner's manual or manufacturer website for more information. Whatever kind of jobs you might have in mind, the 2019 Promaster 3500 is a high-end commercial cargo van ready to help.

5 reasons to buy the 2019 Ram Promaster 3500
1. Capable powertrain
The singular engine configuration on the 2019 Ram Promaster 3500 is a 280-hp 3.6L V6 paired with a six-speed automatic gearbox. That's sizeable power matched with needed control that can manage 260 lb-ft of torque and tow an estimated 5,100 lbs when properly equipped.
2. Payload configurations
A cargo van looks deceivingly simple from the outside: a box on a frame. While that is technically the case, Ram offers the 2021 Promaster 3500 in multiple sizes. Fitted with the singular 159-inch wide wheelbase and 77.1-inch high roof, you can look out for trims with either a 12-foot or extended 13-foot bed. While the latter will get you more volume of space foot for foot, the regular 12-foot bed actually can handle a slightly bigger estimated payload of 4,430 lbs.
3. Front-wheel drive
The 2021 Ram Promaster 3500 comes standard with front-wheel drive. That means those essential (and heavy) drive components are fitted up front underneath the chassis, which in turn reduces the cargo-load-floor height and step-in height. For a van made for loading and unloading, that means both smoother ergonomic navigation in and out of the cab, plus improved traction with all that weight positioned at the front of the vehicle.
4. Smooth handling
Big box vans aren't necessarily known for their smooth turning, but on the 2019 Promaster 3500, premium heavy-duty suspension combined with a decisive captain's wheel allows for a 46.8-ft curb-to-curb steering radius. If you're imagining tight city maneuvering or complicated handling jobs, the Promaster 3500 can help you avoid those frustrating extra-point turns when you're in a pinch.
5. Perks and aids
Inside the 2019 Promaster 3500 is a strong menu of driver aids and perks. Traction control, power locks, and a rearview camera are standard equipment. On the other hand, parking sensors, remote start, and a rear defroster are optional equipment to look out for.
