2014 - 2018 Ram Promaster 1500 How to fix P0302 / Replace Fuel Injector / Coil / Spark Plugs.
Ram ProMaster Cargo Van Generation List:
2019 - Now 3rd Gen (X250) Facelift
2014 - 2018 3rd Gen (X250)
Pros
Ram’s ProMaster van for 2017 is the ultimate work truck, offering a cavernous interior, an available diesel engine and nearly infinite configuration possibilities. Whether used for deliveries, as a mobile business or the ultimate RV conversion, starting with the ProMaster as your base is an excellent idea.
Cons
The 2017 Ram ProMaster van is a relatively new commodity, so reliability ratings are hard to gauge. If you’re looking for a passenger van, you’ll have to look to the Ford Transit or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, with the latter also offering the option of all-wheel drive.
Driving The Used 2017 Ram ProMaster
Zero-to-60 times and a run through the slalom course are irrelevant when rating the 2017 Ram ProMaster van. What’s important here is how controlled is its ride, how stable is it when fully loaded and how easy is it to steer and maneuver in tight spots. In these areas, the ProMaster scores high marks. Visibility is aided by large side windows and a massive windshield, while the available rear camera and parking sensors help mitigate rear blind spots caused by the cargo van’s solid metal doors. Ram’s 2017 ProMaster van has an exceptionally tight turning radius, measuring just 36 feet, which is tighter than with most family sedans and three feet tighter than the Ford Transit. The 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 is surprisingly capable of moving this big van, while the front-drive layout helps mitigate crosswind drift, although some of our editors did find the steering to be a bit vague.
Interior Comfort
A big commercial van is for work boots and old gloves, but the 2017 Ram ProMaster still delivers on comfort and convenience. An available suspension-enhanced driver’s seat provides long-haul comfort, and available swiveling seats ease access to the rear. There are three wheelbase lengths, two choices of ceiling height, four choices of body length, up to 17 tie-downs. Add in what’s available from the near-limitless upfitter industry, with racks, shelves and workbenches, and the ProMaster can be turned into just about anything for any purpose. The low load floor and high ceiling might be justification enough to choose the ProMaster.
Favorite Features
FRONT-WHEEL DRIVE
They say it’s better to be pulled around a corner than pushed. In the 2017 Ram ProMaster full-size van, the front-drive layout not only improves handling, it improves the turning diameter and allows for a lower load floor by eliminating the driveshaft. The layout also improves traction in rain and snow.
USER-FRIENDLY INTERIOR
While most commercial vans are good at hauling stuff, the advantage of having the lowest step-in height, highest ceiling height and lowest load floor is easy to see. Customization of a mobile shop or even an RV is greatly improved when you can stand up and move around with ease.
Standard Features
The 2017 Ram ProMaster van, like all big commercial vans, is essentially a blank slate. Standard equipment includes Brembo brakes, a telescoping steering wheel, remote keyless entry, power windows and a 4-speaker radio with USB and auxiliary inputs. Safety-wise, there are electronic traction and stability control, Trailer Sway Control, six airbags and Hill Start Assist to prevent rolling backward on steep inclines. Also a 220-amp alternator, auxiliary oil coolers for the engine and transmission, and air conditioning that can be delete-optioned. As with other commercial vans, most of the rest is up to the owner’s choices and the extensive upfitter industry.
Engine & Transmission
Standard in the 2017 ProMaster is the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 we’ve liked in other Chrysler products. In the ProMaster it delivers 280 horsepower, 260 lb-ft of torque and commendable performance and power. The available 3.0-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged EcoDiesel makes 174 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque at only 1,400 rpm. It promises low-end power and, according to Ram, class-leading fuel economy. Both engines are matched with a 6-speed automatic transmission; the EcoDiesel is also available with an exclusive 6-speed automated manual transmission that allows the driver to choose gears, or can be left on its own and driven like an automatic. If it were our money we’d go with the standard 3.6-liter V6; it’s smooth and powerful and will cost less than the diesel.

3.6-liter V6
280-horsepower @ 6,400 rpm
260 lb-ft of torque @ 4,175 rpm
EPA estimated fuel economy: NA
Note: Due to changes in EPA testing to more effectively reflect real-world conditions, some 2017 models show slightly lower fuel-economy scores than their 2016 versions.
