2026 Ram ProMaster Cargo Van

Ram ProMaster Cargo Van Research and Review

The Ram ProMaster Cargo Van is the full-size commercial van of choice for Antioch, IL and Lake County businesses that need maximum cargo volume, low load floor height, and front-wheel drive reliability in a package that works hard every day without complaint. Whether you run a plumbing, electrical, HVAC, or delivery operation across Lake and McHenry Counties, the ProMaster's class-leading cargo volume, wide body configuration, and available roof height options give your business more working space per dollar than any competing cargo van. Antioch Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram carries the Ram ProMaster Cargo Van at our 105 Rt. 173 location.

The ProMaster's front-wheel drive layout is a genuine advantage over the rear-wheel drive Transit and Sprinter — a lower floor height that makes loading easier, better traction in Illinois winter conditions without needing to add ballast or rear-drive assist, and a tighter turning radius that makes urban Antioch and Waukegan route work more manageable.

• Class-leading cargo volume — up to 283.4 cubic feet in the longest-wheelbase configuration.
• Front-wheel drive — lower load floor, better Illinois winter traction, tighter turning radius.
• Available in 1500, 2500, and 3500 payload ratings — right-sized for every business need.
• 136-inch and 159-inch wheelbases — standard and extended length to match your routes.

Ram ProMaster Performance and Payload

The ProMaster is powered by a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 producing 280 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque through a 9-speed automatic transmission — a proven powertrain that handles Antioch's surface streets and interstate routes with equal composure. The 1500 series covers lighter commercial operations with a payload up to approximately 4,370 lbs. The 2500 and 3500 series step up payload capacity for heavier commercial applications. Available configurations include cargo van, window van, cutaway, and chassis cab — making the ProMaster the commercial platform that adapts to the widest range of Lake County business requirements.

The ProMaster EV is also available — an all-electric version that delivers zero-emission operation ideal for Antioch businesses with last-mile delivery routes, municipality operations, or sustainability commitments that make the transition to commercial EV a business priority. Contact our commercial team to discuss ProMaster gas and EV availability and commercial fleet pricing.

• 3.6L Pentastar V6 — 280 hp and proven reliability for commercial daily use.
• ProMaster EV available — zero-emission last-mile delivery for Antioch area businesses.
• Cargo van, window van, cutaway, and chassis cab body styles to fit every operation.

Ram ProMaster Cargo Volume and Configuration

The ProMaster's widest-in-class interior — 60.2 inches between wheel wells in the 2500/3500 wide-body — is the dimension that matters most for Antioch tradespeople who need to carry full sheets of drywall or plywood flat without compromise. Low floor height of 21.8 inches in the 1500 makes repetitive loading and unloading significantly less physically demanding over a full workday. Available high-roof configurations bring interior standing height up to 6.4 feet — tall enough to work inside the van without bending, which matters for service technicians who do equipment installation in the cargo area.
