Ram Promaster City Review | 5 things you NEED to know!

Although I've already owned a 2021 Ram Promaster City Van which I bought brand new, this review is of my newly purchased used 2020 tradesman SLT edition with 27K miles. Wish me luck!

You’re probably already doing this: check your oil level regularly for high consumption. There’s a manufacturer recall affecting the Tigershark engine on the Dodge 200, and the PMC. I don’t remember the maximum quantity rate, but if you’re exceeding it, it’s an engine replacement, free of charge.
I’ve got a 2015 PMC with over 100, 000 miles and no issues with the engine. It runs well, and I get over 30 mpg highway.
Seats are comfy, I’ve done numerous 1000 mile+ trips with it.

Hi Will just came across your videos while looking at camper vans and I'm glad I did. Thanks for your informative videos that answer a lot of the concerns and questions I have. I'm new to camper vans I haven't bought one yet, but I know it's definately something I have to try. So I will continue to watch and hopefully take the next step. Peace out. Mike

Can’t find anymore new versions of these since last summer 2023 I believe. I test drove these years ago. I should have bought one for $20, 000 brand Yes $20, 000!!!! I wanted to pay off my current vehicle Jeep Renegade which shares the same engine and transmission. I heard about “oil consumption” but I change my oil every 3000 miles. I only have a little over 50, 000 miles on my renegade currently in 2024. I saw a used promaster city that had about 279, 000!! Lol wow. It has the ability to go that long apparently. They are even selling it for $6000. I need this van for daily use. My visits to the store like Walmart and sams club. My renegade has room but I really could use unlimited space and easy cleaning too. Sliding doors etc. I saw one used for $35, 000 and it has 6000 miles. Even used they are expensive here with low miles. Smh.

So the concern is this: when in 2020 was it built? Obviously the components should be good. But if it was built during late 2020, labor training and QC would be suspect. Likewise, I would not buy a vehicle made in 2021, as the labor/QC affects not just the vehicle assembly but the components too. Be aware that decades of accumulated knowledge was being wiped out on the assembly lines due to Covid and hastily replaced by on the job trained workers.

These vans had the potential to be great, unfortunately the engine Dodge put into these Fiat designed, make in Turkey where garbage. I have a loaded 2018 wagon version that I bought brand new at a local dealer and about 10, 000 miles in, the engine failed and they had to changed the engine under the factory warranty. No wonder they discontinued this model.

[ronaldkozaryn]

Can the transmission fluid be changed ?

[jameskoehler]

POS. Worst vehicle I've ever owned. Bought brand new. Burned 1 quart of oil every 1000 miles, which RAM says is acceptable. Holds less than 5 qts, oil change interval is 8000 miles...that math doesn't add up. Despite adding oil to keep at the proper level, the engine DIED at 57, 000 miles. The dealership had to replace half the engine at zero charge, ONLY because of a class action lawsuit settlement that extended the warrantee. No "cost, " but a month of downtime for my business for the repair. After the repair, it still burns a qt of oil every 1000 miles. DO NOT BUY.

Anyone have this van? How’s it be so far? Looking at a 2015 with 95km but want to know what I’m getting into first before buying it?

How’s yall experience with them?

[Friskojack_]

The 2.4L engine in the promaster is garbage.

Something everyone needs to know, THIS VAN IS UTTER GARBAGE IN THE SNOW, even with snow tires. Sits and spins
