2024 RAM ProMaster 1500 Performance

The 2024 RAM ProMaster 1500 is designed with easy handling and performance in mind. A 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine delivers a net output of 276 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque. The engine pairs with a 9-speed automatic transmission and standard front-wheel drive for smooth acceleration and superb vehicle control in all road conditions.

Depending on the trim level, light or medium-duty suspensions absorb road vibrations and shocks for enhanced handling on bumpier roads. In the base Tradesman trim, the powertrain delivers a payload capacity of 4,000 lbs and a gross vehicle weight rating of 8,550 lbs, making this model perfect for hauling parcels and other types of cargo.

Versatile Configuration Options

No matter what van you need, the ProMaster 1500 can be customized to suit your requirements. The Tradesman trim, for instance, comes in low-roof and high-roof options with a 118-inch or 136-inch wheelbase. The SLT and SLT+ models also can be had with a low or a high roof paired with a 136-inch wheelbase. This translates to an interior cargo volume between 259 and 353 cubic feet.

In addition to the cargo area, you can also customize the cabin, opting for a three-seat bench or individual bucket chairs. A crew van option is also available if you don’t need as much cargo space but would rather move your whole team. Cabin configuration options can include a front double-bench seat for a maximum capacity of six seats, front bucket seats, or front swivel bucket seats, for enhanced comfort.

Innovative Tech and Driver Assistance Features

RAM equipped the ProMaster 1500 with loads of tech features and driver assistance technologies designed to enhance your driving experience and safety. The standard Uconnect 5 infotainment system offers intuitive access to connectivity and entertainment, including hands-free phone control via Bluetooth, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay. The available RAM Connect App can provide remote vehicle access and journey insights.

Remote keyless access and a push-button start enhance convenience, while traction control, electronic roll mitigation, and hill start assistance can help you keep the vehicle under control in challenging driving conditions. Advanced driver assistance technologies include drowsy driver detection and traffic sign recognition, while a rear backup camera comes standard for easier parking in tight spaces or between two vehicles.
