Ram Commercial today revealed the 2021 Ram ProMaster at National
Truck Equipment Association's (NTEA) "The Work Truck Show®" in
Indianapolis, Indiana.
Aimed at one of the largest commercial customer categories –
vocational use – the 2021 Ram ProMaster is a hardworking full-size
van designed for businesses, construction jobsites and commercial
fleets.
"Ram Commercial was formed in 2014 and our full-size van
customers have enjoyed Ram's benchmark durability ever since," said
Reid Bigland, Head of Ram Brand.
"Ram Commercial continues to focus solely on trucks and commercial
vehicles, allowing us to deliver confidence for hardworking people
every day, no matter their line of work."
New for 2021, and making its debut on an FCA vehicle, a
class-exclusive digital rearview mirror option is available to
replace the traditional rearview mirror with a 9.2-inch wide LCD
monitor.
The digital rearview mirror displays video in real time from a
rear-facing camera and can be turned off to revert back to a
traditional reflective mirror. The digital rearview mirror is
available on all ProMaster models and provides an unobstructed rear
view that enhances safety and prevents accidents while on the
job.
Crosswind Assist is now standard equipment on all 2021 Ram
ProMaster models and helps the driver keep the vehicle stable, even
when wind gusts attempt to push the vehicle off course.
ProMaster now offers several available safety options, including
Blind-spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path detection, Forward
Collision Warning with Emergency Brake Assist and Ambient/Courtesy
Lights.
Blind-spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path detection is an
available option and warns the driver when vehicles enter
ProMaster's blind spot. Available on ProMaster cargo vans,
Blind-spot Monitoring enhances safety and lowers the total cost of
ownership by avoiding collision repairs, downtime and increased
insurance premiums.
Forward Collision Warning with Emergency Brake Assist is an
available option and applies partial braking to mitigate the
collision and to increase the driver's time to react to the
impending collision. Available on all ProMaster models, Forward
Collision Warning with Emergency Brake Assist reduces the total
cost of ownership by avoiding collision repairs, downtime, lost
productivity and revenue and reduces liability exposure.
Ambient/Courtesy Lights are available when packaged on all
ProMaster models and enhances lower interior lighting with LEDs for
customers who utilize ProMaster as a mobile office and for
upfitters as well.
The 2021 Ram ProMaster is available in 18 different wheelbase
and roof height configurations and features the 3.6-liter Pentastar
V-6 engine paired with a proven six-speed automatic transmission.
All ProMaster models come with a class-exclusive front-wheel-drive
system.
ProMaster includes best-in-class features like standard V-6
power, turning radius, standard interior cargo height, load-floor
height, cargo width between wheel wells and maximum cargo
width.
2021 Ram ProMaster pricing will be announced closer to when the
vehicle is available later this summer.
Ram ProMaster
The ProMaster is Ram Commercial's entry
for the Class 2 full-size van segment. The 2020 Ram ProMaster
full-size van benefits from an exclusive front-wheel-drive system,
reducing weight and complexity by locating all components beneath
the cab. This keeps the cargo-load-floor height and step-in height
very low, which is a great ergonomic feature for the person getting
in and out of the van all day. It also helps in low-traction
surfaces, like snow, since there is always weight on the front
wheels to provide traction. The result is a purpose-built, highly
customizable van designed to exceed the demands of commercial
customers and upfitters.
