Here’s what you need to know:
- Ram’s new 2027 ProMaster City enters the market as the only U.S. mid-size commercial van; orders open late 2026 with a Q1 2027 arrival.
- The van features 167+ cubic ft. of cargo space, a 2,000 lb. payload capacity, and a 111-in., load floor.
- The van is powered by a 1.6L turbocharged engine delivering 166 hp and 221 lb.-ft. of torque through an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Ram released its all-new 2027 Ram ProMaster City commercial van Wednesday at the Work Truck Show in Indianapolis.
Ram says the new upfit ready van is purpose-built to serve a wide range of industries, featuring more than 167 cubic ft., of usable cargo space, enhanced safety features and greater overall versatility. A Class 2 unit in a mid-size footprint, Ram says the all-new ProMaster City also maintains the maneuverable, approachable and garage-friendly proportions that fleet operators depend on in dense urban environments.
“When the new ProMaster City arrives at dealerships early next year, it will be the only mid-size commercial van on sale in the U.S.,” says Tim Kuniskis, head of North American Brands, SRT Performance Division, Retail Marketing. “Despite our unique market position, Ram Professional isn’t coasting; we’re raising the competitive bar and delivering on small business expectations.”
Available in Tradesman and SLT trims, and in Cargo Van or Passenger Wagon configuration with seating for five or eight, the 2027 ProMaster City arrives in the first quarter of 2027 at a targeted starting price under $40,000, the lowest cost of acquisition in the commercial van segment, Ram says.

The 2027 Ram ProMaster City returns to Ram Professional’s lineup alongside the Ram 1500, Ram 2500/3500 Heavy Duty, Ram 3500/4500/5500 Chassis Cab and the Ram ProMaster van.
Ram states the ProMaster City features front-wheel-drive, unibody architecture that provides several benefits, including greater torsional rigidity, lower curb weight and reduced parts complexity. The ProMaster City’s underpinnings also give it a higher payload capacity with a flat, low and large cargo floor.
The van also offers over 167 cubic ft., of cargo capacity with a long 111-in., load floor, or over 9 ft. Those specs allow the new ProMaster City to easily swallow common construction materials like sheetrock, 4-by-8-foot plywood and framing lumber with room to spare, the company says, and the load floor features a low rear step-in height just over 23 in., for easy entry and exit, along with over 48 in., between the rear wheel wells, or enough room to fit a standard U.S. pallet. Front to back, the ProMaster City can carry two.
The van has more than 2,000 lb., of payload capacity and a targeted 2,000 lb., of towing capability with the optional Class 3 trailer hitch with a 2-in., receiver.
Ram adds van is the only Class 2 van with an optional rear liftgate, with fixed glass, defrost and wiper. The liftgate expands the ProMaster City’s utility for a wider range of businesses — whether operators need a semi-covered workspace with the liftgate open or quick, one-step cargo access with the benefit of improved rear visibility.
Up front, a proven, durable MacPherson strut setup provides a compact design that maximizes space. And despite its front-wheel-drive architecture and 129-in., wheelbase, the new ProMaster City offers a tight turning diameter just over 42 ft.
The 2027 ProMaster City sources power from a transversely mounted turbocharged 1.6-liter inline-4 engine connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Balancing efficiency and power, the all-aluminum, boosted four-cylinder produces 166 horsepower and a stout 221 lb.-ft. of torque.
Finally, the 2027 Ram ProMaster City offers six window and panel combinations. Paired with the two rear-access options, customers can select from 11 distinct configurations:
- Tradesman/SLT Cargo with security panels
- Tradesman/SLT Cargo with side security panels and rear window(s)
- Tradesman/SLT Cargo with fixed glass, grated passenger side door window, security panels and rear window(s)
- Tradesman/SLT Cargo with fixed glass, grated side windows, rear quarter security panels and rear window(s)
- Tradesman/SLT Cargo with fixed glass grated side windows, fixed glass rear quarter windows and rear window(s)
- Tradesman/SLT Passenger with fixed glass side windows and fixed glass rear quarter windows with rear window(s)
All variants, except full security panels, can be optioned with a rear liftgate.
Orders for the new 2027 Ram ProMaster City open in the second half of 2026. Production will start in 2026, with vehicles arriving at dealers in the first quarter of 2027. The 2027 Ram ProMaster City will be assembled at the TOFAS plant in Bursa, Turkey. Additional upfitting is performed at FCA US LLC’s Baltimore transformation center.
