2020 Ram ProMaster City

History/Overview

The Ram Promaster City is this truck brand’s compact commercial van. Ram introduced it in North America in 2015 in response to the growing popularity of small work vans. The Promaster City is based on a Fiat model called the Doblo that’s available in other markets.

There are no changes to the Promaster City for 2020.
