Ram ProMaster Vs Ford Transit
This is a competitive comparison of the Ram ProMaster and Ford Transit Class 2 Cargo Vans. The Ram ProMaster Wheel Drive provides many advantages such as lower load floor, ample cargo capacity, and tight turning radius. These work vans are great for many trades including everything from plumbers and electricians to general contractors. The Ram ProMaster competes in the Class 2 Van Segment with not only the Ford Transit, but also the Chevy Express Van, the Nissan NV, and the Mercedes Sprinter. Standard Bluetooth as well as Back Up Camera help keep drivers safer when they are out on the road. With Fall Commercial Truck and Van Season Coming no better time to consider an additional Work Van or Vans for your Company. This Comparison dives into every day examples of differences between the ProMaster and Transit. Of course both vans have lots of upfit options from shelving to ladder racks.

    I used to work as driver and had the chance of drive both and my conclusion is that the Transit is superior in almost every way but in winter snowy time where the Promaster has no problem at all going everywhere even in slipery roads.

    They are both unreliable vehicles. This motor and trans is the same as the mini van. Ram is under powered and has a trans problem. They are also terrible off pavement. The transit has torque converter, motor, trans, and sensor problems. GM makes the best tower and power train, but no high roof. The oil consumption issue is a minefield. Maybe a GM van with an after market high roof or cut away box is the answer, before they try to be an unreliable sprinter too. I have been a ram driver my whole adult life and I’m 60. My ram 1500 4x4 had it’s transmission replace under extended warranty, at 100,000 miles. It is having an intermittent shift problem again at 132,000 miles. They can not get it to do it, in a five minute drive, so they can’t / won’t fix it. Hemi’s are another issue. I had the exhaust manifold clicking fixed a couple times. I am happy I haven’t had the lifter roller pin problem yet. A lot of my friends did have that issue. I can not buy another tow vehicle because prices are now through the roof, and all three car companies are selling unreliability. So I am driving on borrowed time. All the diesels have the garbage DEV systems: also unreliable. The new hundred gears transmission are also not reliable. A guess a used is the answer.

I lost tons of money and time. I called Chrysler customer number , they were no help dealer was rude... Never again . I hope you never sell a truck again and get what you have coming .....!!!

    This guy is what my grandfather used to call a Flim Flam artist. Pushing a crap product like it's a superior item is kinda disgusting. Not saying the Ford is a great van, but it will surely outlive the Ram. Also, as someone who drives on jobsites, none of these euro vans is ideal. RWD is superior in every situation save snow and it really only snows a few times every year. It's a silly argument and FWD was sold to the consumer purely for weight savings.

    you can talk good all day about it but does it last and dont give people problem thats key.

I just asking myself what the hell is going on with that kind of design movement? why?
