It might be worth noting that this is the Iveco / Fiat Commercial diesel that you would find in the Mitsubishi Fuso class 3,4 and 5 cabover commercial trucks in the US. It is a real workhorse. There is a lot of freight moving around the world behind that engine. I'm still not sure about this automated manual transmission, but they are starting to make their way into the commercial courier market so if they end up being a horror story it won't be a secret for long.
You guys are lucky, all this torque and horse power even in your low end commercial vehicles like this never mind things like the 7.3 Ford and 6.9 Cummins etc over here in the UK we get things like my LDV Maxus van with a 4 cyl 2.5litre Turbo Diesel with 95bhp! and that's a 3500kg van fully loaded! Even worse I used to drive a Vauxhall Movano(basically a French Renault) with a 2.5litre naturally aspirated diesel engine with just 80bhp!
"Compact!!" That would truly be awesome bro. What do ya think about the Chevy Colorado diesel..? I think they left a lot to be desired. Its bloated, ground clearance is too low, and has electric power steering module located on the belly. Not cool!
Unfortunately, I think the only way we're gonna get compact diesel pickups for $25k is to either hop in a time machine or move to Venezuela. Neither one of those options are viable for me man!! :-/
All dual-clutch transmissions are automated manuals, but not all automated manuals are dual clutches. same concept as all toads are frogs, but not all frogs are toads...or all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are square.
With gas so cheap now, and diesel not too far from it, the payback on the enormous premium for the diesel is a long, long time and many miles down the road. If gas were way up there like not too long ago - certainly a different argument. But the gas version's the way to go economically unless towing's a requirement.
Unloaded, that thing will get 28mpg diesel. I own 2 gas promasters, 22mpg under ideal conditions, down to 19 in winter. Diesel is 60 cents more expensive right now, and that engine costs 4000-5000 extra. Run the numbers, and the gasser is a much better option. More importantly, when it comes time for repairs, any boob that can work on a minivan can work on the gasser, but you are married not only to the dealer for the diesel, but married to the Ram Commercial franchise dealer, of which there's rarely more than 1 per city. Not only that, but just because the sign says that dealer is trained to work on this oddball engine, doesn't mean they know a damn thing about it. On the gasser, your parts will be coming from Autozone, on the diesel your parts will be coming from Turkey. I have 226k on one of my vans, 200k on the other. I've had some problems, but they mostly have been rock solid.
This is considered a commercial vehicle under EPA regulations so it doesn't fall under the CAFE rules and therefore does not receive an official EPA fuel rating. The same is true whether gasoline or diesel powered.
We routinely haul 3,000 lbs of more of cargo in ours and it has no problem with it. The 3.0 Fiat Commercial engine powers it much better than I expected. I do wish they offered a different transmission with it in the US though. The automated manual is not so great.
Yeah,but its a industrial style transmission to work with the torque of the diesel. Diesel torque will ruin standard automatics. They don't like the torque.
I have heard driving this thing is scary as hell. Especially when trying to pass or if u pull out in front of somebody. It changes gears like your grandma
I drive one for work in the UK with a Manual but it is the 2.0 HDI 130HP 320nm engine Considering it's power it's surprisinly fast 112mph flatout and constant 30mpg cruising at 90mph
Seriously!? 42 000USD for the 3 liter Diesel!? That´s insane! Even the base price of 30 000USD is much! Are they plated with gold or something? In Norway, a country known for expensive cars, the RAV4 has the same base price in Norway as the Sequoia has in USA. BUT! Over here the RAM is called Peugeot Boxer. We can buy it as a Fiat and a Citroen aswell, but most of them are Peugeots. The base price for the same engine version of this is 42000USD over here. (Not included Mva. Companies don´t pay Mva.) I know this is base price, but that is with high roof and second from longest body. The bottom of the range, low roof and short body cost 31 200USD(Still no Mva, also 2.2 Diesel). How come they are so expensive over there? For the 3.0 we pay like 12 000USD in taxes. Still it´s just pennies more than what you pay. I´ve always been told there are no taxes on cars in the US. is this not true after all?
Too bad no one makes a 4×4 Cargo van :( construction sites are sometimes loaded with mud and snow I know the Mercedes Benz Sprinter is available but I don't have that kind of money
+AMGV Media I will never get why pickups are preffered over vans in US: You can't really carry much stuff around in a pickup out in the elements, they have small beds compared to the footprints, adding a top creates quite small cargo area that is rarely sealed from outside. They are good for towing or off-roading though, something rarely seen in a van and modern pickups received car-like interiors. Is it all about the looks of the pickup?
mibars there are caps that you can put on a pickup, and some pickups come with 8 foot beds on them. that and they are 4 wheel drive, have V8 options, tow more and the engine isn't tucked so far back as they are in a van, so things aren't as hard to get to
Those "caps" is what I was referring to as "tops" and I haven't seen one in which one can easily stand or have a usable side door. 8 foot is usually the longest option in a pickup. Just about the shortest one you can get in a van, while van is shorter overall
AMGV Media A V8 is going to kill your fuel economy, and you dont need 4wd in what is essentially a delivery van. The promaster has it as an option though, and its pentastar V6 nearly makes 300 horsepower, which is more than enough power. And as mibars said, you can have a longer cargo space than offered for a pickup, for a shorter overall van.
The transmission drops down in RPM with the shifts to make use of the power band in the diesel engine. Diesel power is all in the lower RPMS. This guy was driving it like a gas vehicle. He doesn't understand diesel power.
Jason Carpp "Eco" is used often in describing diesel because Diesel engines are much more efficient than gasoline engines and therefore produce far less Co2 whilst requiring less oil to be used to fuel the vehicle. Less oil needed so better for the environment hence "Eco"
How is that possible? To be fuel efficient and better for the environment? I like to breathe clean air as much as anyone, but I was told when I was growing up that gasoline burns cleaner than diesel, and therefore, is better for the environment.
Jason Carpp The laws of thermodynamics show that Diesel engines are far more efficient than gasoline engines, it is the reason diesels were originally developed. As others have posted about this video this van will give you about 28 mpg compared to its gasoline equivalent only giving you about 22 mpg which is a 27% improvement. Gasoline engines produce far more of the deadly gas CO, carbon monoxide than diesel and produce very small particulates which it is believed can cross into your bloodstream unlike the larger soot particulates produced by pre DEF fitted diesels. Diesels are far from perfect but given their lower use of fossil fuels must be better overall for the environment than gasoline.Here in the UK there is no such thing as a gasoline, petrol, engined commercial vehicle on sale, everyone uses diesel. Currently about half of all car sales are diesel engined in the UK.
I do not recommend purchasing a ProMaster from Dodge. The ProMaster breaks down often mainly with transmission or hydraulic cooling unit issues. We have had two of these for our company and they both have literally been in and out of repair for a complete here now. We have one sitting at a Dodge dealer under warranty for 3 months and they still cannot get the parts for the hydraulic cooling unit. Bad deal. You deserve a class action lawsuit over this one.

+davide30541 The ProMaster is built in Mexico. The gasoline V6 and its mating 6 speed automatic are made in the US, while the 3.0 diesel with the robotic 6 speed is a Fiat Commercial/Iveco powertrain that comes from Italy.
It's one of the best diesels and it's used since years on the Mitsubishi Fuso and Canter, Iveco Daily and on some Mercedes trucks. Not new in the States.
Christ, $5,145 for a stupid 4 cylinder diesel!! Seriously, people need to get over this Euro diesel fad and realize how wheezy and ridiculously overpriced they are.
+Mike Zeke The Econoline is a dinosaur, it's heavier, RWD, and it's powered by a much larger engine. Of course you'll see better mileage, but that's not an apples to apples comparison. If your company had a Pentastar and an EcoDiesel in your fleet, that would be a fair comparison.

Any upcoming 4x4 vans that can tow a 10000lbs trailer? Thx
Do this van in the Ike Gauntlet at max tow capacity. Thanks!
You guys are lucky, all this torque and horse power even in your low end commercial vehicles like this never mind things like the 7.3 Ford and 6.9 Cummins etc over here in the UK we get things like my LDV Maxus van with a 4 cyl 2.5litre Turbo Diesel with 95bhp! and that's a 3500kg van fully loaded!

You should do a tow test with a Chevy Express 3500 with the Duramax.
maybe tank abrams it better
You guys need to do a video of towing and drag racing a GMC SAVANA/EXPRESS 3500, FORD E350, AND A NISSAN NV3500

+Night Fury Venezuela is lucky to be able to import enough toilet paper these days.
And here I am sitting on allll this toilet paper and all I want is a Toyota Hilux or a diesel Cruiser lol
Can you tow a car with the pro master?
you should be able to lower the seat. .. it adjusts up and down a lot. the only problem I have is the a-pillar can block the view sometimes.
I know the diesel promaster's at least the one I saw did not have a parking gear you had to use the emergency brake
if that transmission is a ZF-one, its allright, if it is Magnetti-Marelli, run...run...run for your life away
can you guys do an mpg test of the tacoma, super duty, and colorado?
Awesome video!
You need to get ahold of one and do and MPG test on both the diesel and the gasser
What was the mileage on that data sheet with the price?
Anyone else notice the 6k-7k redline?!? 3:19
All dual-clutch transmissions are automated manuals, but not all automated manuals are dual clutches. same concept as all toads are frogs, but not all frogs are toads...or all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are square.
Toad is appropriate!
Wonder why they didn't use the 4BT?
I would like to see a comparison between this and the new Sprinter/Metris
you like this over the metris?
metris using premium gas
With gas so cheap now, and diesel not too far from it, the payback on the enormous premium for the diesel is a long, long time and many miles down the road. If gas were way up there like not too long ago - certainly a different argument. But the gas version's the way to go economically unless towing's a requirement.
What was your average Mpg during the test?
+Andreas Modl We only drive the van about 10 miles at various speeds, so we could not get any kind of accurate MPG readings.
+The Fast Lane Truck you guy are using final cut pro ......
I average 19-21 with a heavy load of tools and materials in beltway rush hour traffic. I have 15, full height, full length.
Italian engine and transmission here
these are great but I did a video on some annoying quirks about it. It definitely has a few. I didn't even list all of them
Are the parts fiat>>????? from Italy? or parts from Mexico or the USA?
So diesel engines don't need EPA figures? Kind of hard to know if the price premium is worth it with no data available. Thanks Truck Lobby!
