What's New Under the Hood & Inside the Cabin?

Ram took customer feedback to heart for this next-generation model, making it larger, smarter, and considerably more capable than previous iterations.

Hauls a Ton & Tows a Ton

Don't let the compact, agile footprint fool you. The 2027 ProMaster City features a robust maximum payload of 2,175 pounds and a maximum towing capacity of 2,000 pounds. Whether you are loading up heavy equipment or towing a small utility trailer across the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge area into Council Bluffs, this van punches well above its weight class.

Expanded Cargo Space

The cargo hold has grown significantly, offering 167 cubic feet of cargo volume (up from 131.7 in older models).

• Length: 9-foot, 3-inch load floor (111 inches total from front seats to tailgate) makes it incredibly easy to transport long items like lumber, conduit, or piping.
• Width: Boasting 5 feet 4 inches of total cargo width and a class-leading 48.9 inches between the rear wheel wells, you can slide two standard U.S. pallets completely flat, front to back.

Turbocharged Efficiency & Traction

Power comes from a transversely mounted 1.6-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine pushing out 166 horsepower and a stout 221 lb-ft of torque, mated to a smooth 8-speed automatic transmission. Its front-wheel-drive setup maximizes interior floor flatness and gives you a major advantage during slick, unpredictable Nebraska and Iowa winters.

Sized to Slip In Anywhere

At just under 77 inches tall, this is the only Class 2 commercial van under the 80-inch threshold. That means you can confidently slip into standard downtown Omaha parking garages, low-clearance residential carports, and tight commercial loading zones without biting your fingernails. Combined with a tight 42-foot turning diameter, maneuvering through busy job sites is completely stress-free.

Tech & Safety Built for Modern Drivers

Inside, the cabin looks less like a stripped-down work truck and more like a high-tech mobile office. It features a standard 10-inch center touchscreen running Uconnect with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 10-inch digital instrument cluster, and an incredibly helpful Digital Dual View Rearview Mirror — a lifesaver when your rear windows are blocked by heavy cargo or solid security panels.

Standard driver-assist features like Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking and Drowsy Driver Detection keep your crew safe whether they're driving down Dodge Street at rush hour or making late-night deliveries along rural routes in Pottawattamie or Sarpy County.

Ideal Local Use Cases: Who is this Van For?

The 2027 Ram ProMaster City is available in work-ready Tradesman and upgraded SLT trims, with options for standard 180° rear swing doors or a convenient rear liftgate. It can be configured as a 2-seat Cargo Van or a Passenger Wagon seating up to 5 or 8 people. This flexibility opens up incredible solutions for local industries:

1. Mobile Locksmiths, Electricians, & HVAC Techs — If you are an independent contractor serving communities from Bellevue up to Blair, you need an organized rolling workshop. The flat, squared-off "tumblehome" interior walls mean aftermarket shelving, bin systems, and tool racks sit perfectly flush against the sides, giving you maximum floor space for day-to-day operations.
2. Last-Mile Delivery & Catering Outfits — For local florists, bakeries, or courier services navigating dense urban areas like Midtown Omaha or the Dundee neighborhood, a massive full-size van is complete overkill. The ProMaster City's low 23.2-inch load floor height and massive 36-inch wide sliding side door mean loading heavy catering trays or packages is incredibly easy on the lower back.
3. Corporate Shuttles & Hospitality — Configured as a passenger wagon, the ProMaster City becomes the ultimate cost-efficient shuttle vehicle. It's ideal for local boutique hotels, airport parking services near Eppley Airfield, or regional non-profits needing to comfortably transport small groups across Eastern Nebraska and Western Iowa without the hefty fuel bill of a full-size passenger transport.
