2020 Ram ProMaster Window Van Review

Short of getting a commercial driver's license and buying a bus, full-size vans are the best way to transport more than eight people. The 2020 Ram ProMaster Window Van certainly has the space, but there's a rather significant catch: It doesn't come with passenger seats. No, Ram doesn't expect your passengers to sit on a bare metal floor. Instead, you have the opportunity to configure the interior to your particular needs through third-party upfitters. In essence, it's the same as the bare-bones ProMaster Cargo Van with windows.

Starting from scratch certainly has its advantages for customization, and the ProMaster's blank canvas interior gives you nearly limitless options. The space is huge, especially if you opt for the longer 3500 model. And the front-wheel-drive layout provides a lower floor for easier passenger and cargo loading. It also benefits from a small turning radius for easier maneuverability and a respectable tow rating of 6,800 pounds. On the downside, the ride quality can be rough, and some drivers may find their seating position lacking in adjustability.

If you need a turnkey full-size passenger van, the 2020 Ram ProMaster Window isn't for you. Otherwise, the ProMaster should work out well for a variety of commercial uses.

The 2020 Ram ProMaster Window Van comes in 2500 and 3500 versions in place of typical trim levels. Both have a 159-inch wheelbase and a high roof, which allows adults to stand up inside the van. But the 3500 version has an extended-length body. Only front seats are provided since Ram expects owners to outfit the van to suit their needs. Options and engine choices are available equally on both the 2500 and the 3500.
