2018 RAM ProMaster City Tradesman

2018 Ram ProMaster City Tradesman Cargo Van 4D – The Professional’s Choice for Urban Efficiency
The 2018 Ram ProMaster City Tradesman is the ultimate tool for small business owners and fleet operators who need a compact powerhouse for the urban jungle. Designed to navigate tight city streets and low-clearance parking garages while providing a class-leading payload, this van is the perfect balance of maneuverability and massive utility. It is built to be a mobile workshop that works as hard as you do.
Under the hood, the ProMaster City features a punchy 2.4-liter Tigershark MultiAir 2 engine, delivering a class-leading 178 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with a sophisticated 9-speed automatic transmission—a rarity in the commercial segment—which ensures that the engine stays in the optimal power band for both quick city acceleration and efficient highway cruising.
The driving experience is focused on agility and ease of use. Unlike larger, bulkier cargo vans, the ProMaster City is built on a car-based platform, giving it a nimble 'darty' feel in traffic. The heavy-duty suspension is designed to handle a class-leading payload of up to 1,885 lbs, while the front-wheel-drive layout provides excellent traction and a lower load floor for easier boarding and exiting.
On the exterior, the Tradesman Cargo Van is a masterclass in functional design. It features 60/40 split rear doors that open up to 180 degrees, allowing for easy forklift loading. The dual sliding side doors provide unparalleled access to your tools and inventory from either side of the vehicle. Its sleek, aerodynamic front end doesn't just look professional—it helps reduce wind noise and improve fuel efficiency.
Inside, the cabin is a durable and ergonomic workspace designed for long days on the road, offering:
Nearly vertical side walls to maximize upfitting and shelving options
Heavy-duty vinyl flooring for easy cleaning after a messy job
5-inch Uconnect® touchscreen with Bluetooth connectivity
Ample overhead storage bins and a spacious glovebox
Practicality is where this van truly dominates the competition. It offers a massive 131.7 cubic feet of cargo volume, with a width between the wheel wells of 48.4 inches—wide enough to fit a standard pallet. The low step-in height (only 21.5 inches) reduces driver fatigue, making those days with 50+ stops much more manageable.
Fuel economy is a standout for a commercial vehicle, averaging an impressive 21 MPG city / 28 MPG highway. This efficiency allows small businesses to keep their overhead low, spending less time at the pump and more time on the job site.
Safety is built into the frame, featuring a reinforced body and seven standard airbags. The 2018 model comes standard with a ParkView® Rear Back-Up Camera, which is essential for safely navigating crowded loading docks or tight alleys, while Electronic Stability Control and Hill Start Assist help keep the van composed under heavy loads.
The 2018 Ram ProMaster City Tradesman Cargo Van is the smart choice for the professional who needs a reliable, high-capacity partner. It is the ideal vehicle for those who want to maximize their productivity without the bulk and fuel costs of a full-size van.
Compact. Capable. Built for Business. ??
