2014 Ram C/V: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The main change for the 2014 Ram C/V is a new standard wheel-and-brake setup, with 17-inch steel wheels and larger front and rear brake rotors. Otherwise, this is a light update that carries over the same V6, automatic transmission and two-seat cargo-van layout.
About the 2014 Ram C/V
Grand Caravan-based Ram C/V generation (2012-2015 Ram commercial cargo-van run); 2014 is the third Ram-badged year and the second-to-last model year.
Ram positions the C/V as a right-sized business van for deliveries, service work, and mobile-shop duty. The appeal is straightforward: more city-friendly dimensions than a full-size van, but more power and work capability than smaller compact vans. OEM marketing centers on cargo usefulness, payload, towing, and long driving range, while the minivan-based layout adds easy access through dual sliding doors and a cab that is more comfortable than a stripped-out cargo hauler.
Ram positioned the 2014 C/V Tradesman as a compact work and delivery van for businesses that did not need a full-size van. Its practical features include a flat aluminum cargo floor with anti-slide strips, dual sliding side doors, solid cargo-area panels and heavy-duty cooling for commercial use.
