About the 2014 Ram ProMaster 3500 Cargo
1st North American ProMaster generation (Fiat Ducato-based), first U.S. model year
Ram positions the ProMaster as a commercial van built around easy loading, flexible upfitting, and efficient use of cargo space. Its front-wheel-drive layout is the key difference from more traditional rear-drive work vans because it lowers the load floor and opens up more usable room in back. For most buyers, the ProMaster is a purpose-built delivery or service van that prioritizes cargo access, interior height, and simple work-ready packaging over luxury or passenger-focused features.
The 2014 ProMaster 3500 Cargo is a heavy-duty high-roof work van built for deliveries, shelving, tools, or a mobile workshop. The regular-length Tradesman has 459 cubic feet of cargo room, while the longer Tradesman Extended expands that to 530 cubic feet. Both have a 76-inch interior height, a 21-inch load-floor height, and rear doors that open 260 degrees.
