2021 Ram ProMaster City: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2021 Ram ProMaster City is essentially a carryover from 2020. Its only reported updates are minor option changes: fog lamps joined the options list, and the Tradesman Cargo gained an aluminum-wheel option.
About the 2021 Ram ProMaster City
First North American ProMaster City generation (2015-2022), late-cycle 2021 model year.
Ram positions the ProMaster City as a right-sized van for businesses and households that need big utility without stepping up to a full-size commercial van. Its core appeal is simple: compact exterior size for city driving, front-wheel-drive packaging that frees up interior space, strong payload for its footprint, and a boxy cargo area that works for tools, deliveries, or people. The Wagon adds passenger flexibility, but the model’s main identity is still a practical, work-first van with urban-friendly manners.
The 2021 lineup splits between a two-seat work van with a 131.7-cubic-foot cargo area and a five-seat Wagon for carrying passengers. SLT versions add a more finished cabin with upgraded front seats, heated power mirrors, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel, while every version has a 5-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth.

“Get the spare tire and trailer hitch from the factory. Always keep an eye on the oil.”
“The sound system needs to be upgraded, especially when using the vehicle for transporting. The locking system is only controlled from the drivers side door which is slightly annoying. There are a lot of blind spots on the vehicle. It would be nice to have blind spot sensors on the rear view mirrors.”
