2022 Ram ProMaster: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 13, 2026
The biggest change for the 2022 Ram ProMaster is a new nine-speed automatic paired with its updated 3.6-liter V6. This is a major update rather than a full redesign, with newer cabin technology and a much broader set of standard safety features.
About the 2022 Ram ProMaster
1st U.S.-market ProMaster generation (2014-2022), heavily updated final year before the 2023 front-end refresh.
Ram positions the ProMaster as a purpose-built full-size work van for delivery fleets, tradespeople and conversion/upfit use. Its core appeal is simple: a front-wheel-drive layout for a low load floor, a wide cargo area that fits work gear easily, a tight turning circle for city use, and a body designed to accept shelving, partitions and other business upfits. Compared with rear-drive rivals, the ProMaster leans harder into easy loading, maneuverability and cargo-space efficiency.
The short-wheelbase 1500 Low Roof emphasizes maneuverability, while the high-roof 2500 models add standing room and the 3500 High Roof Extended provides the most cargo length. Every version has front-wheel drive, a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 3.5-inch driver display.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
A nine-speed automatic replaces the previous six-speed across the lineup and is paired with the updated 3.6-liter V6. Electric power steering and an electric parking brake also replace the previous setups. The maximum tow rating rises from 5,100 to 6,900 pounds on most configurations, while some high-roof versions span 5,100 to 6,900 pounds.
Safety
Forward collision warning with automatic braking for pedestrians and cyclists becomes standard, along with drowsy-driver detection, traffic sign recognition and post-collision braking.
Tech
The newer Uconnect 5 touchscreen system arrives with a standard 7-inch display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A 3.5-inch driver display, new connected-services hardware, push-button start and keyless entry for every door also become standard. Satellite radio becomes standard on several configurations.
