2022 Ram ProMaster City: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2022 Ram ProMaster City is a simpler two-model lineup: the SLT and Tradesman SLT Cargo trims were dropped. The remaining Cargo Van and Wagon also gained several standard safety and convenience features, while the engine and front-wheel-drive layout carried over.
About the 2022 Ram ProMaster City
1st generation (2015-2022), final year
Ram positions the ProMaster City as a compact van built for tight streets, easy loading, and practical work use without the bulk of a full-size van. Its core appeal is van utility in a city-friendly footprint, helped by front-wheel drive, dual sliding doors, a low load floor, and useful interior flexibility. The Cargo model focuses on tools and deliveries, while the Wagon adapts the same basic layout for five-passenger use with room for gear.
The 2022 Tradesman Cargo is the work-focused model, with 131.7 cubic feet of cargo space, dual sliding doors, and rear doors that open 180 degrees. The five-seat Wagon adds a folding rear bench for passenger duty while retaining the van’s sliding side doors. Both use a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, rear parking sensors, and a 5-inch touchscreen.
