$39,995. That’s what Ram wants for the base 2027 Ram ProMaster City — the Tradesman Cargo. No commercial van sold in America right now starts cheaper. Four versions available. Two body styles. Two trims. Q1 2027 for deliveries. Turkey for production.
Four versions total. Tradesman Cargo at $39,995. SLT Cargo at $41,495. Tradesman Passenger Wagon at $42,695. SLT Passenger Wagon at $44,195.
Standard Kit and What SLT Adds
Heated front seats on every single version. 10-inch touchscreen with navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. 5-inch digital rearview mirror. 10-inch digital gauge cluster. Automatic windows. Tilt-and-telescoping steering column. All of that on the cheapest $39,995 Tradesman — no upgrades required.
The difference between Tradesman and SLT is $1,500 and a list that reads: heated steering wheel, wireless charger, front parking sensors, fog lamps, 17-inch alloys, painted bumpers. Nothing under the hood changes.
Bigger Than the Old One — By a Lot
Previous ProMaster City: based on the Fiat Doblò. Small. The 2027 Ram ProMaster City sits on the Citroën Jumpy platform instead — same van sold as the Fiat Scudo and several other names across European markets.
210 inches long. 76.7 inches tall. 75.7 inches wide. Nearly two feet longer than the outgoing model. That extra length shows up where it matters — 167 cubic feet of cargo space in the back. Closer to Chevrolet Express territory in size. Still noticeably smaller than a full-size van but not the compact runabout the previous generation was.
Engine and Capability
1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. 166 horsepower. 221 pound-feet of torque. Eight-speed automatic. Front-wheel drive only.
Towing: 2,000 pounds. Payload: 2,000 pounds. A Ford Transit goes up to 6,900 pounds towing and 5,103 pounds payload — the 2027 Ram ProMaster City isn’t competing with that. It’s competing for the business owner who finds a Transit too large, too expensive and too awkward to drive around a city. For that buyer 2,000 pounds of capacity covers most real daily needs without the full-size van headaches.
Why This Van Exists Now
Compact vans disappeared from America. Transit Connect gone. Old ProMaster City gone. The segment sat empty while full-size van prices kept climbing and small business owners had no obvious middle option between a large SUV and a Transit.
Stellantis looked at that empty space and built something to fill it. Citroën Jumpy platform — already proven across European markets where mid-size commercial vans sell in serious numbers. Production in Bursa, Turkey. American deliveries Q1 2027. Starting price just under $40,000.
