2019 Ram Promaster
Recall and complaint safety record from NHTSA. This configuration has not been crash-tested.
CRASH
DATANot crash-tested
The Ram ProMaster is a front-wheel-drive full-size cargo van aimed squarely at commercial fleet operators, tradespeople, and last-mile delivery services. Built on a Fiat Ducato platform, it competes in a segment where cargo capacity and low load floor height often take priority over passenger-car refinement. For buyers who move goods for a living, the ProMaster is a serious workhorse contender.
The 2019 Ram Promaster has not been crash-tested by NHTSA, so it carries no Safety Index. Its safety record here is built from 9 recalls and 56 owner complaints on file, giving it a moderate recall and complaint burden.

Reviewers generally find the ProMaster appealing for its low load floor, generous cargo volume, and front-wheel-drive layout that aids urban maneuverability. Most acknowledge the cabin materials and overall refinement fall short of some competitors, and driving dynamics are workmanlike rather than polished. Value for commercial use is frequently cited as a strength, though interior comfort for drivers on long routes draws mixed reactions.
