The biggest difference between the 2014 Ram ProMaster and it's competition is that it's front-wheel-drive, meanwhile competitiors like the Ford Transit, Nissan NV and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter are rear-wheel-drive.

This is a bit unusual being a heavy duty commercial cargo van. There are some obvious pro's and con's of having a front-wheel-drive drivetrain, but what would you prefer to have, front-wheel-drive (FWD), rear-wheel-drive (RWD) or all-wheel-drive (AWD)?

Dodge actually put some thought in for us contractors since we need as much space in the rear as we can get. The front wheel drive if you think of will be less pain in the ass when you have to service after a good amount of time for repairs. Less mechanical parts like the propeller shaft and rear differential.
