Do you guys think the ProMaster is an attractive looking car, or do you feel it lacks something? How do you think it ranks against other commercial vans? Would it win any beauty pageants?
I agree the ProMaster isn't the most stylish looking van. Aside from the Express, it's probably the most utilitarian looking out of all. But this is a commercial van and its intention is for work.
Not that the exterior aesthetics would be a huge concern compared to what purpose the van actually serves. But if only dodge would just painted the black plastic panels and the front and rear bumper of the Promaster to match the rest of the body that would be sufficient for looks. I thin the best looking one of the bunch is the ford transit.
The Ford Transit has changed drastically over the years. It is the most stylish van I've ever seen. It would be great to use as an advertising van. It would get a lot of attention.
I'll admit that the Dodge Promaster isn't the best looking in the bunch. I think the Ford transit looks too much like a refrigerator but a nice one. Other the the actual purpose I don't car too much for the exterior. I won't be the one looking at it. But if it were to used for specific companies and they need more of an up to date and modern look the Transit would work.
Honestly, These are some hideous looking vehicles. I don't see no beauty in these but if I had to stick with one it would be the Ford transit But I have my doubts in Ford and don't trust them one bit. That is why I have stuck with the Dodge promaster instead. If only Promaster had chrome trims like the Fiat Ducato.
I don't know why you put a picture of the passenger version of the Mercedes Sprinter, of course it would look better, it's a passenger vehicle, not a commercial vehicle.
Regular Mercedes Benz Sprinters don't look that look, but still better than a Ram ProMaster.
The RamPromaster is on the ugly side, I wish the front bumper was painted.
If your paying a decent amount of money for a brand new vehicle i would say the look is just as important as the function of it. But the Ford transit does have the most modern look on the exterior. But the black plastic bumpers on these vans just make it look too commercial.
Has anyone put any larger tool chests in their van? How was it with rattling and making noise? I'm considering placing a larger tool chest in my van, like in the link below, but im concerned about hearing the metal and slides rattling. Anyone have experience with this...
I used a drivers side armrest.disassembled to reverse arm on mount pretty simple,hardest part was punching out stop and reinstalling it.mounted the armrest to a piece of flat stock (painted satin black) and mounted to seat frame right behind nut :) happy wife now before baja trip:)
I will need some sort of mount for a heavy duty winch as well as a winch.
Has anyone done this? I have searched the archives to no avail.
I have a section of road to my farm that looks like this. The Promaster can do it by itself, but bogs down when pulling a trailer.
Please advise.
Good Day,
The 3500 Hi Ext Promaster remains on my list, but I would appreciate any real world feedback on towing. I expect my RV build and belongings (including tongue weight) will approximate 3,500#, putting me at around 8,500# gvw - below the 9,350#gvwr.
I will periodically tow an enclosed...
Having not traveled the byways and highways of the USA I was wondering how difficult it is having my 30# propane tank filled rather than an "exchange". I purchased a $70 tank and do not want to exchange for possibly a tank that may not be up to "standards". thanking you in advance!
