New for 2023 on Ram ProMaster is the segment exclusive rear roll-up door to satisfy the cargo loading and unloading required for vocational and delivery customers alike. The roll-up door is constructed with anodized aluminum for weight optimization and durability to meet high duty cycles.

The new 2023 Ram ProMaster features the next-generation 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine and is paired to a segment-exclusive TorqueFlite nine-speed automatic transmission. This combination produces 276 horsepower and 250 lb.-ft. of torque. All ProMaster models come with a class-exclusive, front-wheel-drive system.

Amazon will be the first commercial customer for Stellantis’ new Ram ProMaster battery-electric vehicle (BEV), launching in 2023. Stellantis, with input from Amazon, designed the vehicle with unique last-mile delivery features. Amazon will deploy the vehicles to routes across the United States. Building on the current relationship and as part of the long-term agreement, Stellantis and Amazon will be putting thousands of BEV ProMasters on the road every year.

Modern take on industrial-strength exterior design
The latest step in the new 2023 Ram ProMaster’s evolution is an updated exterior design aesthetic that is ready for the daily grind of commercial work.

A front-end design features standard halogen or available LED headlights and fog lights with improved designs and durability. The standard halogen headlights provide 29% more Lumens (15% more range) versus the previous light while the available LED headlights offer 70% more Lumens (50% more range). The three-piece front fascia was thoughtfully constructed with the headlights positioned out of the low speed collision zone. A modular bumper with integrated step to assist in changing wiper blades and cleaning the windshield is also standard.

For 2023, a new, available, super high roof configuration on the 13-foot cargo van adds 10 inches of headroom when compared to the next configuration and best-in-class cargo volume and cargo height. A roll-up door is also available on the back of the vehicle and enables easier parcel handling for those whose job focuses on final mile delivery.

Other exterior enhancements for 2023 include an optional Black Appearance Package that features a black grille, badges and alloy wheels, providing an understated appearance for commercial customers. A new black machined face or a silver wheel are also available. Additionally, two new exterior colors join the lineup for 2023: Ceramic Gray and Spitfire Orange.

ProMaster’s interior was designed with amplified comfort and convenience in mind and boasts a push-button starter, keyless entry for all doors and a steering wheel with significant electronic system control capability. A standard 7-inch touchscreen display or an available 10-inch touchscreen is the centerpiece of ProMaster’s updated interior.

Most upfitter-friendly brand in the truck market
Ram Commercial is well known for being the most upfitter-friendly brand on the truck market.

Adding to the new ProMaster’s design for adaptability, virtually all primary vehicle systems are packaged forward of the cargo area.

The new 2023 Ram ProMaster can be upfitted for virtually every conceivable commercial need because of a unique front-drive system, body-integral construction and the multiple configurations offered. The most vertically oriented sidewalls in the cargo van category (nearly 90 degrees in relation to the cargo compartment floor) combined with a best-in-class cargo width of 75.6 inches culminate over 500 cubic feet of cargo space.

Available partitions also offer passengers excellent protection against the possibility of load shift in the cabin.

Ram ProMaster has been thoroughly reinvented to efficiently meet the multitude of specific customer needs in the vocational and delivery space.
