Posted by juliabennet on March 18th, 2013
Those who were waiting eagerly for the Fiat Ducato in a new avatar can now be relieved to know that the good old Ram Van is back with a bang and the new avatar, Ram ProMaster is all set to hit the US roads. The new cargo van looks way different from its predecessors and is expected to be a much sought-after vehicle towards the end of 2013 when it will go on sale (during Q3, 2013 as confirmed by Chrysler Group LLC, the manufacturer). Good news for the enthusiasts, accessories compatible with this heavy-duty freighter are already available in the market and you can buy early the accessories if you want to save your cost. For the time being, let’s catch a quick glimpse of what new truck equipment are added to the new avatar and explore why it is expected to be perfect for US road.
For a matter of fact, the Ram ProMaster costs much less than the Mercedes Dodge Sprinter, though being a more effective and more heavy-duty vehicle. That is true and Chrysler has confirmed that the Euro-style Ram Van has been transformed into a US road-friendly ProMaster this time. The half-ton truck comes with a 3.6 liter V6 rated Pentastar engine (280 HP and 260 lbs torque paired). The six-speed auto-transmission engine offers a whopping 11,000 lbs GCM. The ProMaster is now available in 13 configurations and you can find two-roof heights and different types of chassis, cargo and models. Until now, the company has not confirmed about a passenger version of the freighter but you could expect that at some point next year. People who are not interested in what new truck equipment are waiting inside ProMaster may find some interest in the fact that the van storage space is increased up to five hundred thirty cubic ft.
The Ram ProMaster will also come with dual-sliding doors on sides and three different types of floor coverings to choose. Owners can either cover the floor of truck with wood or metal or rubber. The ultra-effective disc brakes come with calipers on each wheel and o[perators can also enjoty different front seat options. However, the company does not anywhere claim that the ProMaster as the prettiest cargo vehicle on road. However, if you consider the functions that the utility truck offers, you are sure to fall in love with it. Loading and unloading pallets come easy as the truck provides enough space for a fork truck to mount these items. Those who are interested to catch a sneak preview of the ProMaster truck equipment may get more delight in knowing that the truck comes with 17 inbuilt tie-down rings.
The price of the Ram ProMaster is not confirmed yet by Chrysler. However, market experts are predicting that the vehicle would not be chicken-taxed like many other competitor vehicles now available. Therefore, if you are looking for truck equipment and accessories for it now, it’s a wise decision as prices of these accessories may rise in 2014.
