2018 Ram ProMaster 3500

OVERVIEWThe Ram ProMaster is Fiat Chrysler's rebadged version of the Fiat Ducato, marketed in the US, Canada, and Mexico since late 2013. Its most significant departure from the Ducato is the availability of the 3.6 liter Pentastar V6 gasoline engine paired with the 62TE six-speed automatic, offered alongside the Ducato's diesel options; the front-wheel-drive layout shared with the Ducato gives the ProMaster a notably lower cargo floor than its rear-wheel-drive Ford and Mercedes competitors, a frequently cited advantage for camper conversions specifically, since it lowers the interior step-up height and center of gravity. The ProMaster has become one of the most common platforms for the self-converted camper van market alongside the Mercedes Sprinter and Ford Transit, supported by an active online community of builders and owners, including the ProMasterForum, who share conversion plans, parts sourcing, and troubleshooting specific to this platform. A well-documented, already-converted camper like this one, with working systems and a clearly itemized equipment and flaw list, typically appeals to buyers who want to skip the months-long build process themselves.View More
