Let's talk about the Dodge Promaster Van
Anything Promaster related. What up-fitters are going to build on it, gas/diesel, mileage, tire size, seats, floor plans, sizes, etc. All I ask is to keep it about the Dodge Promaster.
Forum Discussion
This was discussed on the ProMaster forums. The towing capacity of the van is anemic compared to classic Ford or Chevy vans because of the smaller engine and the fact that the van is a unibody vehicle, as opposed to the ladder frame of the older models.
So far, there are no complaints on the PM forums where they are using vans for work and courier service, even up and down elevations. The Pentastar engine is a common rail fuel injection system, so it does as best for maximum fuel power and efficiency that a normally aspirated engine can do.
Supposedly in six months, the ProMaster is getting a turbo diesel and an automated manual transmission. This will be an interesting offering, as the engine (which is a renamed MultiJet that is the biggest size available in European Ducatos) isn't that new (the US emissions is, however), but the transmission is definitely new for the US.
