Which ProMaster and ProMaster City is right for you?

Just what is the difference between the ProMaster and ProMaster City? Our team here at Sawyer Motors in Saugerties is here to help you find that perfect vehicle for the job.

What's the difference?

The main difference between the ProMaster and ProMaster City is their size. The ProMaster is designed as a large cargo van to give you the most amount of space in a wide range of configurations and roof options. It also boasts a larger engine and, as a result, a bigger towing capacity.

As its name implies, the ProMaster City is best suited for city streets where parking, traffic, and street sizes like those that we see in Manorville can make it hard to maneuver. This can be a great option if you're making frequent trips within the city to get the job done.

Safety and Technology features

Both the Ram ProMaster and ProMaster City feature raised headlights that move them out of the way of common crash zones to help reduce damage and repair costs.

The ProMaster takes this step further with a modular three-piece front fascia that allows the individual components to be replaced easily and on their own in case of an accident.

The ProMaster is equipped with six standard airbags that are designed to protect the front area of the van. It makes use of features such as adaptive venting to provide additional protection.

The ProMaster City adds a seventh driver knee-bolster airbag, with the side-curtain airbags extending to protect second-row passengers on models equipped with the seating.

Safety features such as ParkView Rear Back-Up Camera is standard on both models and enable you to see what's behind you, right on the LCD screen on the console. It will even provide guides right on the screen to help you with backing up.

When it comes to technology, the ProMaster and ProMaster City are equipped with the Uconnect 3 infotainment system. With this, you get a 5-inch touchscreen where you can connect your smartphone through Bluetooth. This allows you to stream music through the audio system and make hands-free calls without taking your hands off of the steering wheel. You can use either the voice commands or controls mounted right onto the steering wheel. To help you stay connected, there's a USB port and 12V outlet in the front to keep your devices charged while out on a job.
