About This 2024 RAM ProMaster 2500 Cargo Van
The 2024 model year is significant for a van with this mileage — it means the vehicle has been put to work, but it's still a relatively new platform running a modern drivetrain. For commercial buyers, high mileage on a well-maintained cargo van is not the liability it would be on a passenger car. The ProMaster 2500 High Roof configuration is one of the most sought-after setups on the used commercial market because of its generous cargo volume and comfortable stand-up interior clearance. At Stock #2188, this specific unit is available now at Prestige Auto Sales in Bakersfield, in Kern County, CA.
2024 RAM ProMaster 2500 Performance and Engine
Powertrain That Gets the Job Done
This ProMaster is powered by RAM's 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 with Variable Valve Timing (VVT), paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. In the ProMaster lineup, this combination is well-suited for the demands of daily commercial use — highway hauling, stop-and-go city routes, and loaded cargo runs. The front-wheel-drive layout is a deliberate engineering choice that lowers the load floor, making it easier to load and unload cargo while also improving traction in wet or loose surface conditions common in parts of the San Joaquin Valley.
The 9-speed automatic keeps the engine in an efficient power band at highway speeds, which matters when fuel costs are part of your operating budget. The low, flat cargo floor made possible by FWD is one of the ProMaster's biggest competitive advantages over rear-wheel-drive rivals.
RAM ProMaster 2500 Features and Interior
The High Roof Advantage
The High Roof designation on this van isn't just a spec — it's a game-changer for any job that requires workers to move freely inside the vehicle. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, medical equipment installers, and courier operations all benefit from the ability to stand upright without stooping. The Tradesman trim keeps the interior purposefully functional — vinyl flooring, a bulk-head partition, and rear cargo doors designed for heavy daily use rather than passenger comfort.
The driver's area offers straightforward controls, and the Uconnect infotainment system provides connectivity options for keeping your crew connected on the road. The 2500-series body offers increased payload capacity compared to the base 1500 variant, making it the right choice for operations that regularly move heavy or bulky loads.
RAM ProMaster Reliability and Ownership
What Owners and Fleet Managers Say
The RAM ProMaster has built a solid reputation in the commercial vehicle segment, particularly among small business owners and fleet managers who prioritize cargo volume and ease of loading. The Pentastar 3.6L V6 is one of Chrysler's most proven engines — it has appeared in millions of vehicles across the FCA lineup and is well-supported by independent mechanics and dealership service departments nationwide, including right here in Bakersfield.
Common ownership feedback highlights the ProMaster's lower cost of ownership compared to European-origin alternatives, the ease of finding parts, and the strong availability of aftermarket upfitting options. At 79,112 miles, a well-maintained ProMaster is still well within its working life — many fleet examples run well past 200,000 miles with regular service intervals maintained.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 2024 RAM ProMaster 2500 a good buy?
Yes — the 2024 ProMaster 2500 is widely regarded as one of the best value propositions in the full-size cargo van segment. Its high roof option, low load floor, and proven V6 engine make it a practical choice for a wide variety of commercial applications, and buying used saves you significantly versus new MSRP.
Is 79,000 miles too many for a commercial cargo van?
Not at all. Commercial vans are engineered for high-mileage, high-cycle use. A ProMaster with 79,112 miles that has been properly serviced is still well into the early portion of its working life. Many examples continue working reliably past 200,000 miles. A pre-purchase inspection by a trusted mechanic can give you full peace of mind.
What does the Tradesman trim include on the RAM ProMaster?
The Tradesman is the base commercial trim on the ProMaster lineup, but it's well-equipped for the job. It includes the Uconnect infotainment system, a rear cargo area with vinyl flooring, a standard partition, and the full suite of passive safety features. It's designed to be an upfit-ready blank slate for customization.
What is the cargo capacity of the RAM ProMaster 2500 High Roof?
The ProMaster 2500 High Roof offers approximately 283 cubic feet of cargo volume, one of the largest in the segment. The low floor height (around 21 inches) and wide rear door opening make loading and unloading considerably easier than competing vans with higher floors.
What's the difference between the RAM ProMaster 1500 and 2500?
The 2500 offers a higher gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) and greater payload capacity than the 1500. For operations that regularly carry heavy loads or equipment, the 2500 is the recommended choice. The 2500 designation indicates a heavier-duty suspension and chassis setup suited for demanding commercial use.
