Are there more ProMaster City models in the pipeline?
Even though the Ram ProMaster City is hitting dealerships right now, there is already talk of expanding the lineup.
Edmunds spoke with Joe Benson, head of Ram's commercial truck operations who hinted that more variations of the ProMaster City could be forthcoming if the demand is there.
"When we learn more about our customer needs here, then we can go to that portfolio and bring in what we need, which includes the diesel engine, a short wheelbase, maybe a seven-passenger version. We have that flexibility in the future," said Benson.
Other models up for consideration include a high-roof variant and a pickup variant with drop-down sides to access the cargo bed.
Benson predicts that sales of compact cargo vans to reach 100,000 units by 2016, a two-fold increase to the 50,000 units predicted for this year. His reasoning comes from owners of the Chevrolet Astro and GMC Safari vans looking to get into a new van.
