Flipping the industry upside down by developing it as an SUV instead of a sports sedan as its predecessor was from back in the 1970s. Dodge re-released a concept of the Hornet in an updated sedan version in 2006, but production didn’t start until 2023. It follows in the footsteps of re-imaging its muscle cars such as the Charger and Challenger. Four trims are available, but today we are focusing on the GT Model.

Brand loyalists tend to go with whatever features and technology a manufacturer offers at the time of purchase, but the 2025 RAM ProMaster is truly something different in the popular Class 2 segment of American work-ready vehicles!

Explore Commercial Efficiency in the 2025 RAM ProMaster

A Powertrain Combo of Proficiency

Pentastar Capability

RAM’s latest generation of the 3.6-liter, V6 Pentastar powerplant represents a significant move forward in overall efficiency. Known for reliability and performance, the Pentastar is constructed with lighter cast-aluminum components reinforced with cast iron. The 24-valve, dual overhead cam engine with multi-port injection provides a class-unequaled 276 horsepower and an adaptive 250 pound-feet of torque. With friction fighting and anti-wear features such as oil-cooled pistons, Pentastar is ready for most daily job-related challenges.

TorqueFlite Stability

ProMaster vans rely on the class-exclusive TorqueFlite 9-speed automatic transmission to complete what can only be described as a formidable powertrain combo. The duo enlists the latest technology such as multi-stage valve lift, variable valve timing, and an ingenious torque distribution directly related to onboard load demands and current road conditions. A commitment to efficiency shines with this business-end twosome.

Custom Configurations for Any Business 

There are many elements to consider when building just the right commercial van for the job, and ProMaster offers an array of choices to accommodate specific business needs. Four available lengths come in 8-, 10-, 12-, and 13-foot varieties offered across the Tradesman, SLT, and SLT-Plus trim lines. An assortment of available upfits and accessories provide ample configuration opportunities, whether it’s multi-level shelving, cargo space and securement, or crew-toting capabilities.

The amount of suitable cubic feet for individual commercial needs depends on which roof height is chosen, and the 2025 ProMaster offers a standard 66-inch, high 77-inch, and super-high 86-inch interior height selection, providing up to a stellar 524 maximum cubic feet of cargo space. With a very segment-competitive 4,820-pound maximum payload and a 6,910-pound towing capacity, ProMaster was built for proficient and reliable service.

Upward Mobility With Best-in-Class Features!

Donning a Class-Best turning radius of 36 feet and a class-exclusive front-wheel drive gives the RAM ProMaster added maneuverability in compromising situations. For those who have issues backing in an overhead door for loading, the ProMaster’s twin rear doors open a full 260 degrees, resting near the sides of the vehicle.

ProMaster vaunts the widest and tallest cargo area of all its Class 2 competitors, with 75 inches of cargo bay width and 56 inches between wheel wells. Add a flat cargo floor free of groves, and loading tall, heavy-duty, or palletized cargo becomes a more streamlined process.

Our Louisana summers are hot and humid, making a healthy AC essential to keep you cool. AC components wear out due to age, and some components can get damaged by hard objects thrown up from the surface. If you have an AC not working, your Jeep dealer will quickly fix it for you. We’d like to tell you a few signs you need to visit us for a repair.

AC Not Working? Visit Your Jeep Dealer

Musty, Dusty Smell

Once the AC has chilled the air, it passes through the cabin air filter, which removes any remaining dust or pollen. The cold, clean air then blows through the vents to cool your cabin. If the AC blows cold air that smells dusty or musty, the cabin air filter is probably blocked. You might also notice that airflow is slower than it should be based on the AC speed setting.

The filter is concertina-shaped, and dirt and other debris gather in the folds. Eventually, the filter is completely blocked, and as the cold air blows through it, it picks up the dusty smell from the trapped dirt. Pollen particles can also be pushed into the cabin, causing issues for allergy sufferers. We can quickly replace the dirty filter, and the cabin air will smell clean again.

Stuck Compressor Clutch

The compressor forces refrigerant and air through the AC system and switches on and off at set intervals as the warm, moist outside air turns into dry, cold air to give you that refreshing break from the heat you need. The compressor is powered by the crankshaft’s movement, and its clutch connects to the AC pulley.

Like all components, the clutch can wear out. If it fails and gets stuck, your AC will malfunction. A clutch that jams closed prevents the compressor from starting, and your AC won’t work. If the clutch is jammed open, the compressor will continue to run. This produces noise, and it will wear out faster. We’ll examine the clutch, and we can quickly replace it if required to fix this problem.

Failed Blower Motor

Once air has been chilled, it needs to blow into your cabin. The fan speed dial on your dash is controlled by a resistor, which sets the blower motor speed. Once the speed is set, it remains in that position until you change it. If you have little or no airflow through the vents despite the fan speed setting, your blower motor could have failed.

The motor could burn out due to age, but it could also fail due to damaged wiring or a blown blower motor fuse. We’ll examine the motor and repair or replace it depending on the situation.
