2015 Ram ProMaster City fuel economy (EPA)
The EPA rates the 2015 Ram ProMaster City at 24 MPG combined. Every EPA test configuration is below, from the government's fuel-economy database.
City, highway and combined figures are in MPG (MPGe on electricity).
| Version | Engine | Transmission · drive | City | Hwy | Comb. | Fuel / yr | CO₂ g/mi |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Promaster City | 2.4L 4-cylinder | 9-speed automatic · FWD | 21MPG | 28MPG | 24MPG | $2,600 | 374 |
Source: U.S. EPA and Department of Energy, fueleconomy.gov. MPG is miles per gallon (MPGe for electric operation). Plug-in hybrids list gasoline-only MPG with the electric rating underneath. Annual fuel cost assumes 15,000 miles a year at the EPA's fuel-price assumptions, so yours will differ. Range is total driving range on a full tank or charge.
2015 Ram ProMaster City wheels & tires
Factory tire and wheel sizes, spare and the pressure to run, from the spec sheet and owner's manual.
| Fits | Tire | Wheel | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| All models | 215/55R16XL | 16 in, steel or aluminum | all-season, extra load |
- Cold tire pressure
- Not a single number: the owner's manual refers to the tire and loading placard (driver's side B-pillar or rear edge of the driver's door), which lists the pressures for your exact tire size and load.
- Spare
- Manual describes a compact spare, a full-size spare or a tire service kit, depending on equipment.
- Lug nut torque
- 63 ft-lb (86 N·m) (Steel wheels only), M12 x 1.25 thread, 17 mm socket
- Pressure monitor
- A tire pressure monitoring system warns when a tire is low.
Sizes and pressures vary by trim, wheel package and load: check the placard on your vehicle and the tire sidewall. Sizes from the manufacturer's specification sheet (2015 Ram ProMaster City Specifications). Pressure and spare notes from the owner's manual.
2015 Ram ProMaster City maintenance schedule
The factory schedule for normal driving. Oil changes follow the oil-change indicator on most models; severe use (towing, dusty roads, lots of idling) shortens some intervals.
A dot means the service is due at that mileage or after that many years, whichever comes first.
Additional Inspections
- Inspect the CV joints
- Inspect front suspension, boot seals, tie rod ends, and replace if necessary
- Inspect the brake linings, parking brake function
Additional Maintenance
- Replace air conditioning/cabin air filter
- Change brake fluid every two years

Severe duty all models
- Change Engine Oil at 4000 miles (6,500 km) if the vehicle is operated in a dusty and off road environment. This type of vehicle use is considered Severe Duty
Once a month or before a long trip
- Check engine oil level
- Check windshield washer fluid level
- Check tire pressure and look for unusual wear or damage. Rotate tires at the first sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs before the oil indicator system turns on
- Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir and brake master cylinder, fill as needed
- Check function of all interior and exterior lights
At every oil change
- Change oil and filter
- Rotate the tires. Rotate at the first sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs before the oil indicator system turns on
- Inspect battery and clean and tighten terminals as required
- Inspect brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, hoses, lines and park brake
- Inspect engine cooling system protection and hoses
- Inspect exhaust system
- Inspect engine air cleaner if using in dusty or off-road conditions
Footnotes
- * Change engine air filter every 10,000 miles (16,000 km) if operated in dusty and off road environment
- ** The spark plug change interval is mileage based only, yearly intervals do not apply
- Oil change intervals must not exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km), 350 hours of engine run time or twelve months, whichever comes first

EquipmentDecember 21, 2017 · Campaign 17V824000
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling various Dodge, Chrysler, and RAM vehicles equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. A list of the affected trailer models is available at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V824-0103.pdf. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or requiring excessive force to activate the extinguisher.
Risk: If the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury in the event of a fire.
Fix: Chrysler will notify owners instructing them to contact Kidde for a replacement fire extinguisher, free of charge. The recall began February 14, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 or Kidde customer service service toll-free at 1-855-262-3540, or online at www.kidde.com and click on…
Campaign 17V824000 on NHTSA.govEquipment: other: labelsSeptember 26, 2017 · Campaign 17V601000
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2015-2017 RAM ProMaster City vehicles. These vehicles have incorrect information on the tire placard including incorrect vehicle capacity weight, total number of occupants, tire pressure and/or "None" designation for the spare tire size when a full size spare tire is present. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
Risk: The incorrect tire placard can cause the operator to exceed the vehicle's weight capacity, or inflate the tires to an incorrect pressure, affecting vehicle handling, which can increase the risk of a crash.
Fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the incorrect tire placard with a corrected one, free of charge. The recall began November 17, 2017. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is T62.

Great Lakes owner notes
What counts on a 2015 Ram ProMaster City from Michigan to Tennessee
We read the 2015 ProMaster City owner data, service schedule and spec sheets with Kentucky driving in mind: frozen starts, salted highways, cratered streets and hills. These are the figures worth acting on.
Sidewall height versus broken pavement
Smallest factory tire: 215/55R16. Freeze-thaw cycles break up asphalt across the Great Lakes states, and one jolt can knock the alignment out without leaving a mark on the wheel. If the steering wheel sits off-center or the ProMaster City wanders after a pothole, get the alignment checked before the tire edges wear. A winter set on 16-inch wheels also keeps salt off the originals.
The oil grade on a January morning
The 2015 Ram ProMaster City fluids table lists SAE 0W-20, with 5.5 quarts per change. Lake-effect winters are full of short, cold trips: to work, to school, to the store and home again before the engine reaches temperature. That pattern is tough on oil, so let the oil-change indicator set the interval and never stretch it.
Starting in single digits
Battery care in this schedule: inspect it and clean and tighten the terminals as required at each oil change. A battery that bakes through a Nashville or Memphis summer ages faster, then gets found out by the first hard freeze. Have it load-tested in fall rather than waiting for a slow crank.
Drive systems for lake-effect snow
Every 2015 version in the factory data is front-wheel drive; no all-wheel or four-wheel drive was offered. That works through a Great Lakes winter on proper winter tires, which matter more on packed snow than the number of driven wheels. Hills are the harder test, from steep Cincinnati side streets to back roads in West Virginia, so carry momentum gently and avoid spinning the tires.
Brake fluid, long descents and salted lines
The schedule lists brake fluid replacement starting at 20,000 miles. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point, and a long descent off a Tennessee or West Virginia ridge is exactly where brakes get hot enough for that to matter. In Michigan and Ohio, have the steel brake lines checked for salt corrosion whenever the wheels are off.
Gravel hollow roads and the air filter
The schedule asks for more frequent air-filter attention in dusty conditions, beyond the normal replacement every 30,000 miles. Gravel roads up Appalachian hollows and coal-haul routes in West Virginia and eastern Kentucky qualify, so inspect the filter at each oil change if they are part of your week.
Octane from the owner data
The owner data specifies 87 octane. A higher grade than the manual asks for adds cost without benefit, while a lower one than required makes the engine pull back ignition timing, which shows most under load on a long Appalachian climb.
Data behind these notes: owner's manual capacities, the Mopar service schedule and factory spec sheets. Regional advice is general, written for drivers from Kentucky to Ohio.
