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).

VersionEngineTransmission · driveCityHwyComb.Fuel / yrCO₂ g/mi
Promaster City2.4L 4-cylinder9-speed automatic · FWD21MPG28MPG24MPG$2,600374

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 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.

  • 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

Campaign 17V824000 on NHTSA.gov
Equipment: 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.

2015 Ram ProMaster City questions

How much oil does the 2015 Ram ProMaster City take?

With a filter change: 2.4L engine (SAE 0W-20, API certified), 5.5 quarts / 5.2 liters. Capacities are from the owner's manual; check the dipstick or oil-life display after filling.

What kind of oil does the 2015 Ram ProMaster City use?

2.4L engine: SAE 0W-20, API certified (MS-6395) and Engine oil filter: Mopar engine oil filter.

When is the first scheduled maintenance on the 2015 Ram ProMaster City?

At 20,000 miles or 2 years: inspect the cv joints; inspect front suspension, boot seals, tie rod ends, and replace if necessary; inspect the brake linings, parking brake function; replace air conditioning/cabin air filter; change brake fluid every two years. Oil changes in between follow the oil-change indicator.

Where can I find the 2015 Ram ProMaster City owner's manual?

The manufacturer publishes it free on Mopar.com as a PDF (linked in the manuals section above), along with quick guides, radio manuals and the warranty booklet.

What MPG does the 2015 Ram ProMaster City get?

The EPA rates the 2015 Ram ProMaster City at 24 MPG combined, depending on the version. 2.4L 4-cylinder, 9-speed automatic, FWD: 21 city / 28 highway / 24 combined. Ratings are the EPA's laboratory figures from fueleconomy.gov; real-world mileage varies with driving, load and weather.

What size tires does the 2015 Ram ProMaster City use?

Factory tire sizes: 215/55R16XL (All models). The recommended cold inflation pressure for your exact tires is on the tire placard (driver's side B-pillar or rear edge of the driver's door), not in a single table.

Does the 2015 Ram ProMaster City have recalls?

NHTSA lists 4 safety recall campaigns for the 2015 Ram ProMaster City. The most recent: Equipment (December 2017), Equipment: other (September 2017), and Electrical system: software (April 2016). NHTSA's data was last fetched November 8, 2026. Recalls are listed by model year, so a given vehicle may or may not be covered: enter its VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or ask a dealer to see which are open.

What are the most common safety complaints about the 2015 Ram ProMaster City?

Owners have filed 88 complaints about the 2015 Ram ProMaster City with NHTSA. The components named most often are electrical system (28), power train (27), and engine (26). 2 complaints involved a crash and 1 complaint a fire. Complaints are reports from owners that NHTSA does not verify, so treat them as a signal to look into, not a finding.

Specifications come from the manufacturer's spec comparison and its media-site specification sheets; maintenance schedules, fluids and publications come from Mopar's owner site and owner's manuals. Equipment and ratings vary by configuration; check the owner's manual or a dealer for a specific vehicle.
