2016 Ram ProMaster City fuel economy (EPA)

The EPA rates the 2016 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.

2016 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, a limited-use spare or a tire service kit, depending on equipment.
Lug nut torque: 63 ft-lb (86 N·m) (Steel wheels), 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 (2016 Ram ProMaster City Specifications). Pressure and spare notes from the owner's manual.

2016 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.

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.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

The 2016 Ram ProMaster City against salt, snow and steep grades

From the Snowbelt east of Cleveland to the ridges of West Virginia and east Tennessee, this part of the country throws salt, snow and grade at every vehicle. Here is how the 2016 Ram ProMaster City specifications line up against all three.

Wheels, tires and freeze-thaw roads

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.

What the manual says about oil

Oil capacity is 5.5 qt, and the manual lists SAE 0W-20. Where more than one engine appears in the lineup, the engine code on the window sticker settles which grade applies. The wrong one in a Tennessee winter gives up a little protection on every cold start, and over years of driveway starts that adds up.

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

This model year was built with front-wheel drive only. On an icy grade, smooth throttle beats wheelspin, and winter tires do more for a front-wheel drive vehicle than any other change. When lake-effect snow turns an interstate white in minutes, leave several car lengths more than usual and let the vehicles with driven wheels at both ends sort themselves out ahead of you.

Coolant through freeze and climb

Fluids table: OAT coolant (10-year/150,000-mile formula), 7.2 qt. Scheduled replacement comes at 10 years or 150,000 miles. Stick to that chemistry, since mixing coolant types can shorten their protective life. On a used ProMaster City from Tennessee, ask whether the coolant was changed on time, and check the level in the overflow tank with the engine cold before you drive it.

Filters for dust and pollen

The cabin air filter first comes up at 20,000 miles. Spring pollen in the Ohio and Tennessee valleys is heavy, and a clogged cabin filter also slows the defroster in winter because it chokes the blower's airflow. It is a five-minute job on most vehicles.

Fuel grade and winter reserve

Fuel requirement: 87 octane. In winter, keeping the tank above half is a sensible habit across the Great Lakes states, because lake-effect pileups and mountain snow on I-64 or I-77 can leave traffic stopped for hours, and fuel is your heat.

Specifications are the manufacturer's; the weather and road context is ours. When a note here and the 2016 owner's manual disagree, follow the manual.
