2022 Ram ProMaster City fuel economy (EPA)

The EPA rates the 2022 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.

2022 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/Universal joints
  • Inspect front suspension, boot seals, tie rod ends, and replace if necessary
  • Inspect the brake linings, parking brake function

Additional Maintenance

  • Replace the cabin air filter
  • Change brake fluid every two yearsThe brake fluid must be changed every 24 months. This interval is time based only, mileage intervals do not apply.

At every oil change

  • Change oil and filter
  • Rotate the tires 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 the CV/Universal joints
  • Inspect brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, hoses, lines and parking brake
  • Inspect engine cooling system protection and hoses
  • Inspect exhaust system

Great Lakes owner notes

What counts on a 2022 Ram ProMaster City from Michigan to Tennessee

We read the 2022 ProMaster City owner data, service schedule and spec sheets with Indiana 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.

What the manual says about oil

The fluids table calls for SAE 0W-20 at 5.5 qt, with synthetic oil in the specification. Synthetic stock copes with both ends of this region's weather, from a subzero start in the Upper Peninsula to a loaded summer climb in the Smokies. Match the exact specification on the filler cap, not just the viscosity.

Battery checks before the cold

The schedule includes a battery inspection at each oil change, with the terminals cleaned and tightened as required. Do it before the first cold snap: corrosion at the terminals adds resistance exactly when a frozen engine needs the most current from the battery. A load test each fall is worth adding once the battery is a few winters old.

Drive systems for lake-effect snow

Every 2022 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.

Tank size for hill country

The 2022 Ram ProMaster City holds 16 gallons of fuel. Once you leave the interstate in West Virginia or eastern Kentucky, mountain routes can run a long way between stations, and the climbs burn more fuel than flat miles do. Fill up before heading into the hills.

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 Indiana to Michigan.

2022 Ram ProMaster City questions

How much oil does the 2022 Ram ProMaster City take?

With a filter change: 2.4L engine, 5.5 qt / 5.2 L. Capacities are from the owner's manual; check the dipstick or oil-life display after filling.

What kind of oil does the 2022 Ram ProMaster City use?

2.4L engine: SAE 0W-20 full synthetic, API Starburst certified if not Mopar (MS-6395) and Engine oil filter: Filter meeting SAE/USCAR-36 performance requirements (SAE/USCAR-36).

When is the first scheduled maintenance on the 2022 Ram ProMaster City?

At 20,000 miles or 2 years: inspect the cv/universal joints; inspect front suspension, boot seals, tie rod ends, and replace if necessary; inspect the brake linings, parking brake function; replace the cabin air filter; change brake fluid every two years.the brake fluid must be changed every 24 months. this interval is time based only, mileage intervals do not apply. Oil changes in between follow the oil-change indicator.

Where can I find the 2022 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.
