Source: 2015 Ram ProMaster Specifications (Stellantis media site).

No EPA fuel-economy rating. Heavy-duty pickups, chassis cabs and full-size vans above 8,500 lb gross vehicle weight are exempt from EPA labeling, so there is no official MPG figure for the ProMaster.

2015 Ram ProMaster wheels & tires

The spec sheet doesn't list tire sizes for this model year; here is what the owner's manual says.

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
Depending on equipment the van has a compact spare, a full-size or limited-use temporary spare, or a tire service kit instead of a spare.
Lug nut torque
145 ft-lb (197 N·m), M16 x 1.50 thread, 21 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 Specifications). Pressure and spare notes from the owner's manual.

2015 Ram ProMaster 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 front suspension, tie rod ends, boot seals, and replace if necessary
  • Inspect the brake pads, replace as necessary

Additional Maintenance

  • Replace cabin/air conditioning filter
  • Replace Brake Fluid every two years. *

Power train: automatic transmission: control module (TCM/PCM/TECM)April 11, 2016 · Campaign 16V202000

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Ram ProMaster City vans manufactured September 26, 2014, to March 5, 2016. A low-voltage electrical harness connector by the front driver seat may be susceptible to water intrusion and corrosion. Corrosion may result in a loss of communication to the Transmission Control Module (TCM) and may cause the transmission to unexpectedly shift into and stay in neutral without warning the next time that the vehicle stops.

Risk: An unintended shift into neutral will prevent the vehicle from being moved. Additionally, if the driver turns off the engine, the driver will be unable to restart the engine. Both scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.

Fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will relocate the harness connector to under the instrument panel, free of charge. The recall began on June 3, 2016. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is S24.

Salt, snow and hills: the data

The 2015 Ram ProMaster against salt, snow and steep grades

None of the factory data on this page changes from one region to the next, but what deserves a second look does. Below are the 2015 Ram ProMaster lines that matter for a Bowling Green winter, a spring of broken pavement, a boat on the hitch or a long descent in the hills.

The oil grade on a January morning

The 2015 Ram ProMaster fluids table lists SAE 5W-20, with 6 qt 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.

Battery checks before the cold

The spec sheet lists 800 to 950 cold-cranking amps. A ProMaster left at a lake cottage or in a pole barn for weeks slowly drains its battery, and a cold snap then finds it with nothing to spare. A plug-in maintainer for stored vehicles is cheap insurance in the Great Lakes states.

Which wheels do the pulling

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.

Pressure, potholes and the thermometer

Air pressure falls about 1 psi with each 10°F drop, so the swing from a gray, mild lake-effect afternoon to a clear, frigid morning can trip the warning light overnight. Set pressures cold, to the door-jamb placard. An underinflated tire is also easier to damage in a pothole, because the rim sits closer to the edge it hits. The schedule asks you to check pressures and look for unusual wear or damage.

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.

Tank size for hill country

The 2015 Ram ProMaster holds 24 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.

Capacities, ratings and service intervals: Stellantis data for the 2015 ProMaster. The Great Lakes reading of them is independent and is not factory or dealer advice.

2015 Ram ProMaster questions

How much oil does the 2015 Ram ProMaster take?

With a filter change: 3.6L engine (SAE 5W-20, API certified), 6 qt / 5.6 L. 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 use?

3.6L engine: API certified SAE 5W-20 (MS-6395).

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

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

Where can I find the 2015 Ram ProMaster 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 get?

The EPA doesn't publish a fuel-economy rating for the ProMaster: heavy-duty pickups, chassis cabs and full-size vans above 8,500 pounds gross vehicle weight are exempt from fuel-economy labeling, so there is no official MPG figure to quote.
