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.

2016 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 collapsible 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 (2016 Ram ProMaster Specifications). Pressure and spare notes from the owner's manual.

2016 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.

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 2016 Ram ProMaster against salt, snow and steep grades

Lake-effect squalls, roads soaked in brine, potholes that open with every thaw and long Appalachian grades: driving in the Great Lakes states asks a lot of tires, batteries and undersides. These notes take the 2016 ProMaster figures above and flag the ones that carry the most weight in Tennessee.

What the manual says about oil

Oil capacity is 6 qt, and the manual lists SAE 5W-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.

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

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.

Cold mornings and the tire-pressure light

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.

Coolant through freeze and climb

Fluids table: OAT coolant (10-year/150,000-mile formula), 10.5 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 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.

Fuel reserve for storm closures

Fuel capacity: 24 gallons. Lake-effect whiteouts can shut stretches of I-94 in Michigan or I-90 through the Ohio Snowbelt for hours, so keep the tank from running low between November and March. If you do end up stranded, a running engine for heat needs a tailpipe clear of snow.

Each spec in these notes is pulled from the tables above. The commentary on salt, snow, potholes and grades is general guidance for the Great Lakes states; the owner's manual remains the authority.

2016 Ram ProMaster questions

How much oil does the 2016 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 2016 Ram ProMaster use?

Engine oil: API certified SAE 5W-20 (MS-6395).

When is the first scheduled maintenance on the 2016 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 2016 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 2016 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.

What changed on the 2016 Ram ProMaster?

New trims: Cutaway (2500 and 3500), Chassis Cab (2500 and 3500) and Window Van (2500 and 3500); Dropped trims: Cutaway (3500), Chassis Cab (3500) and Window Van (2500); New option packages: Auxiliary Battery Wiring Prep Package and Rear Speaker Wiring Prep Package; New to the equipment chart: ParkView rear backup camera prep with cable connection at the B-Pillar.

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.

The components named most often are engine (23), electrical system (19), and power train (19). 1 complaint involved a crash and 0 complaints a fire.
