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.

2019 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, which lists the pressures for your exact tire size and load.
Spare: Depending on equipment the van has a regular-size spare (with its own pressure sensor that is not monitored until it is fitted), a compact 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 (2019 Ram ProMaster Specifications). Pressure and spare notes from the owner's manual.

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.

Back over prevention: sensing system: cameraAugust 26, 2025 · Campaign 25V552000

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2019-2021 Ram ProMaster and 2019-2020 Dodge Journey vehicles. Cracks in the microprocessor may cause the vehicle's rearview camera image not to display properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility.

Risk: A rearview image that does not display properly reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will replace the rearview camera, free of charge. Interim notification letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed beginning September 30, 2025. A second notice will be sent once the final remedy is available, anticipated July 2026. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 800-853-1403.

Risk: The driver may be unaware of the actual gear position and unintended vehicle movement can occur, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Prime-Time will notify owners instructing them to take their vehicles to Ram dealers for the necessary repairs, free of charge. Owners may contact Prime-Time customer service at 1-574-293-9191. Prime-Time's number for this recall is W00.

Seat belts: front: retractorApril 20, 2020 · Campaign 20V222000

TransitWorks is recalling certain Driverge vehicles based on 2019-2020 Ford Transit vans equipped with Freedman Seating Company (FSC) PT Foldaway and GO-ES 3-point Foldaway seats. The seat belt retractor block out zone may have not been set correctly, potentially resulting in a seat belt that may not properly secure the occupant. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."

Risk: An unsecured occupant has an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash.

Fix: TransitWorks will notify owners, and dealers will replace the retractors, free of charge. The recall began May 13, 2020. Dealers can contact Freedman Seating Company for parts and reimbursement information at 1-800-443-4540.

Read for lake-effect country

What counts on a 2019 Ram ProMaster from Michigan to Tennessee

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 2019 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 2019 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.

Starting in single digits

Battery care in this schedule: inspect it and clean and tighten the terminals as required at each oil change, and the spec sheet rates it at 800 cold-cranking amps. 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.

Traction for snowbelt hills and hollows

Every 2019 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.

Antifreeze for both ends of the year

The system holds 10.5 qt of OAT coolant (10-year/150,000-mile formula). Stellantis manuals call for a 50/50 mix, good to about -34°F (-37°C), which is colder than a typical Great Lakes winter night; the real risk is dilution from top-ups with plain water. The same mix raises the boiling point for a loaded summer climb through the Tennessee mountains. A cheap tester checks the strength each fall.

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 2019 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 2019 ProMaster. The Great Lakes reading of them is independent and is not factory or dealer advice.

2019 Ram ProMaster questions

How much oil does the 2019 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 2019 Ram ProMaster use?

When is the first scheduled maintenance on the 2019 Ram ProMaster?

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.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.

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 2019 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 2019 Ram ProMaster?
