Vehicle model
Ram ProMaster
The Ram ProMaster is a full-size commercial van introduced in North America in 2014. The first product jointly developed by Ram and Fiat Professional, it derives from the Fiat Ducato and shares its underpinnings and many panels with it. Its distinguishing feature is its front-wheel drive and unibody construction, which lower the load floor and ease access to the cargo space. The ProMaster targets delivery companies, tradespeople and upfitters (camper vans, ambulances, service vehicles). It comes in several wheelbases, lengths and roof heights, with one of the most generous cargo volumes in the segment. Tires and wheels: its dimensions differ from Ram's pickups, being designed for payload and hauling. In Quebec, load-rated winter tires are indispensable for these work vans running year-round.

Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Ram couvrent une large gamme de dimensions. La 1500 reçoit couramment des jantes de 18, 20 ou 22 pouces, avec des pneus tels que 265/70R18 ou des formats plus larges sur grandes jantes. Attention à l'entraxe : la 1500 de 5e génération (2019 et plus) utilise un boulonnage à 6 trous (6x139,7), différent des générations antérieures. Les modèles lourds 2500 et 3500 emploient un entraxe à 8 trous (8x165,1), incompatible avec la 1500, et exigent souvent un minimum de 17 pouces. Au Québec, des pneus d'hiver dédiés (souvent en 17 ou 18 pouces) sont fortement recommandés pour ces véhicules lourds. Vérifiez toujours la dimension et l'entraxe exacts selon l'année et le modèle.
