About This 2017 RAM ProMaster City Tradesman Cargo Van

This 2017 RAM ProMaster City Tradesman Cargo Van (Stock #J2050) comes in at 98,769 miles, placing it well within the range where this platform continues to perform reliably with routine maintenance. The ProMaster City was designed from the ground up as a purpose-built commercial vehicle, and the Tradesman Cargo trim is the workhorse of the lineup — stripped of excess, focused on function, and built to carry.

2017 RAM ProMaster City Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a smooth 9-speed automatic transmission — an unusually refined combination for the compact cargo van segment. Front-wheel drive means better traction on hills and wet pavement, which is a real-world benefit whether you're navigating the winding roads of La Mesa or making deliveries through the coastal neighborhoods of Point Loma and Ocean Beach. The 9-speed transmission keeps the engine in its power band efficiently, contributing to competitive fuel economy for a cargo van — typically in the mid-to-upper 20s MPG on the highway. That matters when you're logging business miles across San Diego County every week.
 

RAM ProMaster City Tradesman Features and Interior

The Tradesman Cargo configuration prioritizes cargo space over passenger comfort — and that's exactly what commercial buyers want. The rear cargo area offers a flat load floor, twin rear barn doors, and available sliding side door access, making loading and unloading efficient in tight urban spaces. The cabin is functional and straightforward, with a driver-focused layout, Uconnect infotainment, Bluetooth connectivity, and controls designed to be operated quickly between stops. The ProMaster City's compact exterior footprint — notably smaller than a full-size Transit or Sprinter — means easy parallel parking and maneuverability in dense city environments like downtown San Diego and Hillcrest.
 

RAM ProMaster City Reliability and Ownership

The RAM ProMaster City was introduced to the U.S. market with Fiat Doblò roots, which initially raised some eyebrows, but the platform has earned a solid reputation in commercial fleet use. The 2.4-liter Tigershark engine and the 9-speed ZF-sourced automatic have proven durable in high-cycle, stop-and-go driving environments. Owners consistently report low maintenance costs relative to competitors, and parts availability has improved significantly as the platform matured. At 98,769 miles, this van is well past its break-in period and, if properly maintained, has meaningful working life remaining. As with any used commercial vehicle, a pre-purchase inspection is always a smart step — and Siry Motors encourages buyers to do their due diligence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2017 RAM ProMaster City a good buy?

Yes — especially at this mileage and price point. The ProMaster City fills a niche between small cargo vans and full-size options, offering enough cargo room for most commercial applications while remaining maneuverable in urban environments. The 2017 model year benefits from a refined 9-speed automatic that earlier model years didn't have, making it one of the better years to buy.
 

How many miles is too many for a RAM ProMaster City?

With proper maintenance, the ProMaster City's 2.4-liter engine and 9-speed transmission can last well beyond 150,000 miles in commercial use. At 98,769 miles, this van still has significant life ahead of it. Service records, oil change history, and a visual inspection of the cargo floor and door hardware are the key things to check on any used ProMaster City.
 

What does the Tradesman Cargo trim include?

The Tradesman Cargo Van trim is RAM's commercial-grade configuration focused on utility. It typically includes the flat cargo floor, rear barn doors, a sliding passenger-side door, Uconnect with Bluetooth, and a driver-facing instrument cluster. It omits rear seating and lifestyle features found in the Wagon variants, prioritizing maximum cargo volume instead.
 

Is front-wheel drive good for a cargo van?

For most commercial applications — especially urban delivery and trade work — FWD is actually an advantage. It provides better traction in wet or mildly challenging conditions without the added weight and mechanical complexity of a rear-wheel or four-wheel drive system. For buyers in Southern California, FWD is more than sufficient for virtually any working environment.
 

Can I use this van for my small business?

Absolutely. The 2017 RAM ProMaster City Tradesman Cargo Van is purpose-built for exactly that. It's commonly used by electricians, plumbers, landscapers, caterers, couriers, and mobile service providers across San Diego County and beyond.
