I appreciate your honesty about the Ram problems.

2014 Ram Promaster 2500 self build 2nd owner…no headlight problem…no transmission problem so far….I’ve put 50k miles in 2 yrs …. I also tow a trailer for my business for 3/4 of the miles i put on it…love my promaster. Male friend (not tall but a big guy) is a delivery driver for fedex they just changed him from promaster to sprinter ….he misses the promaster.

I have a 2018  Pro-Master 3500 that Winnebago use's for their Travato RV. The RV weigh's about 9,200 lbs, fuel mileage is ok, 17 to 18 mpg. I added the Sumo springs to the front and rear, that made a huge difference in the ride....................for the better. We have not had any issues with the van, quality seems to be very good.

I drive a Promaster 3500 for Amazon and I have to say, these vans are a lot more practical than the Ford Transit.
Better turning radius, seat is higher to be able to stand up easier, they handle in the wind better, and the sliding doors are easy to open/close and actually shut properly. My only complaint is there is no "real" handle to close the sliding door.

I guess we are just lucky. Have been in a Promaster for 3 years. My 6’3” boyfriend has no issue with the seat height, and we have the swivel seats upgrade. We find the seats comfortable for long rides, and have had zero issues with headlights. We are on a forum for Roadtrek vans built on the Promaster and haven’t seen these issues posted by owners.

oh boy, time to go down a deep rabbit hole of transits now. glad I watched this!

I have a 2017 3500 ext 3.6L with 45000 miles it's used for business mostly around town. Its well loaded with parts and tools. I've had zero problems.

Sir I'm here because of Antoinette Yvonne's van conversions, love it! Thank you for your honesty and each vans' specifics.

Good intel. I wish Toyota made a cargo van for the states. Or the Nissan van was larger. Thanks

converting a 2020 with 40k on it... so far so good,

My Promaster burned up 3 transmissions before 100k. Traded it in at 105k for a new Sprinter because my warranty was up and also my head gaskets were leaking and the transmission was starting to go out again. These vans are disposable cheap trash.

I had issues with moisture in my headlight and did a couple things to fix it. Part of the upper area of the assembly was snapped, I fixed it with a ton of JB weld and looked for any other holes and sealed those too. I replaced the bulbs with LEDs because they would constantly burn out, had to get additional resistor kits with the LEDs but they work amazing now. I also replaced the running lights. The main thing however was the tiny drain tube in the gutter area below the dash, on both sides I cleared that out with a hose, and silicone sealed the tubes down to the plastic. They get blocked easily and then water pools and drains around the tube, which is a problem. It should drain through the tubes and out via the wheel wells. It's a shitty design, but since sticking them down I have had no problems. I'm also careful to clear debris out from below the windshield regularly.

THANK YOU BROTHER FOR YOUR HONESTY ! I WAS LEANING TOWARD THIS VAN

I have 2014 3500 ext one, doing lots of highway miles working in
expediting business. Got it in 2018 with 28k miles on it. From 30k miles
to 240k miles used it occasionally to tow 7*14 enclosed trailer (empty
2200lbs up to 5k-6k GTW) about 70k miles with that trailer and maybe 30k
with smaller ones like 5*8 or 6*12 Uhaul ones. First year fall - about
60k miles went through rocky mountains in CO with full trailer 5k lbs I
think and empty van - that was a mistake. Overheated trans and it
failed. Luckily still had factory warranty - was about to expire in a
few months)) New dealer trans (could cost me 7k if paying out of
pocket). since then replaced alternator, belt and bearings. Battery,
spark plugs and tires. Oil change every 8-10k with semi sintetic HM oil.
Almost 300k miles now. Changed trans fluid twice (160k and 290k), since
240k using occasionally to tow only small trailers. Lots of dash lights
on for a while (air bags sensor, oil pressure sensor and some minor
ones). Overall very pleased with grandpa PROMaster - few tips - dont go
over 3,5k rpms, don't tow anything really heavy over the Rockys or in
some tough parts at NE and other Appalachian mountains. GL and HF))

Great video. Thanks man. It’s a tough choice for us right now but this video is helping us make our decision

I like you. You’re a keeper. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and honesty.

Can you offer Antoinette link?  Also, I would like to ask this of all presenters, is to really enunciate when speaking models or products, as new people are learning. If I d you all in the field are very versed, but new folks are not…so we don’t now all the things you speak of, it’s the first time we hear these things!  Vs feel you need to rush the info out, etc.!  Appreciate the efforts for sure to make these videos!

REALLY GLAD I WATCHED THIS VIDEO AND GOT A HONEST OPINION!

I drive a 2018 Promaster 2500 for work. Day one,  transmission module went. Happened again around 9000 miles. So far, both headlight bulbs have blown about 6 times each. $ 50 a pop. The headlight housings are both so melted and burnt that it reminds me of a Salvador Dali painting. The dealer said they looked and could not find any problem. Driving around town, you see most other Promasters winking at you with a headlight out. Two of our other Promasters have similar issues. The e brake had to be rebuilt 6 months after picking up the van. The biggest issue has been an oil leak that the dealer couldn't repair for over 2 months. 2 to 3 quarts a week. A known issue with the plastic oil filter housing cracking. The dealer told us that " we don't know when we can get the part, there are over 7000 complaints on this ". Imagine trying to run a business or live out of a van leaking that much oil everywhere and no resolution. I would go with the Ford, folks.

Love the name! Thanks for the tips.
