    2014 Dodge ProMaster 3500 3.0 I-4 Diesel vs 2015 Ford Transit 350 I-5 3.2 Diesel

    I've delivered there a bunch of times and it was truly amazing to see the thousands of Transits sitting there!!!

    2014 Dodge ProMaster 3500 3.0 I-4 Diesel vs 2015 Ford Transit 350 I-5 3.2 Diesel

    This is Expediters Online which means we discuss with the way Expeditors drive, which I am sure it is not the way Truck Trend tests trucks. Think about it. HARD acceleration - FULL braking - HARD turning testing the handling! Okay what's the miles per gallon? Come on! Be serious! The only way to...

    2014 Dodge ProMaster 3500 3.0 I-4 Diesel vs 2015 Ford Transit 350 I-5 3.2 Diesel

    No matter the vehicle, an air ride seat softens probably 80 to 85 percent of whatever shocks that you would normally absorb through your seat and up through your spinal column. Over time that's going to make a great difference what your discs in your back look like, and all that structure that...

    2014 Dodge ProMaster 3500 3.0 I-4 Diesel vs 2015 Ford Transit 350 I-5 3.2 Diesel

    When the Promaster is empty I think its about 70% on the front but of course when it has cargo in the weight distribution changes to what you might consider "normal". Then again, I'll bet most Promasters never get stuck in the winter! I can't tell you how many times my $printer got stuck...

    2014 Dodge ProMaster 3500 3.0 I-4 Diesel vs 2015 Ford Transit 350 I-5 3.2 Diesel

    I believe there is a lot of witchcraft involved with factory mile per gallon claims. I can't tell you why or why not someone else doesn't do something but all I can report is what my actual results in the real world are. After I finish the Promaster in my shop and get a driver in it, I plan to...

    2014 Dodge ProMaster 3500 3.0 I-4 Diesel vs 2015 Ford Transit 350 I-5 3.2 Diesel

    So I copy your exact post to my Chrysler RAM dealer, and he sends it on to his guy at Chrysler. Apparently it takes a little time to get a response back but my guy says the Chrysler wants to talk to your guy. So if you would just be kind enough to provide the dealer and the person that gave you...

    2014 Dodge ProMaster 3500 3.0 I-4 Diesel vs 2015 Ford Transit 350 I-5 3.2 Diesel

    Even Ford acknowledged the Promaster gets 20 miles per gallon, I am only making one more than that. I'm sure that it's great fun to try to squeal the tires at every stop sign and stop light but I choose to save fuel

    That weight must be with every single option available. My door sticker says what the actual shipping weight was

    I get 21 miles per gallon with my Promaster. How are those fuel savings calculated?

    Gosh! What those things failing all over the place and being identical, I would think they'd have a stack of them at every dealership??? I will be talking to my Chrysler RAM dealer about this and I will report back. Sent from my SM-N900V

    My 3500 159" Extended High Top Promaster says 4,407 lbs. capacity... I would like chocolate cake with some vanilla ice cream please! :D

    No, what I said was I discount posts that include information from other people that cannot be verified. What you had done was quote somebody from an entirely different forum that I could not find the original post to verify what the person I actually said nor question them as to what really...

    READ the quote I'm responding to.... The claim was "Most companies..." READ first... post later. It's very, very unlikely anyone that is not currently with the company we work with will bring either vehicle in... making my comments much more likely...

    2014 Dodge ProMaster 3500 3.0 I-4 Diesel vs 2015 Ford Transit 350 I-5 3.2 Diesel

    Probably 1/2 of my loads are over 2,500 lbs. and when they are, I make great rate. Anyone who wants to focus on the sub-2,500 lb. loads exclusively will be constantly be looking at $1.00 or less per mile... not what I'd like to try to keep a brand new van running with!

    SMART TIP for Promaster Owners! - carry a rachet with the correct tip and you too can have 70" door opening just like OVM, IN JUST 1 MINUTE! 4 bolts remove the top door latches instantly if you ever get the Unicorn load that requires a 70" opening! Do they have rachets in Canada?

    I order my new Promasters with the air ride seat and without the passenger seat, which is VERY handy for refrigerator/micro kitchens. I do not know if Ford has either an air ride seat or passenger seat delete option but I would think you would want to check that.

    2014 Dodge ProMaster 3500 3.0 I-4 Diesel vs 2015 Ford Transit 350 I-5 3.2 Diesel

    The RAM can carry significantly more weight, is substantially less money, and gets better fuel economy (according even to Ford reports). I often make straight truck rate with my Promaster JUST because it can carry so much more weight! The Ford is prettiest outside but both look the same from...
