2015 Ram C/V (Cargo Van)
OVERVIEW

Chrysler Canada: Ram Cargo Van Leads in Class 1 Capabilities

¥	3.6-litre PentastarTM Variable Valve Timing (VVT) V6 engine delivers best-in-class horsepower (hp), torque and driving range1
¥	Ram C/V offers best-in-class cargo capacity and class-exclusive towing capability
¥	Ram C/V offers more payload capability than the competitors in the class
¥	Commercial-tuned ride and heavy-duty suspension maximize payload capability
¥	Solid side privacy panels and flat load floor tailored for small-business needs

The Ram Cargo Van (C/V) features solid sliding door and rear quarter window and backlight privacy panels in place of sunscreen glass windows.  Buyers also have the option of equipping their Ram C/V with several combinations of solid and glass panels, including a choice of solid or glass backlight.

The Ram C/V also receives a structural flat aluminum rear load floor. Three flooring options are available, including one with a flat, uninterrupted, high-capacity surface. A second, optional floor provides through-the-floor access to three class-exclusive storage bins and load floor tie-downs. 
A third option is to delete the load floor to accommodate upfits.

With more than 30 years of minivan engineering behind it, and as the inventor of the first minivan-based cargo van, the Ram Commercial brand understands the versatility needs for both small and large businesses. Ram C/V utilizes the convenience features and city-friendly dimensions that have made Chrysler Group minivans segment leaders, while maximizing cargo, convenience and capability attributes.

Ram C/V offers small businesses many competitive advantages. Among them, Ram C/V provides 816 kg (1,800 lb.) payload, more than any competitor’s vehicles, and category-exclusive towing capability, up to 1,633 kg (3,600 lb.). With a 76-litre fuel tank and as good as 9.1 L/100 km (31 mpg) highway (**new 5-cycle shown, see last page for 2-cycle comparison), Ram C/V also delivers best-in-class driving range1.

Ram C/V is engineered to meet small business and commercial needs. A commercial-tuned ride and heavy-duty suspension offer maximum hauling capability. A heavy-duty radiator and heavy-duty transmission oil cooler help meet heavier powertrain demands. Ram C/V also is engineered with unique hydraulic power-assist rack-and-pinion steering, front anti-sway bar and rear twist-beam axle with coil springs, and boasts a maximum Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) of 3,969 kg (8,750 lb.).

With standard Electronic Stability Control (ESC), commercial load-tuned tire-pressure monitoring (TPM), four-wheel anti-lock disc brake system (ABS) and ideal command-of-the road seating, the Ram C/V offers capability, comfort and convenience with great road manners.

PentastarTM VVT V6 engine
At the heart of the 2015 Ram C/V is the award-winning 3.6-litre Pentastar VVT V6 engine mated to a smooth-shifting six-speed automatic transmission. The Pentastar V6 is a high-tech, high-performing engine with variable-valve timing that hits the sweet spot between power and efficiency.  It delivers best-in-class 283 horsepower (hp) and 260 lb.-ft. of torque without sacrificing fuel economy. 

The Ram C/V also features a driver-selectable fuel economizer feature, which alters transmission shift patterns to help improve fuel efficiency. 

In addition, a rear spoiler and reduced brake caliper and rear bearing drag all contribute to Ram C/V’s class-leading aerodynamics and excellent fuel economy.

Interior
A modern one-piece instrument panel is more intuitive for the customer with impressive ergonomics and large gauges. 

With up to 4,403 litres (155.5 cu. ft.) of interior storage, Ram C/V leads the segment, and unlike other Class 1 competitors, provides ample space to haul 4x8 sheets of building materials. Cargo access is maximized via the Ram C/V’s front seats, rear liftgate and dual sliding doors.
