Ram ProMaster vs Ford Transit

When your work takes you through city streets and narrow alleys, performance and maneuverability become essential. The 2025 Ram ProMaster comes equipped with an available 3.6L V6 engine that produces 276 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission for smooth, responsive handling.

The 2025 Ford Transit also features a 3.5L V6 engine, delivering 275 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, along with a 10-speed automatic transmission. While the Transit offers comparable horsepower and slightly more torque, the ProMaster maintains competitive power while offering better drivability in confined areas.

Maneuverability

Thanks to its front-wheel-drive layout, the ProMaster achieves a Best-in-Class turning diameter of just 36.3 feet. This tight turning radius is a major asset when navigating crowded job sites or city traffic. By contrast, the rear-wheel-drive Ford Transit has a turning diameter of up to 42.9 feet, making the ProMaster the more agile choice when operating in tighter spaces.

If your work demands quick pivots, tight turns, and reliable traction—even when fully loaded—the Ram ProMaster delivers where it counts.

Equipping your team with the right technology can make a significant difference in day-to-day operations. The 2025 Ram ProMaster offers a comprehensive lineup of standard and available safety and connectivity features designed to boost driver confidence, increase operational efficiency, and keep your business moving forward.

The Ram ProMaster includes several essential safety systems as standard equipment, such as:

• Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking
• Pedestrian/Cyclist Emergency Braking
• Drowsy Driver Detection
• ParkView® Rear Back-Up Camera

These features work together to help reduce accidents and alert the driver to potential hazards—capabilities that are particularly useful in busy work zones or urban traffic.

By comparison, the 2025 Ford Transit includes a similar baseline of safety features. However, many of the Transit’s more advanced technologies, such as Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control and Blind Spot Assist, are optional or limited to higher trims, whereas the ProMaster makes them more widely available across its configurations.

Level 2 Autonomous Driving

One standout feature that gives the ProMaster a strong edge is its available Active Driving Assist System, which brings Level 2 Autonomous Driving to the commercial van segment. 

This system combines adaptive cruise control with lane centering to support the driver during extended trips, reducing fatigue and improving overall safety. The Ford Transit does not currently offer a comparable feature.

Technology inside the cabin is just as impressive. The 2025 ProMaster features the intuitive Uconnect® 5 infotainment system with a standard 7-inch touchscreen, offering quick processing speeds, customizable user profiles, and over-the-air updates. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ ensure seamless smartphone integration. 

While the Ford Transit includes the SYNC® 4 system, it comes standard with a smaller 4-inch screen, and the upgraded 12-inch display is only available on select trims.

For enhanced driver awareness and protection, the Ram ProMaster also offers several additional features that are not standard or widely available on the Ford Transit. Highlighted available Ram ProMaster Features:

• Uconnect® 5 system with 7-inch touchscreen and wireless smartphone integration
• 360° Surround View Camera and ParkSense® Front and Rear Park Assist
• Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection
• LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist

Together, these technologies help make the 2025 Ram ProMaster a generally smarter, safer, and more user-friendly choice for businesses that value advanced protection and modern convenience.
