Large and small businesses that want a vehicle that can serve as a mobile office or serious cargo transportation may find their match in a full-size van like one of the models in this 2018 Ram ProMaster vs 2018 Chevy Express comparison. But which vehicle is the best for business needs?
The 2018 Ram ProMaster is available with a single engine option: a 3.6-liter V-6 rated for 280 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. While the 2018 Chevy Express offers both a diesel and a V-8 engine option in addition to its standard V-6, the Ram cargo van offers a higher maximum payload with its single engine option than the Express offers throughout its entire powertrain lineup. Even better, the 2018 Ram Promaster is available with a lower starting price than its Chevrolet rival, which makes it even more attractive. That is not the end of the advantages that the 2018 Ram ProMaster Cargo Van brings to the road for discerning commercial shoppers.
