2014 Ram ProMaster full-size van leads with its chin

It was only a matter of time before we saw Chrysler’s version of the Fiat Ducato full-size van, and today it arrived to the Chicago Auto Show as the 2014 Ram ProMaster. While it might look like an overweight UFC fighter that’s been punched in the lip by Randy Couture, the 11,500 lbs. van should provide reliable function at a competitive price.

The ProMaster revives the full-size van line Chrysler has been without since Mercedes took back the Sprinter, and will compete against the Sprinter, Chevrolet Express, Nissan NV and the (soon to be) Ford Transit — a mini-boom of vanitude after years of neglect. As of now, there's no indication a passenger version of the ProMaster will be produced, but at some point it might make sense.
