EXTERIOR

The unibody architecture helps minimize curb weight, a key contributor to the ProMaster City’s best-in-class payload capability of 1,883 pounds.
UPFITTER FRIENDLINESS
Inside, the ProMaster City offers plenty of cargo room.
Ram Truck is known industry-wide for being the most upfitter-friendly brand
in the truck market. The Ram ProMaster City continues the tradition and features a variety of available upfit systems through Mopar. Adding to the design for adaptability, virtually all primary vehicle systems are packaged forward of the cargo area, leaving the box open to creativity.
ENGINE
The 2015 Ram ProMaster City is powered by the 2.4liter Tigershark I-4. The engine generates a best-inclass 178 horsepower at 6,400
rpm, while its peak torque – 174 lb.-ft. (231 N•m) at 3,800 rpm – is greater than any standard-equipment engine in the ProMaster City’s segment. The engine’s four-valve aluminum head hosts advanced valve-actuation technology that is exclusive to Chrysler Group in North America. Dubbed MultiAir2, the electro-hydraulic fully variable system uses a column of oil in place of the traditional mechanical link between the camshaft and intake valves.
Fluid body lines give ProMaster City a strong, modern and professional representation. The tucked front-wheel-drive packaging provides a better vantage point of the front corners. The new van features plenty of real estate on all sides, alowing for businesses to post signage and graphics.
INTERIOR
The ProMaster City offers a cargo area width of 60.4 inches, a cargo area height of 51.8 inches and a step-in height of 21.5 inches. In addition, on each side of the vehicle there is a small, practical step that allows the user to get into the load area.

USED CAR BUYING GUIDE | OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
F
Finding a Perfect Fit
inding the perfect vehicle isn’t just about meeting your needs and matching your sense of style. It’s also about finding a car that fits your life and your budget over time.
Whether you’re buying a tiny sports car or a huge pickup truck, you’ve got to think about how the vehicle is going to match your changing lifestyle in the years to come.
GAS MILEAGE
One of the biggest ways a car or truck will impact your budget is by how much fuel it uses. The best source for fuel economy data is FuelEconomy.gov, which will let you search for vehicles by year, make and model, then see their gas mileage ratings as measured by the Environmental Protection Agency. If you’re really set on finding a fuel-efficient used car, you can start your search by looking at the most efficient models in your price range. Then you can search for local dealers that have those specific models on their lots.
RELIABILITY RATINGS
Another way to make your car go easy on your budget is by picking one that’s reliable. While making sure the regular maintenance has been performed is the most important way to ensure reliability, some specific cars have a better reputation than others. Consumer Reports has long
been the leading source for used-car reliability ratings. You can find their information in print or do what many used-car shoppers do: temporarily subscribe to one of their online options to see the latest data while you’re in the process of shopping for your next vehicle.
INSURANCE COST
The cost of insuring different vehicles can vary wildly from one car to the next, and the factors don’t always make sense to people outside the insurance industry. Before you buy your next car — especially if it’s a sporty or high-performance model — check with your insurance agent to see what full insurance coverage is going to cost you. Some cars that the insurance industry considers high-risk can cost a fortune to keep on the road.
RESALE VALUE
Finally, since you’re probably going to be selling your car someday, you should try to get some idea of which cars hold their value the best over time. Some brands and specific cars maintain a strong resale value for many years, but others drop like a rock. Knowing the difference might make you big money when you sell your car in a few years.

Winter driving habits improving in some areas temperature outside drops, the air inside a tire contracts and the pressure drops - one or two pounds for every 10-degree drop. Underinflation does not give tires better traction in the snow. Check your tires this winter season, and bring them up to correct pressure.
(BPT) - Whether it’s figuring out how to balance your checkbook, determining the healthiest snack, or attempting to pick up a new hobby, many people are looking for positive lifestyle changes and to be educated about how to be a better person. How you behave while behind the wheel is no different, and Hankook Tire’s latest Quarterly Gauge Index reveals that drivers can improve with a little simple education. Jumper cables are a common staple for those frigid mornings when you need to jumpstart a dead battery. The latest Gauge showed that 66 percent of Americans have found themselves stranded at some point in their lives. Although this is a common occurrence, 54 percent of drivers do not know how to properly jumpstart a car, and 42 percent are under the incorrect impression that they should connect the cables to the dead battery first when beginning the procedure.
to a pothole, 54 percent swerve around it, which is considered the incorrect approach, as swerving can cause your front wheel and tire to hit the edge of the pothole, causing significant damage to the car. When up against the pothole, don’t swerve or stop. Decrease your speed, take it head-on and slowly roll over it for the least amount of damage.
While many drivers can educate themselves on how to properly bring a dead battery back to life, others have to learn how to maneuver the wounds of a road - particularly potholes, which are every driver’s worst enemy. The Gauge showed that when a driver comes
Some good improvements have been reported, especially when it comes to texting while driving. Drivers have become more educated with this dilemma and are looking to improve. According to the Gauge, 52 percent of Americans say that they have in fact changed
the way they thought about texting and driving after having seen an advertisement related to the issue.
Choose the right tire - Make sure your tires are season-appropriate. Twenty-seven percent of drivers say their tires are what receive the most damange out of any other car part due to winter weather. The Hankook Winter i-cept evo is a durable, high-performance winter tire that is perfect through these tough winter weather conditions.
The new year is always an ideal time to turn things around, and here are some road resolutions to consider for these winter months: Pothole improvement - Tis the season for those inevitable, dreaded potholes, and 39 percent of drivers said they received damage from driving over one. If you can’t avoid a pothole, slow down before you hit it. But don’t brake directly over a pothole, which can actually cause more damage. Properly inflate your tires - As the
