2015 Ram ProMaster City is First Van to Tackle Ike Gauntlet [Video] - The Fast Lane
The 2015 Ram ProMaster City is the first commercial van to taste the Ike Gauntlet extreme towing test. Many full-size pickup trucks have curb weights more than this. The Jeep off-road trailer weighs 1,280 lbs with some camping gear in it. The ProMaster City is using a naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine and a 9-speed automatic transmission. Can it handle the load at the extreme elevation of the Ike Gauntlet. How will the brakes handle the downhill. The ProMaster City handled the test with just barely a slowdown. The brakes handled the downhill just fine, although the transmission does not have a pronounced “grade shifting” mode to assist with the downhill. This is by far the most we got in any other truck.
