Sherman Ram – Will the 2026 Ram ProMaster 2500 Carry What Glenview, IL Contractors Need?
Contractors and mobile service pros want clear answers about space and strength before they commit to a new van. If you work around Glenview, IL and you are weighing the 2026 Ram ProMaster® 2500, here is a focused look at the cargo dimensions and payload capability that matter most on real jobs.
The ProMaster 2500 lineup offers two wheelbases and two roof heights that meaningfully change what you can fit. On the 136-inch wheelbase, you can choose Low Roof with 304 cubic feet of space or High Roof with 353 cubic feet. Step up to the 159-inch wheelbase High Roof and cargo volume expands to 420 cubic feet. The cargo length stretches up to 145.9 inches, cargo height reaches up to 76 inches, and the maximum cargo width is a wide 75.6 inches (with 55.8 inches between the wheel wells). Those measurements make it easier to stand materials on edge, fit modular shelving, and load standard pallets through the swing-out rear doors.

Beyond pure space, the ProMaster® 2500 backs up daily hauling with stability and braking confidence. The van’s Electronic Stability Control with Crosswind Assist helps keep you composed on blustery days, while 4-wheel ABS with predictive brake assist supports controlled stops when you are carrying heavy loads. The front-wheel-drive architecture keeps the load floor low, making it easier to step in and out across a full day of deliveries or service calls.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can the 2026 Ram ProMaster® 2500 handle palletized loads?
Yes. With a maximum cargo width of 75.6 inches and 55.8 inches between the wheel wells, the ProMaster 2500 is designed to accommodate standard pallets. The swing-out rear doors and low step-in height aid forklift and manual loading.
What payload ratings should contractors expect?
Payload capacity reaches up to 4,400 lbs depending on configuration. Your exact number will vary with wheelbase, roof height, and selected equipment, so it is wise to verify on a build sheet before finalizing an upfit plan.
Is the High Roof worth it for tall cargo or interior shelving?
If you often carry tall items, need more shelving tiers, or prefer the ability to stand up while organizing gear, the High Roof’s up to 76-inch cargo height is a big advantage and can improve productivity onsite.
How does the van perform on suburban routes with tight turns?
The front-wheel-drive layout and tight turning radius (as small as 20.4 feet on 136-inch WB models) make parking lots, cul-de-sacs, and alley docks easier to navigate during busy schedules.
When you are comparing upfits, map equipment by width, length, and height to the van’s interior dimensions, and plan weight distribution so heavy items sit low and forward for balance. If you need help, Sherman Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram can measure gear with you and walk through layout options that match your trade’s flow.
