Ram is studying whether to add a large, heavy-duty commercial van to its lineup.
The brand may bring a version of the Iveco Daily to North America. The Daily features optional all-wheel drive.
1500: Ram engineers will redesign the 1500 in 2017 to improve fuel economy and cut weight. The pickup's 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine will be revised for better fuel economy. More light-duty 3.0-liter EcoDiesel engines will be available.
2500 and 3500: Ram will redesign its heavy-duty pickup lineup in 2018 for the 2019 model year to improve towing and hauling, and to make interior refinements.
ProMaster: A light freshening is planned in late 2017 on what may become Ram's medium-duty commercial van -- if the Iveco Daily derivative joins the lineup.
ProMaster City: The ProMaster City arrived in North America in early 2015. No product actions are planned before 2019.
Iveco Daily derivative: Still under consideration, the full-size cargo van would compete directly with the largest Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Ford Transit vans and feature load-leveling air suspension and optional awd.
