Should You Buy the 2026 Ram ProMaster?
Good is the standing for this model year, and it ranks among the stronger of nine scored Promaster years. Against other 2026 trucks it sits well below average, so the good rating reflects the Promaster's own history more than the class. The 2025 model also rates good, but its numbers are worse, with three complaints and four recalls.
Owners have filed one complaint, which works out to 0.7 per 10,000 sold. The data does not say what it was about, so there is no pattern of symptoms to describe. One recall covers the engine and engine cooling. The records give no further detail on it. A new model year has had little time to collect complaints, so a low count says little about long-term durability.
Before buying, run the VIN through federal recall records and confirm the engine and engine cooling recall has been completed. Ask the seller for paperwork that shows it. If you are weighing a 2025 instead, check that all four of its recalls were handled.

10 questions from 2026 Ram ProMaster owners.
My windows don’t work
I’m having a problem with my rear windows and they won’t go down I was told to fix replace the main power switch and I did that and my rears don’t work I also noticed that my passenger window doesn’t go down unless the driver rolls it down with their switch More than a year
Ram 3500 will not start
When trying to start the truck the starter clicks once but will not turnover. Any idea what to check. Started today
Vibration and droning sound in vehicle while driving
The issues are at an rpm at 1050 at any speed keeping it steady in this exact range. If you go slower it will drop a gear and is fine. If you go above this rpm in this gear it goes away. They changed the transmission valve body and updated software. This didn't fix the problem. What it did do is raise the idle rpm from 500 to 550 and lowered the warmup rpm, which was much higher. I've been on 2 tech rides 1 to show him the issues that he could not duplicate, then he drove and replicated issues. Another issue l brought it in for was the clunking when slowing down to a stop. It seems fixed for now only the clunking issue. Now 1/7/2026 they are telling me that the vehicle is within normal operating conditions. I have less than 7800 miles on a brand new 2023 Ram 1500 mild hybrid. What would correct this problem would be for the transmission computer to drop to a lower gear just above the 1050 rpm to avoid lugging the engine. More than a year
