The Ram C/V, which was quietly renamed as the C/V Tradesman for the 2014-MY, is a cargo version of the Dodge Grand Caravan minivan. It fills the gap between the full-size and compact vans and provides both affordability and utility. Photos courtesy of Chrysler/Ram.
Ram Trucks will offer the Ram Cargo Van alongside the ProMaster full-size van during the initial roll-out of the ProMaster and phase out its commercial minivan at a future date, a Ram spokesman said.
The entry of all-new vans will generate a host of upfit packages, offering new shelving/bin options for walk-in applications and high-roof configurations. These new models, along with new pickups, will re-energize the upfit market.

After decades of few models and even fewer options, the cargo van market is beginning to capture the attention and fill the needs of fleet managers.
