USCar Trader import service
Choose a specific vehicle. Where data is available, its detail page shows the import cost calculation. We assess any possible duty benefit with you before purchase.
Important: A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case. Please contact us before purchase; we review the possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support through the process. Import VAT and other costs are assessed separately.
CarHub · RAM
The RAM ProMaster City is a compact cargo and passenger van that RAM sold in North America from 2015 to 2022.
Model profile
RAM launched the ProMaster City for the 2015 model year to compete in the small-van segment against the Ford Transit Connect and Nissan NV200. It was essentially the European Fiat Doblò with RAM badging, US-market lighting and equipment, and a warranty and dealer network suited to American buyers. The van ran through to 2022 with only minor updates, when RAM discontinued it in North America.
Powertrain and equipment
Every US ProMaster City used the same powertrain: a 2.4-litre Tigershark inline-four producing around 178 hp and 174 lb-ft, driving the front wheels through a nine-speed automatic (the 948TE).
Two body configurations were offered: the Tradesman cargo van with a solid or windowed bulkhead and minimal rear glass, and the Wagon passenger version (marketed as SLT) with seating for up to five and full rear windows. Both used the same long-wheelbase body.
Vehicle selection
Many ProMaster Citys led hard fleet lives as delivery and trade vans, so the US used pool skews toward higher mileage and cosmetic wear.
The ProMaster City is a niche import into Europe precisely because its Fiat Doblò sibling is already sold here.

Pre-purchase review
The ProMaster City is generally durable in the way work vans need to be, but a few items recur.If expressly commissioned, feasible at the vehicle location and approved by the seller, USCar Trader can arrange a driving assessment to document observable shift quality, shudder, hesitation or driveline noise; service and repair records are reviewed separately.
Germany and Europe
A US ProMaster City carries amber side markers, an mph speedometer, US headlight aim and no rear fog lamp — all standard registration items.
Typical work includes retrofitting a rear fog lamp, adapting the headlights and documenting the odometer. As a van, it may also face weight and payload documentation for its registration class.
USCar Trader services
As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.
Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.
Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.
Import process
The assessment depends on the specific vehicle and the circumstances of the transaction. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review any possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are considered separately.
Questions and answers
Whether a duty benefit may be available for the specific vehicle is assessed individually. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review the case and provide non-binding support through the process.
No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case.

Import VAT and other taxes or costs are assessed separately under the applicable rules and the circumstances of the individual case. A blanket answer for every vehicle would not be reliable.
A single 2.4-litre Tigershark petrol four of about 178 hp with a nine-speed automatic; no diesel or manual was offered in the US.
Tradesman is the cargo van; Wagon is the passenger version with rear seating and windows.
Nine-speed transmission shift quality, 2.4 engine oil consumption, and heavy-use wear from fleet life.
It is a niche choice — for the specific US RAM version or a collector — since the underlying van is already available here.
