New Ram Van Commercial....Another Attempt to clown ford.
After snow flooded large swaths of the nation, Ram showed off the prowess of its front wheel drive ProMaster in a short new commercial, showing the van racing a Ford Transit up a hill in Houghton, Michigan.
It did not take long before the Transit got stuck on the mild 20% grade, in fairly shallow snow.
A Ram spokesman wrote the video was filmed while the vans were empty, but that they had the same results when the vans were loaded up to half their payload capacity.
Both vans are relatively new to the US, but are based on established European designs. ProMaster has front wheel drive and a slightly wider interior; unlike the Fiat Ducato, it has a Chrysler powertrain, along with many suspension modifications for greater durability and capacity. A Fiat diesel and transmission have just become available.

Meanwhile I spotted that vintage Aerostar ad.I remember in the 90's FORD running the same AD idea for there AWD aerostar VS the FWD caravan they drove up an incline until a strip of slippery material the same length as there wheelbase which the AWD van crossed but the 2WD vans could not
And anyone remember these old F-150 ads showing carrying a Chevy, pulling a Dodge (and a GMC in the 1987 ad)?
I was going to post the GMC Safari AWD ad showing the van going down a ski jump & stopping at the bottom, then reversing back up the jump. And then I haven't seen it on YouTube. :brick
