March 8, 2011 , Indianapolis - The Ram Truck Brand today unveiled its new 2012 Ram Cargo Van.

The Ram Cargo Van -- or Ram C/V -- features solid sliding door, rear quarter window and backlight privacy panels in place of clear glass windows. However, buyers have the option of equipping their Ram C/V with several combinations of solid and glass panels, including a choice of solid or glass backlight.

"We see growth in the Class 1 light commercial vehicle market," said Fred Diaz, President and CEO -- Ram Truck Brand and Lead Executive for U.S. Sales, Chrysler Group LLC. "With its class-leading capability and a lower total cost of ownership, the highly versatile Ram Cargo Van is a great vehicle choice for small businesses and commercial fleets."

The Ram Cargo Van also receives a structural aluminum rear load floor. Two flooring options will be available, including one with a flat, uninterrupted, high-capacity surface. A second, optional floor provides through-the-floor access to three exclusive storage bins and load floor tie-downs.

With more than 25 years of minivan engineering behind it, and as the inventor of the first minivan-based cargo van, the Ram Truck brand understands the versatility needs for both small and large businesses. Ram C/V utilizes the convenience features and city-friendly dimensions that have made Chrysler Group minivans segment leaders, while maximizing cargo, convenience and capability attributes.

Ram C/V offers small businesses many competitive advantages. Among them, Ram C/V provides a Class 1 commercial vehicle-leading 1,800-lb. cargo payload and category-exclusive towing capability, up to 3,600 lbs. A 20-gallon fuel tank and 25 mpg highway also deliver best-in-class fuel range.

Ram Cargo Van is engineered to meet small business and commercial needs. A commercial-tuned ride and heavy-duty load-leveling suspension offer maximum hauling capability. A heavy-duty radiator and heavy-duty transmission oil cooler help meet heavier powertrain demands. Ram C/V is also engineered with unique hydraulic power-assist rack-and-pinion steering, front anti-sway bar and rear twist-beam axle with coil springs. Ram C/V has a maximum Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) of 8,750 lbs.

With standard electronic stability control (ESC), commercial load-tuned tire-pressure monitoring (TPM), four-wheel anti-lock disc brake system (ABS) and ideal command-of-the road seating, the Ram Cargo Van offers capability, comfort and convenience with great road manners.

@supr4killsall Only reason they renamed the caravan to ram C/V is because since its classified as a commercial vehicle it can handle more loads than the regular ones, plus they don't have rear windows. It would be cool if this van was longer and diesel powered.

Why does it still have the rear body panels WITH STUPID CUP HOLDERS? WHY THE FUCK AREN'T THEY EXTENDED (Longer wheel base)? WHOEVER IS THE DESIGNER OF THIS VAN, I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED!! I might not be the only one think about the caterers, uhaulers, etc. They will need a lot more space.

Chrysler please stop reusing your overstock vehicles and slapping another name on it. We all weren't fooled when it tried with Dodge Neon, Plymouth Neon, and Chrysler Neon. Dodge Charger and Dodge Magnum. Though I do admit, and tip my hat, to the survivor of these concepts are Chrysler Town and Country and Chrysler 300C. On another note,,, I LOVE MY 2011 RAM 1500 LARAMIE 4X4 CREW CAB. Keep building great trucks and cars.

For some reason I find this to be an odd car. I don't know why.
