If you're searching for a high-capacity commercial van that can handle serious work demands, this 2023 RAM ProMaster Cargo Van 3500 High Roof Extended for sale at Best of Michigan Auto Sales in Detroit, MI is worth a close look. With a front-wheel-drive layout, a proven 3.6-liter V6, and a 9-speed automatic transmission, this van is built for businesses and owner-operators who need maximum payload and interior volume without compromise. At just over 131,000 miles, it's a well-traveled unit — but as you'll read below, the ProMaster is engineered for exactly this kind of commercial use.
About This 2023 RAM ProMaster Cargo Van 3500 High Roof Extended
The 3500 High Roof Extended configuration is the largest and most capable variant in the ProMaster lineup, offering one of the tallest and longest cargo compartments of any van in its class. That means full standing room inside the cargo area, ideal for delivery operations, mobile service units, medical supply transport, contractor rigs, or any mobile workspace build-out. With 131,905 miles on the odometer, this van has clearly been put to work — which is exactly what it was designed to do. For buyers who understand commercial vehicle lifecycles, a 2023 model year means the drivetrain and chassis are still relatively young in terms of design, and parts availability is excellent.2023 RAM ProMaster Cargo Van Performance and Engine
3.6-Liter Pentastar V6 with 9-Speed Automatic
Under the hood sits RAM's 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 with Variable Valve Timing (VVT), paired to a 9-speed automatic transmission. This engine is one of FCA's most-produced and most-trusted powerplants, used across everything from Jeep Wranglers to Chrysler minivans — meaning parts, service, and expertise are widely available throughout Detroit and Wayne County. The 9-speed automatic helps the engine stay in its power band efficiently, which translates to better fuel economy on highway runs and smoother performance under load.
The ProMaster's front-wheel-drive architecture — inherited from the Fiat Ducato platform — gives it a flat cargo floor, a low load floor height, and a tight turning radius compared to rear-wheel-drive competitors. For urban delivery routes and tight loading docks throughout Detroit and the greater Wayne County area, that FWD layout is a genuine operational advantage.RAM ProMaster Features and Interior
Maximum Cargo Space and Functionality
The High Roof Extended body style gives this ProMaster an interior cargo height of approximately 6 feet, with a cargo length in the extended wheelbase configuration that easily accommodates euro-pallet loading and tall equipment. The cargo area is bare-metal ready for custom upfitting — whether you're installing shelving, bulkheads, refrigeration units, or work benches, the ProMaster's interior dimensions make customization straightforward.
The cab area includes a driver-focused layout with basic but functional controls, designed to minimize distraction during long delivery days. Depending on configuration, features such as a backup camera, Bluetooth connectivity, and cruise control may be present — buyers are encouraged to inspect the vehicle in person at Best of Michigan Auto Sales to confirm the exact feature set on this specific stock unit.RAM ProMaster Reliability and Ownership
The Pentastar 3.6-liter V6 in the ProMaster has an excellent track record for longevity in fleet applications. Many fleet-operated ProMasters reach 200,000 miles and beyond with consistent oil changes and routine maintenance. The 9-speed transmission did have some early teething issues in prior model years, but by the 2023 model year, software calibration and hardware revisions have made it significantly more refined and dependable.
One area owners should be attentive to is routine maintenance on the cooling system and transmission fluid — both are especially important in a high-mileage commercial application. The ProMaster's common-rail fuel system and VVT components also benefit from quality oil and timely filter changes. Overall, for a commercial van at this mileage, a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is always a smart move, and the ProMaster's accessibility under the hood makes it easy to service.Why Buy From Best of Michigan Auto Sales in Detroit, MI

How many miles is too many for a RAM ProMaster?

At 131,905 miles on a 2023 model, the van still has significant usable life remaining — especially if routine service records are in order. A pre-purchase inspection is always recommended for high-mileage commercial vehicles.

Is front-wheel drive good for a cargo van?
For most commercial applications — especially urban delivery, service work, and route driving — FWD works very well in the ProMaster.
