RAM ProMaster ladder rack guide

The RAM ProMaster, from 2013 on, is a common trades van in Ontario because of the low load floor and the wide cargo box. Roof racks for it are vehicle-specific. We carry Vantech H1, GFY and H3 kits for this van, and we confirm the roof height and wheelbase before every order.

Roofs and wheelbases we list

Our catalog treats the 2013 and newer ProMaster as a low roof or a high roof. There is no medium roof in our ProMaster fitment list, so if someone describes a "medium" ProMaster we will still check the door sticker rather than guess.

Wheelbases in the catalog are:

• 118 in, listed on the low roof.
• 136 in, listed on the low roof and the high roof.
• 159 in, listed on the high roof, including a 159 in extended high roof.

If your van does not match those pairings, send us the sticker or a wheelbase measurement. How to measure your van explains both.

The three rack lines for the ProMaster

The H1 ladder rack for RAM ProMaster (2013+) is the core kit. It is vehicle-specific, in 2-bar or 3-bar, steel or aluminum, black or white, with an optional rear roller. Ratings are 500 lb for 2 bars and 750 lb for 3 bars, within your roof limit.

The GFY heavy duty 3-bar steel rack is listed for the RAM ProMaster 2013+ and, separately, for the 2013+ low roof. It is a 3-bar galvanized steel rack at a sharper price, with the kit cut for one van and roof height. We confirm that roof before ordering.

The H3 aluminum 3-bar rack is also listed for the 2013 and newer ProMaster. It is a lighter aluminum kit with low-profile, extra-wide crossbars, built so the mounts land on that roof.

The compact ProMaster City is a different van (2015+, 122 in wheelbase) with its own H1, GFY compact, H3 and J-Series kits. Do not order a full-size ProMaster rack for a City, or the other way around.

Choosing a kit

Start with H1 if you want steel or aluminum and a 2-bar or 3-bar choice on a vehicle-specific mount. Pick GFY if you want a 3-bar steel rack and a sharper price. Pick H3 if you want aluminum and a lower-profile 3-bar look. Add a rear roller if you load from the back: the H1 kit can include one, and GFY or H3 use the matching roller kit. A rear hook-on access ladder is listed for both the ProMaster high roof and low roof.

Colour and material follow the same pattern as our other full-size vans. H1 is steel or aluminum in black or white. GFY is galvanized steel with a black or white powder coat. H3 is aluminum with a lower-profile bar. None of those choices changes the 125 lb per mount rating on H1 and H3. A 2-bar kit stays at 500 lb and a 3-bar kit stays at 750 lb, within the roof limit.
