Is 85 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2023 and 2026, roughly 24 a year, which is more than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.

How does it compare with other years? The 2023 has 85 complaints on file, more than the 2022 (64) and more than the 2024 (11). Of the 11 model years of the Ram Promaster we cover, the 2021 has the most (109). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
