The ProMaster 3500 cutaway is the starting point for box trucks, shuttles, camper builds and service bodies. Here are the configurations, the numbers an upfitter needs and how to spec one.
| Model | Wheelbase | Cab-to-axle | Overall length | Turning diameter |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3500 Cutaway 136 | 136 in | 81.3 in | 210.7 in | 40.7 ft |
| 3500 Cutaway 159 | 159 in | 104.3 in | 233.8 in | 46.8 ft |
| 3500 Cutaway 159 extended frame | 159 in | 104.3 in | 248.1 in | 46.8 ft |
The 136-in cutaway returns for 2026 with later availability. All three are 3500 models with the 276-hp 3.6L Pentastar V6 and an automatic transmission. Width is 82.1 in without mirrors.
Figures from Ram's 2026 ProMaster fleet buyer's guide. Your upfitter should confirm frame dimensions from Ram's body builder guide before building.
| Rating | ProMaster 3500 cutaway |
|---|---|
| Chassis payload (before body) | More than 5,200 lb, varying by model |
| Gross combined weight rating | 12,000 lb |
| Front axle rating | 4,629 lb |
| Rear axle rating | 5,004 to 5,291 lb, by model |
Chassis payload is measured before the body is installed. A box, shuttle or camper body and its equipment can weigh thousands of pounds, so the payload left for cargo or passengers is what remains after the upfit. Ask the body builder for the finished weight before you order.
| Body | Typical use |
|---|---|
| Box or cube van | Moving, rental, delivery, linen, food and beverage |
| Shuttle bus | Hotels, senior living, airports, churches |
| RV or camper | Motorhome and camper conversions |
| Service body | Trades that need exterior compartments |
Ram's Upfit Guide lets you browse upfits by vehicle and profession. Our commercial team can help you match a cutaway configuration to the body you need and coordinate with the upfitter.
The cutaway is the ProMaster's cab-chassis model: it has an open back that the body attaches to. If your job calls for a flatbed, dump body or a heavier service body, look at the Ram Chassis Cab, offered from 3500 to 5500 with a conventional truck frame and available four-wheel drive.
A cutaway has a van-style cab with an open back, so a body builder can attach a box, shuttle or camper body directly to the cab. A chassis cab has a closed truck cab and a bare frame for flatbeds and service bodies. For 2026, Ram offers the ProMaster as a cutaway; for a chassis cab, look at the Ram Chassis Cab 3500 to 5500.
The chassis carries more than 5,200 lb before the body is installed, depending on the model. The weight of the box or body comes out of that number, so the usable payload depends on the upfit.
Three configurations: a 136-in wheelbase with 81 in of cab-to-axle, a 159-in wheelbase with 104 in of cab-to-axle, and a 159-in extended-frame model with the same cab-to-axle and a longer frame.
Yes. Like every ProMaster, the cutaway is front-wheel drive with the 3.6L V6. With no driveshaft to the rear axle, body builders can keep floors low for shuttles, box trucks and RVs.
