The title could also have been given to the Nissan NV200, since the Chevy van is really nothing more than a NV200 slightly redesigned by the American manufacturer. The back can take in 4'x8's – the standard measure of acceptability for many users - while the van's reasonable size makes city driving easier.

The Ram ProMaster nabs top spot on the CBB podium for 2020. And second spot, and third spot. Ranking first is the most rugged of the ProMaster trio, a model that is highly regarded especially for its surprisingly vast interior space. Demand is quite strong in this category of commercial vehicles.
