What is the name of Dodge vans?

Historically, Dodge vans have carried names such as the Ram Van and the Grand Caravan. Today, the Dodge brand does not market a van; the current van lineup sits under Ram Trucks with the Ram ProMaster and Ram ProMaster City as the active models.


Historical van lineup


Over the decades, Dodge produced a range of vans for cargo and passenger use, spanning compact vans, full-size cargo vans, and the popular family minivans. Here are the main nameplates that defined Dodge’s van era.



  • Dodge A100 — a compact cargo van produced in the mid-1960s, known for its small size and light-duty utility.

  • Dodge Tradesman / Tradesman Deluxe — early- to mid- era full-size vans used for work fleets, long before the Ram brand.

  • Dodge Ram Van — the name used for full-size cargo and passenger vans from the 1970s into the early 2000s.

  • Dodge Caravan / Grand Caravan — the widely sold minivans, with the Grand Caravan serving as the larger, long-running variant through 2020.


These lines reflect Dodge’s evolution from practical work vans to family-focused minivans, culminating in a shift that placed the modern van identity under the Ram Trucks division.


Current status and the Ram ProMaster lineup


In the present day, Dodge no longer offers a dedicated van model under its own brand. The van business has been consolidated under Ram Trucks, which markets full-size and compact cargo vans for commercial and fleet use.



  • Ram ProMaster — a full-size front-wheel-drive cargo van (based on the Fiat Ducato platform), available in multiple wheelbases and roof configurations for varying load needs.

  • Ram ProMaster City — a compact cargo van designed for urban delivery and small-business use, offering a smaller footprint and maneuverability.


For buyers seeking a versatile cargo or passenger van in recent years, the Ram ProMaster family has become the default option within the broader Dodge-Ram lineage, reflecting the brand’s shift toward Ram Trucks for van-related products.


Notes on branding and regional differences


Branding varies by market. In North America, the van lineage continues under Ram, while some international markets still reference historical Dodge van names in older literature. This mirrors Stellantis’ global branding strategy that separates Dodge’s car-focused lineup from Ram’s commercial-vehicle expertise.


Summary


In brief, Dodge’s van names have included A100, Tradesman, Ram Van, Caravan, and Grand Caravan. Today, the Dodge brand does not offer a standalone van; the Ram ProMaster (and Ram ProMaster City) serves as the current van offering within the Ram Trucks portfolio. The legacy of Dodge vans lives on primarily through historical models and the ongoing Ram ProMaster family.
