What type of van does Dodge make?
Currently, Dodge does not manufacture a van under its own name; the van lineup is now handled by Ram, with the Ram ProMaster serving as the primary cargo van option.
The question reflects how Dodge’s branding has shifted over time. Historically, Dodge offered both passenger and cargo vans, including the Grand Caravan minivan and badge-engineered van variants, but in recent years the brand has redirected van offerings to the Ram lineup. Today, buyers looking for a van from the Dodge family would encounter the Ram ProMaster as the current van, rather than a Dodge-branded model. The Grand Caravan, a long-running family minivan, was discontinued after the 2020 model year, while the Sprinter badge eventually moved away from Dodge branding as well.
Current status
Before listing the key points, note the current state of Dodge’s van presence and how Ram now carries the banner in this segment.
- No Dodge-branded van is sold today in North America.
- The current van offering in the Dodge/Ram family is the Ram ProMaster cargo van.
- The Dodge Grand Caravan minivan was discontinued after the 2020 model year.
- Dodge briefly offered a badge-engineered Mercedes Sprinter in the mid-2000s, but the Dodge name was dropped from the Sprinter by 2010.
In short, if you’re seeking a van associated with the Dodge name today, you’ll be looking at Ram’s ProMaster lineup rather than a Dodge-branded model.
Historical Dodge van models
To understand the brand’s van legacy, here are notable Dodge van models that are no longer in production.
- Dodge Ram Van — a full-size cargo/passenger van produced roughly from 1971 to 2003, spanning multiple generations before the Ram branding consolidated.
- Dodge Sprinter — a badge-engineered version of the Mercedes Sprinter sold in the U.S. during the mid-2000s, with Dodge branding phased out around 2010.
- Dodge Grand Caravan — the long-running minivan introduced as a variant of the Caravan and produced until 2020, widely used for family transport.
These models illustrate Dodge’s historical presence in both cargo and passenger van segments; today, van offerings reside under the Ram banner, while Dodge itself focuses on other vehicle types.
What buyers should know today
For practical purposes, shoppers looking for a van within the Dodge brand should look to Ram’s van lineup, especially the Ram ProMaster series for cargo work and conversions. The brand-wide strategy keeps passenger-minivan duties in Chrysler and its brands (such as the Pacifica) rather than under Dodge.
Summary
As of 2025, Dodge does not produce a van under its own name. Ram now handles vans, led by the Ram ProMaster cargo van for commercial use. Dodge’s van legacy includes the Ram Van, the Dodge Sprinter, and the Grand Caravan minivan, but these models have been retired or rebranded. The current van option for consumers in the Dodge family is effectively the Ram ProMaster, with passenger minivans handled by other Chrysler brands.
