2015 Ram Pro Master City

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2015 Pro Master City.

Body SUVTransmission Automatic 9-spd

The 2015 Ram Pro Master City is built on the VM chassis and classified as an SUV, pairing its compact platform with a nine‑speed automatic transmission and a 5.5‑quart 0W‑20 API‑rated engine oil capacity. Its fuel‑efficiency ratings of 21 mpg city, 28 mpg highway and a combined 24 mpg reflect the modest yet practical nature of the model, while the power‑train emerged as the most frequent source of the 87 owner complaints recorded for the year. With 14 recalls documented, the 2015 iteration sits at a modest reliability midpoint in the Pro Master City’s history, indicating that while the vehicle is generally dependable, its power‑train issues merit closer scrutiny for researchers evaluating long‑term durability.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 10,000 mi; spark plugs every 100,000 mi; coolant every 10,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 10,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

Owner complaints about the 2015 Ram Pro Master City lead in one area — the power train, 16 of 87 reports (18%), well ahead of the next concern. None of this vehicle's 4 recall campaigns target the power train, so those reports read as owner-reported wear-and-tear rather than an acknowledged defect. 2 of the reports describe a crash and 1 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the power train pattern above. These are tallies of what owners actually reported to the federal government, not an editorial score — and higher-selling models naturally rack up more reports.
