Staten Island’s fast-paced streets demand more than just cargo carriers—they require work vans that double as business tools. At iDeal Auto Sales, we help local business owners and fleet operators choose between two of the most reliable options on the market: the Ram ProMaster and the Ford Transit.

Whether you’re managing deliveries, supporting a construction crew, or building a shuttle fleet, these commercial vans deliver a combination of performance, versatility, and upfit potential designed to streamline operations.


Ram ProMaster – A Top Commercial Van for Staten Island

The Ram ProMaster is a top contender for business owners navigating tight NYC roadways. Its front-wheel-drive system and flat load floor (with no rear driveshaft hump) enhance maneuverability and create more usable cargo space.

Key Benefits:

  • Offers up to 593 cubic feet of cargo volume

  • Powered by a 280-hp 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine and a 9-speed automatic transmission

  • Delivers 6,910 lbs payload capacity and 5,100 lbs towing

  • Provides 18 MPG city / 23 MPG highway, making it best-in-class for gas-powered vans

  • Fits perfectly in narrow areas like Forest Ave or Hylan Blvd, thanks to the 136-inch wheelbase

Smart Features Include:

  • ParkView® Rear Backup Camera

  • Blind Spot Monitoring

  • Uconnect® 5 infotainment system

Unlike many vans, the ProMaster is engineered specifically for urban fleets that value both power and compact agility.


The Ford Transit: The Customization Champion

When your business needs are complex, the Ford Transit steps up with multiple configurations and advanced drivetrain options. It adapts easily to nearly any industry—from refrigerated food delivery to healthcare transport.

Why It Stands Out:

  • Choose from multiple roof heights (up to 84.3″) and three wheelbases

  • Engine options include:

    • 310-hp EcoBoost V6 with 400 lb-ft of torque

    • 2.0L EcoBlue Diesel with 317 lb-ft of torque

  • Configurable as a cargo van, crew cab, or passenger shuttle

Popular Custom Upfits:

  • Refrigerated builds compatible with Thermo King® for perishables

  • Wheelchair-accessible shuttles for healthcare and paratransit

  • Shelving and ladder racks for contractors and utility teams

Because of its modularity, the Ford Transit is ideal for scaling operations or tailoring vans to multiple job types within a fleet.
