Summary:

A modest hallelujah for this big people mover
By Professional Test Driver, NewCarTestDrive.com

Ram Wagons are solid, tough customers that can be expected to do a good job for a long time.

The Ram Wagon isn't quite as refined inside as the Ford vans, and it lacks the big V8 and diesel engine options available in the big vans from Ford, Chevy and GMC Truck.

But if absolute maximum towing and/or load-carrying capabilities aren't your top priority, the big Dodge certainly merits a look-see.

Its Magnum V8 engines compare favorably with the numbers from Ford and GM, there are plenty of civilizing add-ons available, and the pricing structure is attractive. We think the choir will be happy.

Overview:

You say the choir at your church is in open rebellion because the old church van has become too decrepit - and perhaps a little too holy - for occupancy by mortals?

They're saying, "No new van, no Christmas carol sing-off." Is that what's bothering you? Well lift up your hearts, brothers and sisters: Your Dodge dealer is prepared to solve thy problem.

Dodge, Ford and General Motors all offer full-size vans and window vans (known as wagons). But only Dodge offers one that's specially designated for church groups. It's called the Church Value package, and we're not sure whether it includes hymnals.

But it does seem clear that a big wagon capable of carrying up to 15 parishioners could just as easily transport the same number of non-parishioners. And we doubt your Dodge dealer will check your credentials or make you sing a few bars of Handel's Messiah before he'll sell you one.

The intriguing distinction of the Church Value package aside, Ram Wagons and Vans have a lot in common with their competitors from Ford and GM. They're big, rugged and can haul mass quantities - people, in the case of the wagon, cargo in the case of the van.

Distinctions, and they're subtle, lie in the area of powertrain choices, features, dealer proximity and how your local dealer stacks up in terms of service.
