When it comes to commercial fleets, every ounce of power matters – especially when choosing a proficient cargo van for business purposes. Having strong engine performance is a top priority and the 2021 Ram ProMaster from St. Paul Dodge in Alberta certainly delivers.The 2021 ProMaster comes standard with a robust 3.6L V6 gasoline engine that routes 280 hp through a six-speed automatic transmission, which is considered best-in-class power. This cargo van is also unique since it uses a front-wheel drivetrain, which can provide better handling on snowy inclines and icy streets when compared to rear-wheel-drive cargo vans. Towing capacity in the Ram is equally stout with an estimated 3,134 kg when properly equipped.
The 2021 Ford Transit, on the other hand, is fitted with a smaller 3.5L V6 that throws only 275 hp. This model is equipped with standard rear-wheel drive and a 10-speed automatic transmission. Conventional towing on the 2021 Transit is less than what you’d find with the 2021 ProMaster. The Ford cargo van delivers an estimated 2,312 kg in its base level form.

2021 Ram ProMaster Delivers Versatility to Two Hills

The 2021 Ram ProMaster – available from St. Paul Dodge in Alberta – fully embraces heavy loads with outstanding towing capacity of 3,134 kg (6,910 lbs) and a best-in-class standard V6 engine with 280 horsepower with 260 lb-ft of torque. But it also promises versatility.
When compared to its main rival, the 2021 Nissan NV Cargo Van, the ProMaster can accommodate more freight with its three wheelbase options, including a 300-cm short, 345-cm regular and 404-cm long wheelbase. The 2021 NV Cargo Van, on the other hand, only offers one wheelbase that measures 371 cm.
The Ram is the vehicle of choice for commercial fleets that need every cubic metre of space for cargo and equipment. In its most compact form, the 2021 ProMaster 1500 (with the short wheelbase and standard roof) swallows up 7,340 L of volume. Stepping up to the high roof model, which comes with the regular wheelbase, increases capacity to 9,993 L. To achieve the most cargo-carrying versatility, the 2021 ProMaster 3500 (with the available extended body, long wheelbase and high roof) defies convention with 13,107 L volume.Â
The 2021 NV simply cannot compare. With the standard roof, fleets gain 6,628 L of capacity, while the high roof model only provides a maximum of 9,149 L.Â

With the release of the 2021 Ram ProMaster at St Paul Dodge, Alberta fleets and small business owners receive more than cargo space and interior versatility. They also achieve superior engine performance with a standard V6. The same can’t be said for the ProMaster’s competition. With the 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Alberta commercial operators have to settle for a four-cylinder engine, which feels underpowered for the vehicle’s large size.Here is a closer look at the standard powertrains found on the 2021 Ram ProMaster and the 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter:
2021 Ram ProMaster
3.6-litre V6 gasoline engineÂ
280 horsepower
260 lb-ft of torque
Six-speed automatic transmissionÂ
Front-wheel drive
2021 Mercedes-Benz SprinterÂ
Turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder gasoline engine
188 horsepowerÂ
258 lb-ft of torque
Nine-speed automatic transmission
Rear-wheel drive
When it comes to get-up-and-go, the 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter simply doesn’t have enough horsepower to get this cargo van moving with any authority, especially when filled with a heavy load or travelling up a steep grade. The 2021 Ram ProMaster, on the other hand, has the guts needed to accelerate onto the highway, pass other vehicles and maneuver with ease. Best of all, you don’t have to climb the ProMaster’s trims (and price) to benefit from the 3.6-litre V6. This powerplant comes standard across all 2021 models.

Are you searching for a work van with leading tech to keep your commercial fleet safe on Alberta’s roads? Consider the 2021 Ram ProMaster from St. Paul Dodge. Unlike its competition – the Nissan NV Cargo Van – the Ram offers essential driver aids to help your crew feel confident when behind the wheel.All models of the 2021 ProMaster offer available blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-path detection, which uses dual wide-band radar sensors to scan the blind-spot zones behind the cargo van to help ensure safe manoeuvring. Forward collision warning is also available on all ProMaster platforms. This system provides both audible and visual warnings to alert the driver when it detects a potential frontal collision. If the driver doesn’t react in time, the system will step in to mitigate a possible collision.
The 2021 ProMaster also comes standard with Crosswind Assist. This driver-assist uses sensors to detect forces from sudden gusts and applies braking action to certain wheels to counteract the impact of the squalls. Windy conditions are no match for this cargo van.
The Nissan NV Cargo Van, in comparison, doesn’t offer blind-spot monitoring, forward collision warning or wind mitigation technologies in its fleet of commercial vehicles. The only driver assists you can expect to find in the Nissan variant are a rearview camera and rear sonar – both of which are also offered by the 2021 Ram ProMaster.

Are you searching for a muscle car with segment-leading power? You should check out the 2022 Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye from St. Paul Dodge in Alberta. Like its competitor, the 2022 Ford Mustang Shelby GT Fastback, this model is anchored by an intercooled supercharger V8 engine, except the Dodge delivers rocket-like acceleration for drag-strip-worthy performance.Here is a look at both muscle cars and their powertrain specs:
Â
2022 Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye
6.2L high-output supercharged Hemi V8
797 horsepower
707 lb.-ft. of torque
Rear-wheel drive
Eight-speed automatic transmission
2022 Ford Mustang Shelby GT Fastback
5.2L supercharged V8
760 horsepower
625 lb.-ft. of torque
Rear-wheel drive
Seven-speed automatic transmission
6.2L high-output supercharged Hemi V8

Eight-speed automatic transmission
2022 Ford Mustang Shelby GT Fastback
5.2L supercharged V8
760 horsepower
625 lb.-ft. of torque

With its larger engine and eight-speed automatic transmission, the 2022 Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye flies from zero to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds and can reach top speeds of 327 km/h. The 2022 Ford Mustang Shelby GT Fastback, on the other hand, can sprint from zero to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds, but it taps out at a top speed of only 289 km/h. Whether barrelling down back roads or weaving through turns on the track, every second and ounce of power counts, making the Dodge muscle car worth driving.

2022 Dodge Challenger vs. the Chevrolet Camaro in Smoky Lake

With the launch of the 2022 Dodge Challenger, Alberta drivers achieve more than power from its full range of engine options, including a 717-hp supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 on the SRT Hellcat. Performance is also optimized with this sport sedan’s suspension system, which – unlike the 2022 Chevrolet Camaro – delivers exceptional stability.Underneath the 2022 Challenger’s athletic body is a short and long arm (SLA) front suspension, which has vertical upper and lower control arms which boost the negative camber. With this system, the muscle car achieves exceptional balance since more tire surface has contact with the road. The SLA front suspension also ensures consistent wheel alignment, allowing the Challenger to handle with precision, even under strenuous conditions.
The 2022 Chevy Camaro, on the other hand, comes equipped with a MacPherson strut suspension with dual lower ball joints and monotube struts. Due to the suspension’s lengthy vertical assembly, the system doesn’t provide similar road contact for the tires like the Challenger’s SLA front suspension. The result is compromised cornering and less stable performance – and when choosing a sport sedan, nimble performance certainly matters.

Are you searching for a muscle car with sizzling acceleration? You’ll want to check out the 2022 Challenger, which is arriving soon at St. Paul Dodge in Alberta. When compared to its main competitor, the 2022 Chevrolet Camaro, the Dodge delivers superior performance from its base powerplant.Under the hood, the 2022 Challenger is equipped with Canada’s best-selling engine – a 303-hp 3.6L Pentastar Variable Valve Timing V6, which can cover a zero to 100 km/h time of 5.3 seconds. Paired with a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission and standard rear-wheel drive, you’ll enjoy this muscle car’s lively handling. V6 models of the Challenger can also be equipped with optional all-wheel drive for enhanced traction in slick conditions.
The 2022 Chevy Camaro, comparatively, uses a milder turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder with 275 hp and a six-speed manual transmission. This model isn’t as swift as the Challenger – it needs 5.4 seconds to get to 100 km/h from a stopped position. When you crave powerful acceleration, every second counts. The Camaro is also only available in rear-wheel drive. For our Alberta winters, the Dodge’s all-wheel drive is certainly advantageous.

If you’re searching for a midsize truck to seek outdoor adventures, the 2022 Jeep Gladiator Mojave and the 2022 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road have likely caught your attention. Both models have incredible off-pavement prowess but choosing the Jeep – which is available at St. Paul Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in AB – will net your more powerful performance and interior space.Anchoring the 2022 Gladiator Mojave is a 285-hp 3.6L V6 engine, while the 2022 Tacoma gets a smaller 3.5L V6 with only 278 horses. Both midsize options include four-wheel drive; however, the Jeep uses a six-speed manual transmission for hands-on action, unlike the Toyota’s automatic transmission. Rolling on larger 17-inch wheels with off-road specific tires, the 2022 Gladiator also grips onto rugged surfaces with precision compared to the 2022 Tacoma’s 16-inch wheels and all-terrain tires.
Providing an open-air experience with a standard soft top or an available hard top roof, the 2022 Gladiator Mojave delivers more interior space for passengers. The Jeep’s rear seat head and legroom (108.7 cm and 97.3 cm, respectively) are more generous than the Toyota’s 97.3 cm of headroom and 82.8 cm of legroom. While off-roading with a cabin full of passengers, it’s nice to have extra stretch-out space for added comfort.

The 2022 Gladiator and the 2022 Chevrolet Colorado are midsize pickups with robust off-road prowess. However, the Jeep – which is coming to St. Paul Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram – has certain qualities that set it apart from its competition, making it the better choice for adventuresome drivers in Alberta.Under the hood, the 2022 Gladiator comes standard with a 3.6L V6, which generates impressive power with 285 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. The 2022 Colorado, on the other hand, is equipped with a 2.5L four-cylinder, which creates a modest 200 hp and 191 lb-ft of torque. You also get standard 4x4 at the base level in the Jeep versus the Chevy’s rear-wheel drive. With 25.4 cm of ground clearance, the Gladiator out-beats the Colorado’s 21 cm. The Chevrolet truck also features a low-hanging front air dam, which significantly limits its off-road potential.
Inside the cabin, the Gladiator is more spacious than the Colorado with 97.3 cm of rear-seat legroom versus the Chevy’s 90.9 cm. Taller passengers will also appreciate the Jeep’s 108.7 cm of rear-seat headroom, which surpasses the Chevrolet’s 97.3 cm.

If you’re shopping for a powerful, capable and roomy midsize truck, the stylish Gladiator is an easy choice.
