Ram ProMaster Extended Warranty: Cost, Coverage and Plans

Ram ProMaster factory and extended warranty overview

All new Ram trucks and vans, including ProMaster models, come with a comprehensive bumper-to-bumper warranty. This warranty covers eligible defects in your vehicle for three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. Other coverage in the manufacturer’s warranty includes:

• Corrosion on all panels for three years and unlimited mileage
• Corrosion on outer panels for five years and unlimited mileage
• Powertrain warranty for gasoline vehicles for five years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first
• Powertrain warranty for diesel vehicles for five years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first
• Powertrain warranty for 2026 ProMaster vans for 10 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first
• Federal emission warranty for five years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first, and eight years or 80,000 miles on select components
• Emission performance warranty for five years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first
• Noise emission warranty for the life of the vehicle
• Limited tire warranty for two years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first

Most of these manufacturer warranties only apply to the original owner, and only the powertrain warranty transfers to secondary and subsequent owners. It’s also worth noting that the above warranties stand even if you use your ProMaster for commercial purposes.

If you want to extend your factory warranty coverage, you’ll need to purchase an extended warranty before your initial coverage expires. While plans from third-party vehicle warranty companies vary, official FlexCare plans can extend your coverage up to eight years or 125,000 miles.

Ram ProMaster extended warranty coverage options

There are three warranty options available from FlexCare (formerly Mopar Vehicle Protection), and you can purchase one directly from the Ram ProMaster manufacturer. Lower-tier plans are more affordable, but these less expensive vehicle warranties cover fewer components and systems than the pricier options.

• FlexCare Extended Care: This is the most basic option that primarily covers the vehicle’s powertrain components, including its engine, transmission and drivetrain. It also covers some parts of the AC system, most steering components and your key fob.
• FlexCare Extended Care Plus: This plan includes everything in the lower-level tier, plus some brake system and electrical system components, the instrument panel, power motors for seats/windows and the front suspension system. In total, it protects more than 800 parts and components.
• FlexCare Extended Care Premium: This is the most comprehensive plan, covering more than 5,000 parts. It includes everything in the Extended Care and Extended Care Plus tiers, as well as rear suspension, safety and security systems, most electrical components, most brake components, the body and more.

Ram ProMaster additional benefits and other coverage

All Ram extended warranty plans from FlexCare include these additional perks:

• Roadside assistance up to $100 per occurrence, including flat-tire replacement, gas delivery, battery jumpstarts and lockout services
• Towing for roadside assistance up to $100 per occurrence
• Car rental or taxi reimbursement for single-day covered repairs, up to $45
• Car rental or taxi reimbursement for multiple-day covered repairs, up to $45 per day and $175 total per occurrence
• Trip interruption protection for breakdowns that occur more than 100 miles from home, up to $1,000
• Key fob replacement, up to three total replacements or $600 total, whichever comes first

FlexCare also offers FlexCare Advantage, which is available for Ram ProMaster owners who have one of the extended warranty plans but want even more protection after that warranty expires. FlexCare Advantage provides similar coverage to your initial plan but extends it up to 15 years or 160,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Ram ProMaster extended warranty cost factors

Unfortunately, the only way to get an accurate estimate for your Ram ProMaster extended warranty plan is to visit a dealership or contact FlexCare directly. However, we compiled some average estimates based on Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge-Ram dealership sites:

• Extended Care: $1,400 to $2,800
• Extended Care Plus: $2,000 to $3,300
• Extended Care Premium: $2,800 to $4,500

This is about in line with pricing from third-party warranties, which range from $1,800 to $5,000, on average. Keep in mind that many warranty companies don’t cover vehicles used for commercial purposes, so you may not be able to get a third-party warranty for your ProMaster.

It’s also important to note that pricing can vary widely based on the following factors:

• Coverage tier: The level of coverage you want is the biggest cost factor, with bumper-to-bumper warranty plans costing about twice as much as basic powertrain warranties.
• Model year: Older vehicles are more likely to experience issues and breakdowns than newer ones, so you may pay more to cover an older model.
• Current mileage: Problems become more common as your van’s mileage goes up, so warranty prices increase with higher mileage.
• Deductible amount: FlexCare gives you options for your deductible. The lower your deductible, the less you’ll pay out of pocket per breakdown, but the higher your upfront plan costs will be.
• Payment option: Paying in cash gives you the lowest long-term cost, while financing your extended warranty may mean paying interest that improves upfront affordability but increases your total. FlexCare does offer an interest-free payment plan, however.

Ram ProMaster extended warranty buying tips

You’re not required to purchase an extended warranty for your vehicle, and there’s never a guarantee that it will be financially worthwhile. If you’re weighing the decision to buy an extended service contract for your ProMaster, use the tips below to help you decide which, if any, FlexCare extended warranty option is right for you.

1. Make sure you’re still eligible for coverage: You can only purchase a FlexCare plan if your ProMaster is still under its factory warranty, which means it’s newer than three years old and has fewer than 36,000 miles.
2. Decide the coverage level you want: If your ProMaster is eligible for an extended warranty, decide if you want basic coverage for major powertrain systems, comprehensive bumper-to-bumper coverage or something in between. Consider your vehicle’s age, mileage and intended use when deciding.
3. Consider what’s available: You should compare plans from multiple providers whenever possible. Every warranty provider may not cover commercial vehicles, so only consider those that do if you use your ProMaster for work.
4. Get multiple quotes: Once you narrow down companies that will cover your ProMaster, get apples-to-apples quotes from each to compare.
5. Read your contract carefully: Review your contract thoroughly, paying close attention to any exclusions.
6. Be sure you understand maintenance requirements: Check your contract for Ram maintenance requirements. Some vehicle warranty providers, including FlexCare, will deny coverage if you fail to carry out routine maintenance.
7. Check transferability if you plan to sell: Read the contract section about transferability, as this could come into play if you sell your ProMaster before the warranty expires.
