Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2019 Pro Master City.

Body TRUCKTransmission Automatic 9-spd

The 2019 Ram Pro Master City is a compact truck built on the VM platform, pairing a functional body style with an automatic 9‑speed transmission that delivers a modest 21 mpg city, 28 mpg highway and a combined 24 mpg according to EPA ratings. Its engineering emphasizes practicality, and the vehicle’s modest fuel economy is complemented by a straightforward powertrain layout that has proven dependable enough to register only five owner complaints across the model year, the majority of which center on the electrical system. A single recall was issued for the 2019 model, underscoring that while minor issues have surfaced, the Pro Master City remains one of the more reliable iterations in the line’s history, offering researchers a solid baseline of durability for further study.

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 2019 Ram Pro Master City dominate in one area — the electrical system, 2 of 5 reports (40%), well ahead of the next concern. None of this vehicle's 1 recall campaigns target the electrical system, so those reports read as owner-reported wear-and-tear rather than an acknowledged defect. 1 of the reports describe a crash and 0 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the electrical system 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.
