Dodge Mini Ram Van – the compact van beside the full-size Ram Van: 2.5, 3.0 and 3.3-litre four- and six-cylinders, automatic and long versions, 1.4 to 1.9 tonnes unladen weight
Dodge is the commercial and performance brand of the US carmaker Chrysler (today Stellantis). The Mini Ram Van filled out the big Ram Van line-up from below during the 1980s and early 1990s, aimed at trades and families wanting a more compact van. The type codes read directly off the names: 2.5, 3.0 and 3.3 give the engine displacement in litres, I stands for fuel injection, AUT for automatic transmission, 5 SPEED for the five-speed manual, LONG and LG for the extended body, and CUSTOM for an upgraded trim line.

The register lists here 10 versions with 2,501 to 3,301 cm³ displacement from four- and six-cylinders, unladen weights from 1,383 to 1,920 kg, gross weights from 2,140 to 2,727 kg and widths from 1,830 to 2,000 mm.
The Mini Ram Van represents the compact class of American vans, offered in Europe in small numbers through importers, where it competed with European vans such as the VW Transporter or Ford Transit; in North America it remained a niche model beside the brand's more successful minivans.
On used examples, the condition of the six-cylinder in the 3.0 and 3.3 versions, rust on sills and the load floor, the function of the automatic in the AUT versions, and parts supply, which is limited in Europe and usually runs through US-import specialists, all count, along with, on CUSTOM trim, the condition of the upholstery and extra equipment.
