Compact cargo van, full-size work ethic
Drive a Cargo
The Ram Cargo packs a roomy cargo hold into a van that drives like a minivan. Ram built this two-seat, front-wheel-drive van — officially the Ram C/V Tradesman — on a minivan platform through 2015. Browse Ram rental options, and you'll find a Ram Cargo van rental that's easy to steer, park, and load.
On Turo, you book your Cargo from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup and drop-off that fit your plans. Pick your dates, load up, and tackle the job on your schedule.

Room to haul, made for city streets
The Cargo gives you 155.5 cu ft of cargo space and an 1,800-lb payload in a minivan-sized body. With just two seats up front, everything behind you is room for boxes, tools, or furniture. Dual sliding side doors let you load from either side — handy at a tight curb.
Strong V6 power
A 3.6L V6 delivers 283 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque, so the Cargo has muscle to spare when the back is full. A six-speed automatic handles the shifting, which keeps stop-and-go delivery runs simple. Merge onto the highway, climb a parking ramp, or pull away from a loading dock without fuss.
Need to bring a trailer along? The Cargo can tow up to 3,600 lbs, giving you extra capacity beyond what fits inside. Check the listing first to see whether the van you're booking is set up for towing.
Efficient on long runs
The Cargo earns 18 mpg city, 26 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined. That highway number pays off on cross-state moves, weekend market trips, and long delivery loops. A 20-gallon tank means fewer fuel stops between pickup and drop-off, even on a full day of driving.
It runs on regular gas, and its V6 is flex-fuel capable, so filling up is simple. Pull into any gas station, top off, and get back to the job. Fewer detours for fuel leave more of your day for loading, driving, and unloading.
Stand out with a Cargo
Yes, Ram makes a cargo van — the Ram C/V Tradesman, built through 2015 — and it shines when your passengers are boxes. Book one for an apartment move, small-business deliveries, market or event gear, or a furniture pickup across town. Compare more cargo van rentals on Turo to find the right fit for your haul.
Top Cargo features
Heavy-duty suspension
Three features set the Cargo apart: heavy-duty suspension, a minivan-sized footprint, and practical cabin tech.
The Cargo rides on a heavy-duty suspension tuned to carry up to 1,800 lbs. That's what lets a minivan-based van work like a dedicated hauler. Stack it with boxes, equipment, or flat-pack furniture, and the suspension is ready for it.
The trade-off is a firmer ride you'll feel when the cargo area is empty. Plan for a stiffer feel on the drive to pickup or the return trip — it's the price of real hauling capability. Once you know what to expect, it's easy to drive around.
Minivan-sized footprint
At 202.8 in long with a 121.2-in wheelbase, the Cargo fits standard parking spaces and driveways better than full-size vans. Its 39.1-ft turning diameter makes U-turns and tight lots far easier to handle. You get a work van's cargo hold without a work van's parking headaches.
That matters on moving day and delivery days alike. You can pull up to an apartment building, a storefront, or a narrow residential street without hunting for an oversized spot. Downtown deliveries and suburban driveways both feel manageable.
Practical cabin tech
Standard equipment covers the workday basics: cruise control, keyless entry, steering-wheel controls, and a tilt/telescoping wheel. You'll also find power windows and a power outlet to keep your phone charged between stops. Cruise control earns its keep on long highway stretches.
Some vans add Bluetooth, navigation, a rearview camera, or satellite radio. Those extras help when you're backing up to a loading door or finding a new address. Equipment varies by vehicle, so check the listing for the features you want before you book.
Top tips and things to know before renting a Cargo
Get to know your Cargo
Plan your load, know the van's limits, and check pricing before you book. Here's what to know.
The Cargo seats two — you and one passenger — so plan a separate ride for the rest of your crew. Measure your largest items before you book and compare them against the 155.5 cu ft of cargo space.
Need more height for tall furniture or equipment? Look at a Ford Transit rental or a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter rental for full-size space.
Cargo driving tips
A loaded cargo van drives differently than an empty one. Keep these tips in mind:
Stay under the 1,800-lb payload limit.
Secure every load so nothing shifts in turns or stops.
Leave extra braking distance when the van is loaded.
Use your side mirrors, since a full cargo area may limit rear visibility.
Expect a firmer ride when the van is empty.
How much does it cost to rent a Cargo?
Ram Cargo rental prices vary by location, dates, and trip length, because local vehicle owners set their own rates. Check current listings to see daily prices in your area.
Planning a longer project? Weekly or monthly discounts may apply, so explore long-term car rental options if you need the van for a while.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance for trips in the US, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
