The Ram 1500 starts from a price of $79,950 for the basic trim level Commercial 1500 Express (4x4). At the top of the range, the Ram Ute 1500 Laramie (4x4) will set you back to the tune of $109,950. Both of these prices are the manufacturer's suggested retail price, so be sure to bargain, and also set aside some extra money for dealer delivery, stamp duty and on-road costs.
Like every other car on the market, the Ram 1500 has been the subject of recalls, most notably two separate ones in 2020. These related to potential visibility issues as well as a manufacturing defect on a select number of vehicles where there was a risk that coolant could leak into the intake manifold and potentially lead to a fire. With the company quick to address these defects, you can be sure that Ram is all over the issue now. Otherwise, however, the Ram 1500 is a solid car built to handle a lot of rough and tumble thanks to its rugged, hefty and sturdy frame.
Ram was historically a part of the Dodge brand before being separated out as a unique marque to focus on pick-up trucks, while Dodge retained its focus on passenger vehicles and roadsters. Dodge was itself acquired by the Chrysler Group, which then merged with Fiat to form Fiat-Chrysler. More recently, however, Stellantis has become the parent company to Fiat-Chrysler after a mega-merger with French auto-maker Groupe PSA, making Stellantis the owner of Ram as well as a host of other brands.
Converted imports aren’t the first thing on everyone’s mind when it comes to new vehicle choices, however it would be remiss to overlook them entirely. After all, how else would you gain access to a dual-cab 4x4 V8 barbarian like the Ram 1500? If first impressions are everything, then this one hits it out of the park. It’s got tough and sturdy looks befitting the American pick-up truck persona. The centrepiece of the series is a best in class 5.7L V8 Hemi engine, which spits out 291kW of power and 556Nm of torque. Surprisingly, it’s not overly demanding on fuel either. Not many cars of this genre can go toe to toe with that! Between the long wheelbase, independent front suspension and eight-speed auto transmission, the mechanics make for a slick connection to the road. If opting for a shorter final drive ratio you’re equipped with as much as 4500kg braked towing capacity - nothing else comes quite as close! The Ram 1500 also defies one perception associated with large pick-up trucks, delivering solid off-road capabilities courtesy of locking centre differential and an on-demand transfer case. This is no ordinary dual-cab truck, it’s got X-factor about it owing to wonderful practicality, a serene cabin and pure, unadulterated power.
With its maximum 4500kg towing capacity, the RAM 1500 should tow 3000kg as if it’s not there, right?
Big, brash and brutish. But can the Ram 1500 survive a weekend bashing around in the bush?
