Ram 1500 FAQs

• How much is a Ram 1500 in Australia?

  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.

• Is the Ram 1500 reliable?

  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.

• Who is Ram owned by?

  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.
