RAM Trucks Australia has released its all-new RAM 3500 Laramie, completing the roll-out of the range of RAM trucks here. Following on the heels of the recent 2500 heavy-duty and earlier in 2021, the new 1500 Laramie and Limited models RAM Trucks Australia now claims to have the most comprehensive range of official, factory-authorised, fit-for-purpose full-size pick-up trucks in the country. The all-new 3500 Laramie underwent the same wide-ranging design, homologation, and manufacture processes that both the 2500 and 1500 models passed. For reference it included 50,000 hours of pre-build… Read more

RAM Trucks Australia has introduced the 1500 Express Crew V8 Hemi to its range. Sitting one step above the entry-level 1500 Express Quad, the RAM Express Crew features more space, higher specification and what the importer calls (hopefully with a bit of tongue-in-cheek) “an even sportier appearance”. Priced from $89,950 plus on-road costs, the full-size 1500 Express Crew truck features the larger cabin found on the RAM Laramie, meaning more head, shoulder and leg room than any five-seat ute on the market today. Importantly the sizeable cabin has dual-zone air… Read more

They can tow anything from 3.5 tonnes up to 6.9 tonnes. “This is truly an Australian automotive success story,” says Neville Crichton CNZM, Executive Chairman of the Ateco Group and originator of the idea to convert left-hand drive… Read more

The RAM 1500 Black Pack lives up to its name with 20-inch black alloy wheels, black bumpers, a black grille, darkened headlights and all the badging is in black. “The RAM 1500 Black Pack slots in neatly between the standard RAM 1500 Express and the luxurious RAM 1500 Laramie to provide a combination of a strong unique visual appeal and the sound of Hemi V8 that goes to the heart of why hot Utes are so popular,” explains Alex Stewart, General Manager of RAM Trucks Australia. “The RAM 1500 Black… Read more

The RAM 1500 has arrived in Australia and is a large pickup, or ute if you prefer that term. Powered by a 5.7-litre Hemi V8 (291 kW, 390 horsepower, and 556 Nm at 3950 rpm) it’s aimed to replace the much loved V8 utes that once upon a time were sold by Ford and Holden. Priced from $79,990, driveaway the RAM 1500 sits a fair way above the late lamented Aussie utes, but you do get a lot of automotive real estate for your money. At 5.8 metres long and… Read more
