You know a car has made it for cool factor when your 13-year-old niece tells you she wants one – and so it is for the Ram 1500, which has shown that Australian buyers (and dreamers!) are more than ready for a larger pick-up truck to be available on the market.
Formerly known as a Dodge Ram, the Ram 1500 comes to Australia as a left-hand drive vehicle and is essentially rebuilt to be a right-hand drive ute for our market. It’s a convincing conversion, and has seen production ramp up over the years, as well as the range of variants available.
It’s a big truck and has a big price, too. The entry-level 1500 Express costs $98,950, while the range-topping 1500 TRX (4x4) lists at $224,950.
