The 2021 Ram 1500 carries a braked towing capacity of up to 4500 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Ram 1500 2021 prices range from $60,280 for the basic trim level Express to $109,010 for the top of the range Dual Cab Limited Rambox Launch Ed (Hyb).
The RAM Warlock is based on the 1500 Crew Cab, which means a bigger cab in exchange for a shorter tub out back. Standard equipment includes 20-inch wheels, a six-speaker stereo, dual-zone climate control, tub liner, reversing camera, remote central locking, cruise control, electric front seats, sat nav, partial leather trim (but a plastic steering wheel!), heated door mirrors, halogen headlights, electric front seats and a full-size spare slung under the tray.
There are 9 different colours options, which inlcude Billet Silver, Diamond Black, Granite Crystal and Flame Red (a $950 option).
The rule of thumb is that a float with two horses on board is around the 2000kg mark, so that’s the absolute bare minimum towing limit you’d be looking at. Even then, by the time you add a couple of saddles, some feed bins and whatever else it is horsey people cart around, you could easily be looking at 2.5 or even three tonnes.
With that in mind, the smart move would be to buy a dual-cab ute with as much towing capacity as possible. The good news there is that many of the popular choices can tow a braked trailer weighing anything up to 3.5 tonnes. Think about it; if a ute can tow 3.5 tonnes, it should cope easily with two tonnes.
If, on the other hand, we’re talking a three-axle float and a pair of Clydesdale horses, you might have to look at one of the US-made utes from the likes of RAM or other US-market brands. And even then, you need to be careful: Even though some versions of the RAM ute can legally tow 4500kg with a braked trailer, to do so and not exceed the GCM (the combined mass of the vehicle and trailer) the payload in the tray falls to less than 100kg.

The RAM 1500 Warlock's cabin is quite plasticky, with a predictably butch design. It's a long way across, with a massive tub under the armrest. There's not much else to say about it, apart from the fact it's very big and not very interesting. But boy, is it easy to clean.
As you might expect of a super-size truck like the RAM 1500 Warlock, there's a huge amount of space up front with big front chairs provided. The rear seats are a genuine three across proposition with legroom to burn. Under the rear seats is a handy storage box, too.
The RAM 1500 Warlock's 5.7-litres Hemi V8 pumps out 291kW/556Nm. It's shifting 2630kg of oversize ute, but you can still expect 0-100km/h acceleration in around 7.5sec.
