Ram 1500 big rig now available in South Africa

[@Theautography]

This guy is a good presenter

[@tebohowilliams7672]

I was literally about to comment this. I'm so impressed

[@andilemokhathi6063]

He is, check his review of isuzu dmax x rider and at35. He nailed that review

[@neilgouws6962]

This "truck" would have made all the sense.... when petrol was 5bucks a litre 😂😂

[@donovanmcgeer9035]

If someone can afford this truck then the fuel price is irrelevant. ONE LIFE! LIVE IT!

[@Trizzzay]

Some knob is going to buy this in Johannesburg just to go to Woolworths 🙃

[@KR-xn8xr]

yes me lool at Woolworths now with my raptor I want a bigger one lol

[@TumeloMokwena]

If that is what they want and have no problem folking out that that 2.7M, what then makes them a knob?

[@AyandaMarcus-th8ku]

I'm impressed that South Africa is seen as a potential target market for brands like RAM, I just hope they have adequate dealer availability.

[@telcyrosa5249]

I expected the F150 instead of the Ram

[@bonolomokgadi9025]

Think it's not there at moment most buyer are imports on this and do steering swap

[@MilionareBee]

​@@telcyrosa5249 ford hasnt yet figured out if it will not dilute it's market for it's different ranger offerings

[@yissibiiyte]

It's not an official move from Ram, just an independent importer.

[@Don-pk2uy]

It's just brought in by ustrucks, no official support, seen them driving around for years

[@Ads27185]

Still have mine with no problems. Bought it new in 2019.

[@mateyeseratha8785]

Jacob's car reviews are second best to none.. The best!!

Really love seeing the improvement in every review you do, Jacob! Keep it up man!

[@nathiolifant6842]

Would love one with a B6.7L Cummins diesel. Let roll coaaaal babyyyyy

[@kevinnev]

Jacob Has really grown and developed as a presenter, this was a brilliant review.

[@damianpedro2498]

Unfortunately he hasn't grown quite enough to sit in the driver's seat, this bakkie/truck is HUMONGOUS on the inside 😮

[@__SM__1]

Step 1: save enough money to buy the car Step 2: only drive it payday when fuel price come down Step 3: wake up from a bad double dream

[@francismoletsane182]

Can these guys do a conversion of Cadillac Escalade: I really love that big monster. Still won't afford it though, but you never know when will the lotto hit!!!!!!

[@sompisiphinda1417]

This guy is phenomenal! 😂 Great review of a great machine!

[@antoniofrancisco3018]

Although the bakkie is made for people with moola but I get 900 kilos from R1200 of fuel and to get 220 kilos only from R1200 is really crazy, BUT then again it was made for that, and it is a fuel guzzler. Some of us are after all not the TARGET MARKET, that is how things work. Great review Jacob M. Dankie ma se kind.

[@skduma9505]

It’s been available for years. A very very long time. US Trucks in Richards Bay

[@Carscoza]

They finally let us review one.

[@JohnHardingabc]

Agree… very annoying click-batey title! 🤬

[@radimodise9751]

R1200 for 220km range is mad business 😂😂

[@MargaretMaimela-lw6kh]

Dude it cannot take you very far 😅😅😅

[@thomasgovender5874]

About 25L/100km

[@yissibiiyte]

It's a very cool truck and it definitely blows all the local bakkies out of the water. But R2.8mill is obscene.

[@Artyfarty.o]

The peddles can move to allow for heavy duty boots or construction boot. It's a tough work horse

[@gustavchuene7430]

[@antoniofrancisco3018]

[@iEnofadov]

I'm actually surprised these aren't being imported from Australia, considering they're imported into Australia by Ateco as a LHD vehicle and then re-manufactured into a RHD vehicle and sold officially through Jeep/Chrysler/RAM dealers in Australia and New Zealand, covered by their new vehicle warranties. Walkinshaw does the conversions in Melbourne and they also do the Chevrolet Silverado 1500/2500/3500 and the Toyota Tundra. The Ford F-150 is done by RMA Automotive and sold as an official import and sold through Ford dealers in Australia.

[@karabomakamole3241]

A person who buys this Van is not worried about fuel consumption, the money is there, so if you still worry about L/100 then forget about this one

[@MphoLawrenceKhumalo]

You are so far from the infotainment system.😂😂. And I love this Truck, American trucks are cool,bring more❤️❤️ South Africans have money.

[@kabelompe4334]

Great bakkie. Good short video as well.

[@NdinehafoHakweenda]

[@tshepomoletsane9764]

Nice, the only disadvantage might be parking space sizes in malls. This will surely breed double parking resentment. Too nice

Yeah its causing a havoc here in Australia when it comes to parking

[@Sakkie_S55_M3]

Best truck but ‘yo that price though 🤯

[@Burn197]

You talk about the price…😂😂😂how R1200 fuel for 200km🙆🏻‍♂️🙆🏻‍♂️🙆🏻‍♂️

[@heavymbedzi2143]

Great review Jacob, I really enjoyed watching this. I think you forgot to tell us about the price and cost of ownership of this beast. I also didn’t get the fuel tank of this truck in this review. Great presentation though

[@NonchalantStateOfMind]

I've grown to like bakkies/pickups as well as the American full-sizers after having use them in some trade jobs overseas, my personal favourite being the RAM TRX. But the price tags on these... 😬 To no one's surprise, they're also insanely expensive in the United States too - that includes the "cheaper", less fancy base model trims as well. Some will cost $60k - $100k+. I remember the RAM TRX these guys showcased being over R4mil, which is crazy.

[@RicstasTech]

You missed a lot of feutures. Could've done more research... Love the posetivity and good vibes from you sir☝️🔥

[@maandamusetha2096]

Your reviews are top notch.

[@Matt6v33]

Easily the best review I've ever watched from a local gent 🎉 @topgear are sleeping on you Bafo.

Why would he want to downgrade to topgear. Cars.co.za is where all the good presenters want to be.

[@Morris-h7d]

This is a serious truck!

[@papikimyself6111]

[@josh3221ify]

Its the best truck for everyone until they have to park one or buy fuel

[@TsotsiLife]

well doubt who ever buys one isnt loaded

[@Adventlibertyvault]

Lost me on the fuel consumption, but dang.... what a beast!

[@shabangu288]

Thanks for price clarification

[@chrischokoe6485]

There is a company in Centurion which does the same... They are American something as well I've seen a few ram and dodge vehicles which we don't have in South Africa and they look kinda intimidating at first glance

[@tashomakunike3755]

It would have been nice to hear the actual fuel tank capacity and the fuel consumption otherwise great video.

Crazy mechine that. It's good for the farm or plot life style unlike city living. That's my opinion tho

[@ozemsadventureofrandomstuf252]

this is the truck you buy to survive a🤠🤠 apocolypse😵‍💫😮but the fuel range is crazy yor. this has to be like your second car or somethin..either way its different and awesome - like the cooler box sides🤤

[@bonganimazibuko1901]

Tell Cadillac i need that Escalde V ASAP

[@Kyran-m9f]

Its about time a pick-up truck actually worth mentioning is gaining traction on our roads. If only Ford SA would catch a freakin wake up and release the F150 in RHD in conjunction with RMA like they have done in Australia. The bakkie market in SA is so narrow minded, fixated on the Ranger and Hilux platforms as if they are the be all and end all of bakkies or pickups, hell, even GWM have got something a bit more " large and incharge" with reclining rear seats and better passenger legroom in the back.

[@InfoHubZA]

Is that MaMkhize's Ram? 😂

[@ShemieNyathi]

Similar vehicle but I doubt it is. There's a number of them around. The other day I saw a GMC HD 2500, RHD of course.

​@@ShemieNyathi it is, RAM 1500 limited, i think hers is a 2019 model

[@1NG_]

Jacob, what driver's license code does this require? I don't think you can drive this with a standard code 8 drivers license, can you? Code 10 at a minimum I guess given its GVM

[@prano550]

Would you need a code 10 for this ?

[@US_Trucks]

No the 1500 series is Code 8

[@thembibaardman538]

Correct me if I`m wrong: when you do the LH to RH conversion, does it not nullify the warrantee. I mean on such an expensive purchase.

[@dintlentsoko3689]

I turned my head away so fast at 8:23😂

[@mokoepa]

😂 😂 🤣

[@tshepothokoa610]

I would opt for the Cummins diesel variant

[@6gredlite907]

It would have to be a ram 2500 and up for the diesel version.

[@1NG_]

20L per 100km on average is not uncommon for even locally supplied high performance vehicles (V8s with at least 300Kw give same consumption in in-town driving and drops to about 13L/100Km on freeways). Even old petrol V8 SUV (Nissan Patrol etc) would consume around 18L/ 100Km in city driving. Phela R1200 of 95 octane is just around 40L. This consumption is not abnormal for a V8 high performer.

[@Thulebeez]

It’s only for those who choose and opt for something different.

[@sibusisomanganye7471]

The first thing you should let us know is the engine specs. After 11 minutes I only know it’s a V8 but I have no idea what the displacement is…🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️
