Ram 1500 big rig now available in South Africa

[@neilgouws6962]

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

[@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

[@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

[@radimodise9751]

R1200 for 220km range is mad business 😂😂

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

[@jandombambara]

A small fridge is missing in there . beautiful truck I must say

[@yissibiiyte]

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

[@kabelompe4334]

Exclusivity... Being the only one in the neighborhood driving it 😂😂😂

[@aislex]

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

[@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.

[@Sakkie_S55_M3]

Best truck but ‘yo that price though 🤯

[@user-wf2es7cr4y]

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

[@Asdasty]

[@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

[@NormanE30]

Beautiful truck, definitely a dream machine 😍

[@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.

[@tbangbangsa]

You can fit a Renault kwid in the center console

[@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.

[@maandamusetha2096]

[@sandilemajiya7831]

[@papikimyself6111]

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.

[@debeerpaul]

Haha new crowdpuller at your local braai.

[@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

[@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.

[@UnderdogsRising]

I need to get one 🔥😁

[@drivetimewithbilly]

Ram truck can go on a full tank of gas Close to 800 km, hemi brother 😎

[@mindfreeze0838]

this is a big F Off Truck thats American in all aspects,just look at those seats,he was being swallowed in those seats!Also the reason for that button to adjust the pedals is to assist the target demographic of the truck to reack the pedals. Finally its nice to see a review of a vehicle from the guys this channel featured years ago,also good to know they have expanded thier service imprint.
