Ram 1500 Laramie review: Tow test

FULL STORY: www.caradvice....
If you’re looking to tow something big and heavy, like a big caravan, horse float or boat long distances, you’ll appreciate the effortless nature of this Ram 1500, and be happy to pay for the extra fuel it uses compared to a smaller diesel.

My Ram has a 8” lift running 37/13.5/22 tires and wheels . Intake and exhaust. It’s a beast and I get 13mpg. Fill up is about 50.00 US. Love it after having my 2013 Ecoboost F150 modded .

[@mx5hong]

Hmmm... The latest 5th generation Ram has been on sale in the US for about a year now. The one in the video is the outgoing 4th generation. The Australian RHD conversion is officially recognized and supported by FCA correct? Then the latest 5th generation should be available in Australia by now 🤔.

[@wawewawe1316]

Thats nothing new. Toyota did the exact same thing with the Avalon

[@coopsnz1]

2020 classic model in Usa , warlock hemi spec like Australia $50000usd without taxes

[@zachariahatkinson9379]

So funny, I owned a ram in the states and now I own a triton. Miss the ram but the prices are not realistic in AUS

[@larry8065]

Why is it being called a "car"?

[@youyoutggt]

😂😂

[@jakey20022]

Hopefully they post the ecodiesel review soon

[@BenzinioB]

Quite awesome machine if you can afford the bills on the petrol station...

[@amandeepsvlogs2247]

Benzinio u can change how many cylinders u wanna use

[@BenzinioB]

But what is the point of having V8 if you deactivate cylinders?..

[@billybellend1155]

Some Australians moaning about how big it is for our roads as a b-double drives past. 😂

[@hondatrix]

Nice truck, big service costs...no, huge...until it breaks down...then sell your house..

[@lordodd452]

Runs since 2016 without anything

[@maximusfuscus]

It’s even better with the Ecodiesel, I am towing a 30 ft, 6500 lbs Rv trailer with ease. Fuel economy and low torque are MUCH better than the Hemi.

[@waynejakamarra6403]

Will they be sending Vans too?

[@kitcho90]

after 10,000kms I'm averaging 11.4 Lt to the 100kms that's better than a 200 series

[@tianxiaoxie2742]

and 91 cost less than diesel

[@ahmren6667]

20 L/100 Km ????

[@Mangoclay]

20L/100km? Your having a laugh 😂😂 will drain you bank account

[@wawewawe1316]

My car a 4cycl petrol is less than half as thirsty and can tow the average sized trailer fine.

[@Mangoclay]

Im an electrician and i drive the Ute he's towing, it's more than enough and only burns 8L/100km.

[@oldbloke100]

@@Mangoclay put a car trailer with a ute on it and see what it gets, then go up a few hills and see how your going. I bet you don't get 8L/100km then.

[@oldbloke100]

A PATROL or Landcriuser will use that much fuel towing.

[@billhunter1388]

These rams are good at towing but they use way too much fuel and I like a diesel anyway

[@trainingtheworld5093]

Too expensive, too thirsty, too big. It would probably be more economical to just buy a light truck. This thing is more of a fashion statement.

[@coopsnz1]

Top of the line 1500 limited is price of a Bmw 540 in Usa $65000usd without taxes , Rhd conversion ads $20000 to the price in Australia

[@johnheldman8798]

You’re driving on the wrong side of road!!

[@Drivecomau]

Try telling that to the police here! hehe

[@garryhopkins]

I don’t get these huge American trucks that have to be stripped down and rebuilt to be right hand drive for Australia. They are too big for cities, too thirsty, too ugly (personal opinion of course), and we do not need them on our roads. It’s a blessing there are so few on our roads ... normal dual cab utes like Hilux, Amarok, Ford Ranger are plenty big enough for people wanting that sort of vehicle, not these dinasours from the US.

[@alexs3187]

Garry56 just because you don’t need to tow anything, doesn’t mean everyone else needs to ride around on a scooter like you.

[@Jakdennnnnnn3d333]

One of my friends is a living giant of a man and unfortunately the only car he can comfortably fit inside is one of these American trucks

[@coopsnz1]

Top of the line is $55000usd , similar price to a Bmw 340 in Usa not exactly cheap in the states , the difference is no sales tax on list price un like Australia

[@HenryFamilyTheFirst]

I did 190,000 kms in USA in 2 x 1500 Laramie (1 was rear ended & written off). These trucks tow 3.5 t easily and eat up long distances in comfort. They suit regional Australia not Bondi Junction or Newtown. There is also ample room in the cab to stop rear passengers (kids) from killing each other and wife wanting a divorce on the big trips.

[@steveallen1340]

@@HenryFamilyTheFirst Yep, big car for a big country. Outside of the capital cities the US trucks would be great.

[@darrenedwards5925]

LOL ,,, QUOT ,, 10 12 14 PER 100 KM.... THEN SAID AVERAGE 19 , 20LTS PER 100 KM,,, LOL ,, you must think us stupid ,, LOL 🤣🤔😆😆😆😆😆

[@homer5103]

You must be stupid if you couldn't understand what he meant
