2024 RAM 1500 on/off-road (inc. 0-100) review: Are the F-150/Silverado old news now?

Күн бұрын

You know I love my dual-cab utes! So I was excited to get behind the wheel of the 2024 RAM 1500 Laramie Sport - a new spec to Australia. It comes with mild hybrid and we did some on-road driving, off-road driving and performance testing.

14:18 - Rented a 2WD version for a few weeks. I rode (and been driven) about 3'000 miles and averaged 11l/100km (in eco mode). Still a fan of F-150 but would definitely consider the RAM again - the growl of HEMI V8 is hypnotizing (even at idle).

I bought the Ram 1500 Laramie just over 2 years ago, absolutely love it, once you get use to the dimensions of the vehicle its not a problem, you do have to be mindful of where you park but as far as comfort space and towing ability goes you just cant beet them, I have owned many dual cabs including Fords, Holdens, Nissans, Toyotas and VW's, non of them quite stack up as far as finish, comfort and towing ability in my opinion, the only one that gets close in my regard is the VW Amarok, that's before they teamed up with ford, not sure what the new model is like? the Ram wont be for everyone but once you drive one for a short period of time it's hard to go back.

Around 13-14 litres per 100km around my local suburb, best I have done is 10 litres per 100 km, that was on a freeway trip to Jindabyne, towing a 2 ton trailer I'm getting between 17-19, all depends on the type of driving and how you drive them, if you drive them hard you will be worse off at the bowser, the biggest downside to them ATM is the cost of fuel its ridiculous, especially premium unleaded which is what I run in mine due to the amount of towing I do. @@diegonaranjo2425

Ive owned them all.3 x Ranger, new ranger raptor, hilux and i have to say the Ram is by far the best dual cab ive ever owned. Nice review, and yes, the side mirrors need better conversion. The power is amazing, the ride, the space, wonderful. My kids love the space and comfort. And you've already done a 4wd and towing test, which killed it didnt it. It really is an Australian dual cab destroyer, and there's a reason they are growing in popularity even though the price is high. I want a TRX. Honestly, there is no comparison.

@Kierdziol My '21 F150 XLT has one tonne of payload, it all boils down to how the suspension is designed. The Ram in this video has coil spring suspension, AND is quite heavy being the top trim Laramie. Where as the ford has leaf springs, and less weight seeing as it's an aluminum body. I'd never buy such overpriced trims, I'm a working man... Those paper pushers are ruining trucks for the common man (In the US)

Paul, I've been told with these RAM's that if you were to lift the bonnet ,have a look at the extension steering rod that is setup for the right side that they've had to fit it for the conversion , so i guess as a result; you get a bit of extra movement in the steering because of that. I guess it's the only way they can convert it properly to right hand drive with the steering rack moved across!

Poor turning circle and too big. To top it off this particular caravan park like so many has limited space for your car. The other issue is fuel. 30 litres per 100 towing a caravan. Nah stuff that.

Once you get use to the size it’s pretty easy to park and is surprisingly nimble. Have had a 1500 but you had to work it harder to get the same result as the 3500, thus using more fuel.

I owned a ram 1500 dt for 3 years.. it wasn’t built to last. By the end of my short three years I could see where things were starting to fail. The paint finish is atrocious. The conversion method is questionable. Needs to be revved high for towing. Plastic in the ram box split apart after 2 years and warranty didn’t cover it. Then spots of rust in the doors and around the firewall from where they butchered the car for the conversion were evident. Oh and parts of you need them??? Give it a good 8-12 months. They aren’t built nor supported well enough for the Australian roads. The idea Of owning one is far better then the reality.

In the US people act like you absolutely must have the rear locker or you won't make it down your gravel driveway. Especially when paired with proper tires, the lsd will still meet the offroad needs of the vast majority of buyers. Of course the locker is still better if you can get one with it.

Genuinely curious, what Australians are actually buying this car? Like farmers have better and cheaper options, so who is this car marketed for exactly since it's so large. I saw a poll before that 75% of Americans frequently use their F150s mainly to go supermarket and grocery shopping. Where as 25% use it for farming/hauling/towing etc

ideally theyd be getting imported to tow things that our utes cant but the only ones ive seen have been in supermarket carparks

Got ours to tow 3.5T float, no gvm upgrade required. Decent tub size for moving things around. Comfortable and extremely spacious in the back. Used as a daily driver too. Each to their own, drive whatever you want.

I’m sure there’s an appeal simply for the fact they haven’t had them in Australia before now. Same reason why we here in the states want cars other countries get that we can’t.

would you get more interior space in a ram or y62 patrol? in the market and need a good amount of space for myself and family ( bunch of tall wide people lol )

@nigelupton9030 8 ай бұрын

More in the Ram & even more in a Silverado

@anthonycanalese2142 8 ай бұрын

From personal experience (I've sat in a RAM). My brother has a Y62 Patrol. The Patrol has much more interior space, not just because it's a wagon, but the rear seat passengers have a ridiculous amount of leg room . The Patrol is also $50K cheaper.

@markandkim66 7 ай бұрын

I have a Y62, and my neighbour has a RAM, the Y62 has more interior space. Oh, and we both have them for towing. They’re big, but what we tow is equally big. Just be smart when parking, and there’s no problem. My Y62 is wide, but my Hilux was longer in size.

I've owned one for 18 months now and absolutely love it. Poor drivers give this car a bad name by parking it badly. I've never had an issue parking it at coles carpark or malls. Just be mindful of the length and park in reverse where there is empty space behind you and that keeps the nose in the parking spot. I get about 13 to 14 l per km on pretty short runs on a daily basis which i think is really good for what it is. I just wish they came with the optional bigger tank. I agree with the mirror. Looks like they didn't do a swap on that, which is annoying. Android auto is half screen which is annoying as well. Really would love to figure out how to fix that. Heated steering wheel option is on the left side of the screen. Looks like they didnt bother with a software update for right hand drive. I don't have that wobble in my steering wheel. Looks like a conversion issue.

Half screen is an Android limitation, not just in Rams. The mirror is like that so it can tuck in. I would say pretty much everything software wise is fine for RHD? No wobble in my steering wheel either.

AU is a tiny market and not worthwhile, same goes for Chev, Ford etc. Some dealers in the US alone will almost outsell what they do countrywide here. LHD countries are more than RHD too.
