RAM Trucks NZ continues to claim dominance, ending 2025 as the top-selling large pickup truck in NZ, its tenth consecutive year as top dog.

Offered in models from the versatile RAM 1500 to the formidable RAM 2500 and 3500 Heavy Duty models, the brand has consistently set the benchmark in the segment.

A cornerstone of this success is said to have been the conversion process of the original US-built, left-hand drive units to a righthand drive layout for the Australian and New Zealand markets. To date, over 35,000 trucks have been re-engineered at the remanufacturing plant in Melbourne – by Ram Trucks Australia, the only factory-backed distributor of Ram Trucks in Australia and New Zealand.

The remanufacturing uses up to 500 locally-engineered parts, as well as several key components sourced from original US suppliers.

“This remarkable ten-year achievement is more than a sales title; it’s a reflection of a passionate community and a product that genuinely fits the New Zealand way of life,” says Todd Groves, general manager of RAM Trucks NZ.

“Our team is committed to building on this legacy, offering the most capable, advanced, and soughtafter trucks on the road.”
