In a market dominated by utes, Ram Trucks Australia has just put the finishing touches on its 20,000th right-hand drive pick-up.

RAM distributor Ateco has always made the point that they sell trucks that eat Utes for breakfast.

Having previously reviewed the RAM 1500 in 2020, we recently took the chance to get behind the wheel of the latest addition to the series - the RAM 1500 Warlock.

Introduced in 2018, the Ram 1500 brought big American trucks to the New Zealand mainstream – at a price point that largely matched high-end European utes.

Having arrived in New Zealand in 2019, the journey for the RAM 1500 continues in 2020 with the introduction of the all-new Express Crew V8 Hemi. 

Once you go large it’s hard to go back to regular, goes the old saying.

The Ram 2500 and 3500 utes have a name for big load-carrying and towing capability but come with a hefty price tag. 

Utes are big business in New Zealand, making up around 25% of the market, and seen from Ponsonby to Papatowai and all points in between.

The Canterbury A&P Association's Stud Ram & Ewe Fair, held Wednesday and Thursday, January 9-10, produced a quality line up of 235 rams and 18 ewes.
