Hot on the heels of the specification and pricing announcement for the upgraded 2500 and 3500, Ram has confirmed the first examples of the upcoming 1500 have rolled off the Melbourne production line.
Full specifications and pricing for the big American ute (or pickup truck) are yet to be announced, however, prospective buyers won't need to wait for much longer, the 1500 is due to be officially launched in mid-June.
All Ram 1500s arrive Down Under as a left-hand drive vehicle before being remanufactured to right-hand drive at a purpose-built factory in Melbourne. You can find the initial Ram 1500 details here.
Roger Zagorski, Managing Director of Australia’s official factory appointed Ram importer and distributor, Ateco, said: “The RAM 2500 and 3500 have paved the way for RAM 1500, but the new truck takes RAM into the heart of the premium Ute market in Australia, with major advantages over its rivals, and so the volume expectations are on quite a different scale. This is why we have a new purpose-built production line in Melbourne that is producing RAM Trucks that are without a doubt full production quality.”
“The Australian designers, engineers and technicians on the production line, along with the Australian component suppliers with which we are working, have done a remarkable job on the Australian remanufactured RAM 1500. This is a world-class vehicle of which they can be truly proud” he added.
We can’t wait to see one!
