Australia seems to be falling for big, powerful, full-size American pick-up trucks. That trend has been clear enough for Ford to bring its F-150 to our shores in 2023, and for Toyota to research the option of bringing its Tundra model here at some point in the near future. But it’s RAM Trucks Australia that is making waves at the moment, announcing another record-breaking month of production and retail sales in November.

The company is a RAM-authorised manufacturer of right-hand-drive RAM trucks and has already responded to the increased interest in its model range by revealing in October that it was to expand its Melbourne Manufacturing Facility. At the time, the company noted it had notched 604 sales for September. That number increased to 657 in October and reached 710 in November with 900 full-size pick-up trucks produced at the Melbourne facility in the same month.

“The records keep on falling at RAM Trucks Australia,” said Jeff Barber, National Manager of RAM Trucks Australia.

“The expansion of our production facility, the partnership we have with our colleagues at RAM Trucks International and our dedicated dealer network should all be proud of the continuing hard work when it comes to delivering the very best full-size pick-up trucks in Australia. With what’s coming down the line over the next few months and years, the future is certainly very bright for RAM Trucks in Australia.”

All RAM Trucks Australia vehicles are international-spec vehicles, uniquely coded for the Australian market and the local build process. Its range starts with the RAM 1500 Express Crew and Warlock models in the original DS variant, followed by the 1500 Laramie and 1500 Limited in the recently launched DT model range, and the Heavy Duty 2500 Laramie and Heavy Duty 3500 Laramie.

Rounding out the range is the 523kW/882Nm, 6.2-litre Supercharged Hemi V8-powered RAM TRX.
