On the rise! 2022 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 price and features: Increased costs across the range for new Chevrolet Silverado rival detailed

The Ram 1500 just dearer to buy in 2022.

Ram Trucks may eat utes for breakfast, but it’s buyers who will need to swallow higher prices for the 2022 models.

Ram Australia has increased prices across every model in its range, between $3000 to $6000 depending on the specific model.

This comes despite no equipment or specification changes but is instead driven by the higher production and supply costs that have hit seemingly every industry across the world.

As we are now in the third year of the coronavirus pandemic, car companies are dealing with higher prices for raw materials and increased charges for shipping cars around the world. Ram Australia is passing that cost onto consumers.

See below for full details but the biggest impact is on the 1500 Express Crew Cab, 1500 Limited Crew Cab and the 2500 and 3500 models, all of which are now $6000 more expensive.

The 1500 Express Quad Cab and 1500 Warlock II Crew Cab are up by $3000, while the rest of the range cops a $4000 increase.

Ram isn’t alone in increasing prices as the semiconductor shortage continues to restrict new vehicle supply. Several brands have increased prices for MY22 products with little or no specification change.

Steve has been obsessed with all things automotive for as long as he can remember. Literally, his earliest memory is of a car. Having amassed an enviable Hot Wheels and Matchbox collection as a kid he moved into the world of real cars with an Alfa Romeo Alfasud. Despite that questionable history he carved a successful career for himself, firstly covering motorsport for Auto Action magazine before eventually moving into the automotive publishing world with CarsGuide in 2008. Since then he's worked for every major outlet, having work published in The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, Drive.com.au, Street Machine, V8X and F1 Racing. These days he still loves cars as much as he did as a kid and has an Alfa Romeo Alfasud in the garage (but not the same one as before... that's a long story).
