    Ram 1500 2018

    FROM
    $52,250

    The 2018 Ram 1500 range of configurations is currently priced from $48,800.

    Our most recent review of the 2018 Ram 1500 resulted in a score of 7.1 out of 10 for that particular example.

    Carsguide Managing Editor - Head of Video Matt Campbell had this to say at the time: There is a lot to like about the Ram 1500, especially in Laramie spec. Yes, it is expensive, and yes, it is under-equipped for the price. But it offers exceptional space and comfort, plus class-leading towing ability. And if those things matter to you, the other bits might be less of a concern.

    This is what Matt Campbell liked most about this particular version of the Ram 1500: Strong V8, Huge cabin, Class-leading towing

    The 2018 Ram 1500 carries a braked towing capacity of up to 4500 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

    Ram 1500 2018 FAQs

    What towing capacity do I need for a float with two horses?

    The rule of thumb is that a float with two horses on board is around the 2000kg mark, so that’s the absolute bare minimum towing limit you’d be looking at. Even then, by the time you add a couple of saddles, some feed bins and whatever else it is horsey people cart around, you could easily be looking at 2.5 or even three tonnes.

    With that in mind, the smart move would be to buy a dual-cab ute with as much towing capacity as possible. The good news there is that many of the popular choices can tow a braked trailer weighing anything up to 3.5 tonnes. Think about it; if a ute can tow 3.5 tonnes, it should cope easily with two tonnes.

    If, on the other hand, we’re talking a three-axle float and a pair of Clydesdale horses, you might have to look at one of the US-made utes from the likes of RAM or other US-market brands. And even then, you need to be careful: Even though some versions of the RAM ute can legally tow 4500kg with a braked trailer, to do so and not exceed the GCM (the combined mass of the vehicle and trailer) the payload in the tray falls to less than 100kg.
