The Ram is very impressive, and its a very expensive unit .... but when you consider the final bill after walking the LC around through a litany 3rd party providers to get it up to speed, the off the shelf Ram is still significantly ahead of it.
Good Morning , Good Afternoon , Good Evening
- Thread starter Bluey
- Start date
change of plan @Drover. Just looked at the "actual" price of them, and by the time I pimp up a LC the difference isnt significant. There's a dealer locally so tomorrow I could find myself tyre kicking
and as they say @Crusty181 size matters.
Well it does when you go to the local Aldi and find no spots for your RAM. he he They very nice the 6 seater do us
If they priced cheaper they probably not sell too much more so they are expensive.

The RAM 1500 , which will be released shortly in RH drive at $80K only a poofteenth bigger than a normal dual cab in size, may have a long wait list though but the ones now for sale 2nd hand from folks that bought the imported ones earlier are going to spew as they want heaps more for them than the new ones coming in that are rebuilt by HSV....

Thats pretty crap mileage out of them, should have heaps of meat left Blue Dog, The Ute has recently got the same boots fitted , Bob Jane did the job for under $900 smackas, LT 245 70x16, I certainly hope I'm not looking for a new set at 57K, I was surprised that the Maryborough Bob Jane shop actually did a decent alighnment, I usually go to a steering shop as most tyre shops can't do a crap job, what was the wear pattern on the old rubber, even or messy ??? It can pay to get a decent alighnment, cost is scary but can mean your tyres will last for 90K at least, tyre shops are hit and miss most times.......................I like my 697's on The Ute they are certainly nice and quiet and just drive nice, will see shortly how they perform with Big Mal dragging behind...............either way new rubber is always good and I'm no saint my last lot while good when solo were rubbish when towing and chucked them after 50K, once I'd saved some pension cheques, have always said don't buy cheap, I did and paid the price, no saving at all................would have gone Geolanders but they don't do LT in 245's..................
Windy today in Cooloola, 23 deg, a touch of cloud but still needed a hat the sun was cooking...............................................lol,lol,lol.

Wives tale nowadays, way back when @chartrock was a lad it may have been the case with full rubber tyres but not now.................yes agree good tyres but thought you would get more out of them, I too like to swap out before time just not that early but then being a Prado you do have to drive them hard to keep up with the Holdens..............lol,lol,lol.
A couple of my earlier memories.
These are from from a book "Hints and Tips for Automobilists" circa 1912

$80k will eat into other ute sales you think. Although towing wonder how the V8 is for fuel.. You probably will not care
Yes the new RAM part owned by the QLD gov.. I gather that is why they will not comment on the new rule.

The main issue seems to be the weight that the tug has added onto it after it leaves the show room. The added things like winch, bull bar, roof racks and what is loaded on them , the weight of extra water tanks and long range fuel tanks (and their added contents), extra batteries and tool boxes plus passenger/s weight can easily exceed the carrying capacity of your tug. Supposed for safety reasons, but they are also going to ban the modification/addition of heavier shock absober and suspensions to be able to carry this extra load. Could be a hard one to get around unless all this is added BEFORE the vehicle leaves the show room. Still to pass parliament yet.

I have a mate who's holidaying in the USA, using one to drag his 23ft van around (it's a long holiday) and the figures he's passed on to me are very impressive, generally as good as my Ute and better than Cruiser or Patrol, the 5.7 hemi V8 is a very effiecent motor with heaps of grunt.....
Gonna have to find similar article elsewhere as the Courier wants me to subscribe....stuff 'em though.
