The Ram 1500 is available from $119,950 to $249,950 for the 2025 Ute across a range of models.
The Ram 1500 (or Dodge Ram 1500 as it was once known) has gradually had its range fleshed out in Australia to include more of its US-market range thanks to the growing popularity of trucks in the next size-bracket up from the more commonly accepted dual-cab ute.
That popularity is despite a tall starting cost of $119,950 for the 1500 BIG Horn (5-7 Tub) Mhev (4X4) and max price of $249,950 for the 1500 TRX Final Edition (4x4) largely thanks to the necessity of locally converting the trucks to right-hand drive and the lack of a fully factory-backed operation.

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.Show more
