This truck has been on sale since 2009 in the USA and will be available thru 24' model year. That's 15 years. RAM upgraded the truck in 13' the new 2025 truck will be available in the USA and Canada in the middle of 24'. The 19' version RAM 1500 only lasted thru early/ mid 24'. While the 09' truck will be available thru December of 24'.
The warlock comes with all sorts of different options. For instance yours is the first one I’ve seen with a ram box. Mine doesn’t have a Center console. My friends has heated and cooled seats with a sun roof and Center console. Mine has rebel rims. The options differ just like the other models.
I want to see a RAM that's lifted, big tyres etc on some of our tough Aussie tracks. See so many reviews with road tyres on tracks that you could drive al.ost any car on. Anyone know of duck a video, I am interested as i am considering buying a RAM
Best thing would be to watch the American reviews of Ram off road and get a general idea... The Fast Lane Truck channel on youtube tests Rams off road just search through their videos...
Hi, you mention in the video that you can get diff lockers for this aftermarket. I haven’t been able to find any, could you please advise where you can get these? Thanks
I have a 2021 Warlock 4x4, similar to the way the one you have is kitted out, with some marked differences. Most notably, no sport hood, no RAMbox, and the slightly smaller Quad Cab and bigger bed, or tub as you call it, not the crew cab and smaller tub you have. Mine also has a lower level of options in the passenger compartment. Lower level gauges, no leather, but I do have a storage compartment under the fold up back seat bottom, not in the floor under the mats. No tow hooks or bumper mounted fog lights either. But still a very capable vehicle, and I agree with your assessment, not exactly a city vehicle, more comfortable out on the road. One thing I noticed on mine, you mention the long wheel base, one of my previous vehicles was a full sized 4x2 truck. A standard 2 door cab and 8 foot bed, not sure what that works out to in meters, but the current 4x4 RAM is longer than that truck.
My main complaint about the Australian version is the lack of Audio controls on the steering wheel. Not a major concern when it's a Left Hand drive.. After switching to Right hand drive the simple volume control is even further away because it's now handy for the passenger to adjust the volume. Other than this small concern. I do really like the RAM, either as an Express or Warlock. Still unsure IF I would buy it ?? I was originally looking at the Express. Because it's enough of a RAM for what I'm looking for. But, silly things like a Plastic Steering Wheel is a tight arse way to build a car/truck in 2020 ?? These 2 simple little things is enough to think do I really want to buy one. My main interests started when I was trying to find a Dual Cab with a decent tray size ?? I thought I found the solution with a RAM ???
I own a RAM1500 Laramie in Flame Red and it's awesome to drive. It gets the looks all the time probably because I have the personal QLD plate - "The BFT" on it...
Those stock tires are garbage. I understand it's a review of the truck as is from factory. That being said it isn't as squirrely once you put some nice tires on it like duratracks or k02s
Yeah, but people by 200 series Cruiser and chop them into utes, or by a 70 series and spend $50k to make it what they want. Meanwhile a Ram could just be their ticket to begin with.
Hopefully you will get the Tradesman package over there at some point. A true work truck. Vinyl floors and seats steel wheels, I no nonsense truck. Mine has the V6 and I paid 25k u.s. New. Sticker price was 32k.
The only unreliable vehicles I can think of are Range Rover, Jaguar and Land Rover. Absolute garbage! Also, Toyota is not what it used to be. Rams are very reliable and most comfortable pick up trucks on the market. If I didn’t have it I wouldn’t say. I’m on second one right now. Both Hemi 5.7 L. Starts every time in -30C and never overheats pulling trailers at 30C+ Weather here is going from one extreme to another. Greetings from Canada.
The US version has an option of more off-road capable tires, with slightly smaller wheels than the standard, 17 inches instead of the regular. I do not know if the Aussie Warlocks do or not, but I would think so.
Aussie living in the US. I have a Gen 2 ford raptor. The price of this Ram in Aus is simply insane. I wish Australia had these big trucks - the raptor is the best vehicle I've ever owned, but the economics don't make sense as they do here. Its also an FCA product which does not have the best reputation for reliability although everyone has a different experience. Hoping that Ford puts a better engine in the ranger raptor to live up to the raptor name.
Well last 5 years Ram has dramatically improved. And still continue and improve on. Now I’m also stating this with everyday people I work with and know who own Fords GM and Ram. Well lole and behold Ram has lesser issues than Ford and GM. 5 years old to now mind ya. All have there issues but pick your issue. For the record I never liked Ram until lately. People I knew proved it to me over several years of course. Now the Raptor is a cool machine. Now the new TRX is a lot cooler yet👍👍👍👏👏 Cheers!!
Blame government , I'm lucky to make $5000 profit on one ... The government taxes car to hell in Australia + 5% custom duty at port this is on TV , bikes , motorbikes , caravan we import to ( social democracy for ya and left blame capitalism
Love it. I wouldn't have one only because of the low payload, I just bought another Hilux. But if it wasn't for work you bet. Question marks over the reliability but provided there's a warranty on offer that will see you through the loan term who cares
Pathetic payload capability, add few accessories, 2 people, full fuel tank plus the extra tank you 'will' need and a caravan towball mass of 250-300kgs (which is why most of these trucks will be purchased - to tow 3 tonne plus) and its overloaded. Most smaller utes available in OZ are far more 'payload' capable. Sure its got a mother of an engine but hook up that caravan and its 20+ L per 100kms forever. These Yankee manufacturers (and Toyota with the Landcruiser 200) should be drawn and quartered for producing a huge engined truck with such low capabilities. No diff lock as standard and low profile tyres will have this truck with multiple punctures and stuck all over OZ. RAM trucks 750-820kg payloads with NO fuel in tank but not as bad as Landcruiser 200 series with its 650ish kg payload.
It's a fish out of water. Way too big for Australian roads and that fuel economy is just plain embarrassing. A 6 cylinder diesel would eat this alive 😁
Just picked up my 2021 Warlock with the Hemi. I love it. I had an 08 Ram Hemi with 318k miles and it ran like it was new. That Hemi is a boss of an engine. The only issue I have with my warlock.......they forgot to put the damn "Warlock" decal on it. Pisses me off. That decal alone doubles the coolness level. And I don't have one. Jack asses.
Nice truck, the Ram box is designed for guns isn’t it, why would it be insulated, I think the Ram box is being flogged under a politically correct banner to justify its cost. It’s interesting, Australia has taken the Warlock, while the states is switching to another version upgraded, similar but upgraded to the classic.
Its freaking me out watching you drive on that side of the road. Interior is so cool all backwards to my Warlock.

If you keep eating those “Breakfast” pies you won’t fit in anything else but the Ram.
More Ram.. more breakfast pies.. I see this as an absolute win!
Sold my 200 series , my new 1500 Ram shits all over the cruiser, comfort , power performance , 8 speed , pulling capabilities.
Yeah but you now don’t own a cruiser

Nobody cares about what your license plate says unless its funny.
@@dankydarron6081 Drop dead Pal
Looks weird with those turn signal lights on the fenders. Mine has them on the tow mirrors.
Isn’t there a newer model? How come it doesn’t come to Au?
Yeah check out SCD vehicles. They have the DT Ram
Love the idea of the ram box, but completely useless if you throw a canopy on it. Is anyone local supplying canopy’s yet for the RAMs?
Those stock tires are garbage. I understand it's a review of the truck as is from factory. That being said it isn't as squirrely once you put some nice tires on it like duratracks or k02s
15ltr/100km is pretty good. My old Ca18det 180sx did that much with nowhere near as much torque and regular driving.
love to c u guys reciew the soon to come 2021 ram 1500 trx
Awesome, would love one!!
These utes are too expensive, but it’s a really nice pick up though. It’s a mortgage 💸 in my opinion
Yeah, but people by 200 series Cruiser and chop them into utes, or by a 70 series and spend $50k to make it what they want. Meanwhile a Ram could just be their ticket to begin with.
Saw Toyota SR5 for sale last week $79500.
Now that's getting expensive for a med size ute

Looks to be pretty good value when against a Cruiser.
RAM is American unreliable crap. At least with a LandCruiser you are buying a bullet proof car
@@dtnjnq Mine is pretty reliable

@@dtnjnq Ram scores 86 vs 77 for landcruiser in JD Power reliability score.
It had road tyres too. Put some decent all terrains on it

Amazing truck!
My 2021 V6 warlock looks higher than this one. Interesting. It looks like yours is running at the regular 1500 RAM ride height?
Love the Ram great rig.
I really want one love te Rams
Is it possible to buy and import one of these to britain?
I would love one with the steering wheel on the wrong side! Lol!
You mean on the “correct”side cheers from the 🇺🇸
Love the Rambox!
Now they've really screwed up this time! They put the steering wheel on the wrong side.
Nice scenery considering you just chose that location for the name sake
Its a shame that the 21 model was stripped of a lot of the features and equpment, still a nice truck to drive though

@@ramrider1453TRX is good but also 15-20k more. Raptor is out of production, looking forward to see how the competition will stoke Ford for the Gen3!

If you want a better ram 1500 off road buy a rebel. It has off road tires, a 2 inch lift, lower gears and a proper rear locker.
Thanks for the thorough review. Would like this but could never handle the fuel economy!
I could just hear those pines scratching that new paint :(
Looks good but I’ll wait for the trx
TRX looks like it might cost close to 200k here after the steering wheel conversion. I was thinking about one too, but 200k is really pricey.
great review pie guts..
Lol what mountains?
Love it. I wouldn't have one only because of the low payload, I just bought another Hilux. But if it wasn't for work you bet. Question marks over the reliability but provided there's a warranty on offer that will see you through the loan term who cares
5.7 are a pretty bulletproof engine.
Ram 3500 for payload concerns
I came here for the pie.
Like warlock, wouldn’t mind a Cummins 6, wish Nissan bring RHD Titan to replace old Patrol but has have Diesel engine.
The biggest shock was $9 for a pie.
Parmas are now $29 in regional vic also 😅
0:20 that steering wheel on the right side just Vlew za Mind!!!
The steering wheel is on the wrong side in this vehicle
You better have a mechanic for a friend cause you will need it
It’s not a car it’s a pickup truck.. nice 👍
this is previous version
2020 classic model, Warlock doesn't come in new shape
CarAdvice Pie reviews needs to become a thing! "PieAdvice.com"
Why would you spend so much on such a big unit with no diff love!?
They come with diff lock (option)
Cause you don't need one
I don't need a RAM but I want a RAM 🐏
come back and give us a review when its 5 years old
They have been making these trucks for 70 years
cant find this anywhere in the usa. this is the nicest warlock ive ever seen. ours here are shit.

Can they really carry that much? Can they do a slalom with a load in the back?
I'd have it in my garage.
permits lol Australia really treats their citizens like children. like the video though just bought one in utah
Be nice to the 2021 Rebel instead of sloppy 2nds warlock
14.9L is better than my diesel 2.8 bag of shit 2019 prado
It's a fish out of water. Way too big for Australian roads and that fuel economy is just plain embarrassing. A 6 cylinder diesel would eat this alive 😁

If it's in warranty, you could probably get that sorted at no cost
😂
$115k for an American Ute with an inbuilt esky in the tray yeah no thanks
Blame government its expensive in Australia or any new car ( social democracy ) USA doesn't have federal sales tax
Hell yes
I tow with one. Its awesome.
Much better then pathetic ranger or hulix
Nice truck, the Ram box is designed for guns isn’t it, why would it be insulated, I think the Ram box is being flogged under a politically correct banner to justify its cost. It’s interesting, Australia has taken the Warlock, while the states is switching to another version upgraded, similar but upgraded to the classic.
Muscle car
I don't know why these "reviews" give me that paid promotion vibe....what about the price???
Let me guess....north of 150k...what a joke!
In the US you can get a Ram Warlock in the low 30k, considered it, I personally ended up with a Nissan Titan
Yep and people gladly pay it for this american junk. Completely unsuitable for australian roads
114k drive away by the looks of things.
@@horuslupercal3872 The “Classic” is...add another 20 grand for the “Warlock”
It not $30000usd in USA, same specs retail for $50000usd without taxes in USA
A joke of an off road test. Nothing even remotely to challenge the truck
If you were reviewing a hilux you would have spent the whole time picking the crap out of it, ram paying $$
It looks frumpy and ugly, good for granny to drive around to the local milk bar!
When did 15L/100km become 'respectable'
That's absolutely crap. Leave this junk to the Americans
