Can these guys do a conversion of Cadillac Escalade: I really love that big monster. Still won't afford it though, but you never know when will the lotto hit!!!!!!
I'm actually surprised these aren't being imported from Australia, considering they're imported into Australia by Ateco as a LHD vehicle and then re-manufactured into a RHD vehicle and sold officially through Jeep/Chrysler/RAM dealers in Australia and New Zealand, covered by their new vehicle warranties. Walkinshaw does the conversions in Melbourne and they also do the Chevrolet Silverado 1500/2500/3500 and the Toyota Tundra. The Ford F-150 is done by RMA Automotive and sold as an official import and sold through Ford dealers in Australia.
The accelerator up and down is for adjusting height. If you have long legs you wiil bring the pedals down otherwise my short kings will bring the pedals up
Great review Jacob, I really enjoyed watching this. I think you forgot to tell us about the price and cost of ownership of this beast. I also didn’t get the fuel tank of this truck in this review. Great presentation though
I've grown to like bakkies/pickups as well as the American full-sizers after having use them in some trade jobs overseas, my personal favourite being the RAM TRX. But the price tags on these... 😬 To no one's surprise, they're also insanely expensive in the United States too - that includes the "cheaper", less fancy base model trims as well. Some will cost $60k - $100k+. I remember the RAM TRX these guys showcased being over R4mil, which is crazy.
Jacob, what driver's license code does this require? I don't think you can drive this with a standard code 8 drivers license, can you? Code 10 at a minimum I guess given its GVM
There is a company in Centurion which does the same... They are American something as well I've seen a few ram and dodge vehicles which we don't have in South Africa and they look kinda intimidating at first glance
this is the truck you buy to survive a🤠🤠 apocolypse😵💫😮but the fuel range is crazy yor. this has to be like your second car or somethin..either way its different and awesome - like the cooler box sides🤤
Its about time a pick-up truck actually worth mentioning is gaining traction on our roads. If only Ford SA would catch a freakin wake up and release the F150 in RHD in conjunction with RMA like they have done in Australia. The bakkie market in SA is so narrow minded, fixated on the Ranger and Hilux platforms as if they are the be all and end all of bakkies or pickups, hell, even GWM have got something a bit more " large and incharge" with reclining rear seats and better passenger legroom in the back.
The first thing you should let us know is the engine specs. After 11 minutes I only know it’s a V8 but I have no idea what the displacement is…🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
20L per 100km on average is not uncommon for even locally supplied high performance vehicles (V8s with at least 300Kw give same consumption in in-town driving and drops to about 13L/100Km on freeways). Even old petrol V8 SUV (Nissan Patrol etc) would consume around 18L/ 100Km in city driving. Phela R1200 of 95 octane is just around 40L. This consumption is not abnormal for a V8 high performer.
this is a big F Off Truck thats American in all aspects,just look at those seats,he was being swallowed in those seats!Also the reason for that button to adjust the pedals is to assist the target demographic of the truck to reack the pedals. Finally its nice to see a review of a vehicle from the guys this channel featured years ago,also good to know they have expanded thier service imprint.

This guy is a good presenter
I was literally about to comment this. I'm so impressed
He is, check his review of isuzu dmax x rider and at35. He nailed that review
This "truck" would have made all the sense.... when petrol was 5bucks a litre 😂😂
Some knob is going to buy this in Johannesburg just to go to Woolworths 🙃
yes me lool at Woolworths now with my raptor I want a bigger one lol
If that is what they want and have no problem folking out that that 2.7M, what then makes them a knob?
I'm impressed that South Africa is seen as a potential target market for brands like RAM, I just hope they have adequate dealer availability.
I expected the F150 instead of the Ram
Think it's not there at moment most buyer are imports on this and do steering swap
@@telcyrosa5249 ford hasnt yet figured out if it will not dilute it's market for it's different ranger offerings
It's not an official move from Ram, just an independent importer.
It's just brought in by ustrucks, no official support, seen them driving around for years
Still have mine with no problems. Bought it new in 2019.
If someone can afford this truck then the fuel price is irrelevant. ONE LIFE! LIVE IT!
Step 1: save enough money to buy the car
Step 2: only drive it payday when fuel price come down
Step 3: wake up from a bad double dream
Can these guys do a conversion of Cadillac Escalade: I really love that big monster. Still won't afford it though, but you never know when will the lotto hit!!!!!!
Would love one with a B6.7L Cummins diesel.
Let roll coaaaal babyyyyy
My man - I like your presentation skills - lekka 👍🏻👍🏻
Really love seeing the improvement in every review you do, Jacob! Keep it up man!
Jacob's car reviews are second best to none.. The best!!
It's a very cool truck and it definitely blows all the local bakkies out of the water. But R2.8mill is obscene.
R1200 for 220km range is mad business 😂😂
Dude it cannot take you very far 😅😅😅
About 25L/100km
The peddles can move to allow for heavy duty boots or construction boot. It's a tough work horse
It’s been available for years. A very very long time. US Trucks in Richards Bay
They finally let us review one.
Agree… very annoying click-batey title! 🤬
Jacob Has really grown and developed as a presenter, this was a brilliant review.
Unfortunately he hasn't grown quite enough to sit in the driver's seat, this bakkie/truck is HUMONGOUS on the inside 😮
10:04 dude stopped for a drink and peed under the car like we all do hahahaha
😂
A small fridge is missing in there . beautiful truck I must say
This guy is phenomenal! 😂 Great review of a great machine!

Nice, the only disadvantage might be parking space sizes in malls. This will surely breed double parking resentment. Too nice
Yeah its causing a havoc here in Australia when it comes to parking
Exclusivity... Being the only one in the neighborhood driving it 😂😂😂
This was an entertaining presentation. You good at capturing attention.
A person who buys this Van is not worried about fuel consumption, the money is there, so if you still worry about L/100 then forget about this one
The accelerator up and down is for adjusting height. If you have long legs you wiil bring the pedals down otherwise my short kings will bring the pedals up
Moshokoa, you're so funny dude. Your excitement is contagious 😂😂😂😂
Best truck but ‘yo that price though 🤯
You talk about the price…😂😂😂how R1200 fuel for 200km🙆🏻♂️🙆🏻♂️🙆🏻♂️
Good review Jacob. Keep up the good work. 🎉
You are so far from the infotainment system.😂😂.
And I love this Truck, American trucks are cool,bring more❤️❤️
South Africans have money.
@4:29 "Now, I'm in the driver's seat..."
Dude, what are you talking about?
You've been in the driver's seat since the video began.😂
😂😂😂
They first filmed that portion
Great review Jacob, I really enjoyed watching this. I think you forgot to tell us about the price and cost of ownership of this beast. I also didn’t get the fuel tank of this truck in this review. Great presentation though
You missed a lot of feutures. Could've done more research... Love the posetivity and good vibes from you sir☝️🔥
You can fit a Renault kwid in the center console
😂😂😂

Great bakkie. Good short video as well.
8:23 😂😂😂 o popeye wena sahn😂😂😂
hahahahaha yaz lo uyasphaphela for sure..... that was really funny..!!! hahahahhha
8:20 Dammit! lol
Correct me if I`m wrong: when you do the LH to RH conversion, does it not nullify the warrantee. I mean on such an expensive purchase.
Definitely in ❤ with all American trucks or nothing,but ford is number one boy.
Yeap, F150 is the real beast
Its the best truck for everyone until they have to park one or buy fuel
well doubt who ever buys one isnt loaded
It would have been nice to hear the actual fuel tank capacity and the fuel consumption otherwise great video.
That's my dream Bakkie/Truck especially the TRX
Jacob, what driver's license code does this require? I don't think you can drive this with a standard code 8 drivers license, can you? Code 10 at a minimum I guess given its GVM
Thanks for price clarification
this dude loves cars and a great presenter
Easily the best review I've ever watched from a local gent 🎉 @topgear are sleeping on you Bafo.
Why would he want to downgrade to topgear. Cars.co.za is where all the good presenters want to be.
Great review,I like this guy
There is a company in Centurion which does the same... They are American something as well I've seen a few ram and dodge vehicles which we don't have in South Africa and they look kinda intimidating at first glance
Beautiful truck, definitely a dream machine 😍
we want the DODGE TRX and the FORD RAPTOR R
saw one a few times around Pretoria East last year
Dodge TRX does not exist. All trucks are RAM. RAM TRX. Dodge only do cars and minivans.
@@any0n378 dude you know what he meant, don't be that guy
This guy is great at this😂great presentation
Lost me on the fuel consumption, but dang.... what a beast!
this is the truck you buy to survive a🤠🤠 apocolypse😵💫😮but the fuel range is crazy yor. this has to be like your second car or somethin..either way its different and awesome - like the cooler box sides🤤
i thought it was a rifle rack based on the length and where its from.
Tell Cadillac i need that Escalde V ASAP
I wonder if they can convert the Ram TRX 1000 Hennessey Mammoth into right hand drive 🤔🤔
Those buttons of accerator are used if you are tall or short
You didn’t tell us about sunroom n it’s the only pick up truck with that in South Africa right now
Crazy mechine that. It's good for the farm or plot life style unlike city living. That's my opinion tho
Where can One buy this car in RSA and what does it cost?
Bro got millions 8:21😂

Your reviews are top notch.
Would you need a code 10 for this ?
No the 1500 series is Code 8
I turned my head away so fast at 8:23😂
Is that MaMkhize's Ram? 😂
Similar vehicle but I doubt it is. There's a number of them around.
The other day I saw a GMC HD 2500, RHD of course.
😅😅
@@ShemieNyathi it is, RAM 1500 limited, i think hers is a 2019 model
Mam Mkhize truck is more of sporty,fast and off road capable than this one is more for the tar roads than off roads...
@@modisemakokwe4256 wrong, it is the same exact truck
The first thing you should let us know is the engine specs. After 11 minutes I only know it’s a V8 but I have no idea what the displacement is…🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
You get that information at 3:04 until 3:24. Time stamps.
@@makhimlonyeni8252He didn't mention the displacement, and also the fuel type
@@BongelaMnguni he said 556 newton's meters. I hope that helps.
5.7L V8 petrol engine, consumption 15L/100km estimated, Am sure real world driving that's more like 20L/100km for local driving
If he starts with fuel consumption,engine specs etc,a lot of people will not watch the rest of the video😂😂😂😂😂
My neighbor owns it and it very huge.
I would opt for the Cummins diesel variant
It would have to be a ram 2500 and up for the diesel version.
20L per 100km on average is not uncommon for even locally supplied high performance vehicles (V8s with at least 300Kw give same consumption in in-town driving and drops to about 13L/100Km on freeways).

8:16 this man must be stopped
😂
😂Jacob Moshokoa! Presentation is LIT!
Please review the Ram TRX
This is a serious truck!
The conversion comes with a huge cost. 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Dankie Ngwenya a hliux is a bakkie that right there is Truck hiiiiihaaaa 🤠🐮
Can it fit into a standard garage
Same thing I did with my car from Dubai ❤
what a presenter ... yooh his great
It’s only for those who choose and opt for something different.
8:22 best 😂😂😂
They have been imported for a while but the price doesn't make sense
Any diesel engine? Petrol engine seems like a bad idea! .....
this is a big F Off Truck thats American in all aspects,just look at those seats,he was being swallowed in those seats!Also the reason for that button to adjust the pedals is to assist the target demographic of the truck to reack the pedals.
Finally its nice to see a review of a vehicle from the guys this channel featured years ago,also good to know they have expanded thier service imprint.
Looks so old fashioned is this thing from 2005?
Wait, did I miss it. Whats the price of it?
Jacob did mention it, R2.3 million
Great teuck, but the fuel consumption is crazy... R1,200 (55L) for a range of 220km.
Ram truck can go on a full tank of gas Close to 800 km, hemi brother 😎
American trucks are very thirsty. Perhaps why America is always fighting for oil. They make beautiful trucks though. Love the Tundra
RAM has a 98L fuel tank, which is less than a land cruiser🤔
And some landcruiser have two tanks
This is a beast🔥🔥🔥
The built in twin beer cooler box 📦 😅😅😅
Ooh yes what a bakkie loving it a lot but expensive
Its not a bakkie, it is a Truckie 👍
Am waiting for Chinese copy of this truck probably it will be economically efficient
This is a beautiful machine
Lets hope the paint dont peel🤔..
Anybody here from the country of FREEDOM?! 🎇🦅🦅🦅🏈🏈
can you imagine what it will be, unburdened by what was that that side 😂
😂 😂 🤣
too bad you didn't get the 6.7 Cummings version *diesel*
you have my dream job man
