Tonque MONSTER

CLIMBING back in to the 4X4 Australia D-MAX after a week in the RAM 2500 had me feeling a little bit sad, if I’m honest. I love that D-MAX, but after you experience a vehicle like the big RAM 2500, it changes you. I almost thought there was something wrong with the D-MAX … what do you mean it won’t spin the tyres at just above idle?

Rewind a week, and I was feeling a bit hesitant when picking up the RAM. It’s an imposing beast; long, wide, heavy and powerful, and it’s incredibly expensive at $157,950 before on-road costs. However, within 30 minutes of driving it I felt right at home, and damn was I enjoying that engine as well as the comforts and features offered by the plush interior.

With all that said, I also really wanted to get the RAM 2500 on dirt,
