This is how Ram introduces the 1500 Night Edition - with burnouts!
While we have previously had to make do with the last generation of Ram pickups in this part of the world, that is about to change with the local release (‘remanufactured’ into RHD format, of course) of the ‘small’ 1500, complete with a newly electrified powertrain.
The 5.7-litre Hemi V8 is still the star of the show (no need for anti-greenie pitchforks please), making 291kW and 556Nm, but now benefits from a belt-drive motor generator unit with a 48-volt battery pack, which offers a cleaner, faster stop/start function, short term torque-assist and regeneration through braking.
