Ram 1500 remains Australia’s favourite US pick-up truck

The Ram 1500 has remained Australia’s favourite US pickup truck for the seventh consecutive year, with 3239 units sold in 2024.

The Ford F-150 recorded 2428 sales, and the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 recorded 2389 sales in 2024. 

In addition to the 1500, Ram Trucks Australia sold 565 units of the 2500, 47 units of the 3500, and one SLT Big Horn, totalling 3852 vehicles in 2024.

Chevrolet bested it by 10 units in Australia with 1473 sales of the Silverado HD in addition to the Silverado 1500 for a total of 3862 units in 2024.

However, when sales of Ram and Chevrolet pick-ups are combined across Australia and New Zealand, Ram Trucks finished the year 13 sales ahead of Chevrolet.

The December 2024 result means Ram Trucks has sold more than 30,000 vehicles in Australia and New Zealand since the brand began local sales in 2016.

The milestones were achieved in the same month as the final V8 Ram 1500 pick-ups were remanufactured ahead of a switch to an updated model.

Ram Trucks Australia is undertaking an extensive engineering program before releasing an updated 1500 with turbocharged six-cylinder petrol power, due in showrooms by the middle of the year.
