Impressive review. Being a Ram 1500 owner myself, I will say that most of the comments that you will get will have to do with reliability in comparing Ram vs Toyota. So I look forward to a long term review a couple of years from now. Personally, I have had my truck for more than 5 years now and I absolutely love it. No issues at all, but then I don't hit the trails as much as you do. One thing that the Ram has over other Japanese dual cab trucks, is if you check the location of the back axle in comparison to the bed / loading area. It handles the loads better IMO. With something like a 79 series, you will have to get a chassis extension.

I have the Laramie here in Oz also. Love it. The drive over and around Fraser was effortless and very comfy. I've lost count of the amount of people who ask me should they get a RAM or the new cruiser. My advice.... The RAM.

"trying out the King suspension" Im surprised it's still bolted to the truck. I just bought a 2021 Ram 1500 classic night ed. quad cab, V6 in Ontario Canada. Love it so far. Weird seeing the steering on the opposite side. I get about 12.5 litres/100 with a canopy on the bed, and Goodyear Duratrac 20 inch tires on the factory rims. Not bad. Not much worse than my Jeep Wrangler 2 door that I traded in for it. The Wrangler just didn't have any trailer towing capabilities. I love it but it didn't meet my future needs pulling a small cargo trailer camper conversion.

I have both still, 2018 Sahara exhaust, remapped plus more extras, also have DT 2021 Limited and live in the country on dirt roads, do a lot of towing and we go shooting etc. I want to love the RAM so much as it sounds great and goes great but it came with a vibration from new they cant find so its so annoying driving on the highway and its already been on the towtruck at 12,000kms as it wouldn't start for half a day on the morning of an interstate trip then miraculously started once at the garage. I'm losing confidence on the reliability and realise it could just be a 160k lemon but after 5 Saharas with no issues I don't know what to do as it is such a cool truck. We've lived in Mt Isa and done a lot of 4wding around Northern Qld so know this is good tough country to test. Good proper Aussie review though thanks :)
