Scc Ram 1500

At a length of 5,915 mm and a width of 2,085 mm, the vehicle has a kerb weight of 2,530 kg. With a gross vehicle weight of 3,510 kg, a payload of around 980 kg remains, placing the vehicle just inside the EU weight class N2 rather than the class up to 3.5 tonnes typical of pickups.

A large-displacement eight-cylinder engine producing 290 kW in a pickup of this size targets both pulling power and performance, typical of the North American market for pickups in this class. A payload close to one tonne sits within the usual range for this vehicle class and allows both carrying loads on the bed and towing trailers. A gross vehicle weight just above 3.5 tonnes is not unusual for North American pickups with this engine.

When buying a used pickup with this engine, the service history of the eight-cylinder engine, the condition of the tow hitch on vehicles used for towing, and a check of the brakes and tyres given the high gross weight all matter. Corrosion of the frame and load bed deserves extra attention on a vehicle of this kind imported into Europe, along with the proper conversion of lighting and the tow hitch to European regulations.
