Ram 1500 (GT-Auto): American pick-up of vehicle class N2 with an eight-cylinder petrol engine producing 295 kW and an eight-speed automatic gearbox for the European conversion market
Ram is a US pick-up brand descended from Dodge's former truck division, now part of the Stellantis group. The 1500 model is the brand's lightest series and is sometimes adapted and homologated for the European market by specialised conversion companies working outside the regular dealer network.

The eight-cylinder petrol engine of 5,700 cm³ produces 295 kW and is paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox. The vehicle is 2,085 mm wide; with a kerb weight of 2,530 kg and a gross vehicle weight of 3,510 kg, only about 980 kg of payload remains for cargo and passengers.
With a gross vehicle weight just above 3.5 tonnes, the vehicle falls into class N2, formally requiring a category C1 driving licence. The high output of 295 kW from an eight-cylinder petrol engine is unusually strong for a pick-up of this size and reflects North American market requirements.
When buying an American pick-up converted for the European market used, the quality of the conversion to European approval requirements matters most, for instance regarding lighting and exhaust treatment. The fuel consumption of the large-displacement petrol engine is worth factoring into running-cost calculations, along with the availability of spare parts through the conversion company rather than a regular dealer network.
