The famed Big Horn nameplate has arrived in New Zealand.
With the 1500 DS in run-out mode at $99,990 plus on road costs for a limited time, the new RAM
1500 Big Horn is set to be the starting point to RAM ownership – with all 1500 models now on the
DT platform.
“The RAM 1500 Big Horn, with its impressive cargo space, class-leading 4.5-tonnes max braked
towing and legendary 5.7-litre V8 HEMI, allows us to broaden our product offering of the RAM Trucks
brand in NZ even more. It’s a true workhorse and packed with practical tech & useful features.” says
Todd Groves, RAM Trucks NZ General Sales Manager. “It’s perfect for the job site during the week and
dirt-biking or family adventuring during the weekend”.
Based on the DT variant, the RAM 1500 Big Horn utilises the same iconic 5.7-litre V8 HEMI engine,
delivering 291kW and 556Nm through a silky-smooth 8-speed gearbox. This legendary powertrain
features eTorque technology creating a mild hybrid system which assists the fuel-saving cylinder
deactivation and delivers a refined Stop/Start function. The combined fuel consumption is
12.2L/100km.
Importantly, the V8 HEMI® also helps facilitate best-in-class towing abilities for the RAM 1500 Big Horn, with up to 4.5 tonne max braked towing capacity available. Big Horn continues its no-nonsense practicality with a 6’4” tub complete with bedliner, multiple tie-down points, bed step, 18” alloys and a useful payload of 878kg.
Inside, robust Diesel Grey cloth seats, 60/40 stadium folding rear bench, trailer sway control function
and hill-start assist double-down on the practicality equation, while a full suite of airbags help keep
driver and passengers alike safe.
Other key Big Horn highlights include: 8.4″ Uconnect Touchscreen, Wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, Electric Rear Sliding Cab Window, Cruise Control, Front and Rear ParkSense Park Assist System, Heated Front Seats, Leather-wrapped and Heated Steering Wheel, Steering Wheel Mounted Audio & Cruise Controls, Electro-chromatic Rear View Mirror.
