    A Refined Ride – The 2020 Ram 1500

    Pickup trucks are generally not known for having the amenities of a well-appointed sedan. After all, they are primarily a vehicle for getting work done so being “refined” isn’t a high priority. Well, the designers at Ram see this differently and have worked hard to make the 1500 model trucks ride and look just as nicely as their sedans and other vehicles. Here’s what you should know.

    A relaxing ride

    The rear suspension system and available optional air springs are the basis for the smooth ride with the Ram 1500 trucks. Combine that with the front end design behaving more like the family sedan than a truck and you have a ride that nearly everyone comments on as being great.

    Plush interiors

    High-end interiors are unusual for a truck in this class, but the Ram 1500 ups the game. Even the cloth seats offer a rare-seen level of quality and, of course, there’s always the option to go for Ram’s fine leather seating. According to Orlando Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, the Big Horn Quad Cab trim level goes further by providing a choice of leather bench or twin bucket seats for the front.

    Getting hot

    Who doesn’t love heated seats? But what about heated and ventilated seats? These are available at the Laramie trim level and above, and the bonus is the heated steering wheel. Options on varying trim levels offer rear-seat recline and ventilation.

    Inside view

    Starting inside the Ram 1500 Cab, the well-designed dashboard and central console keep displays, buttons, and toggles well within the driver’s eye-periphery. The clean labeling makes for easy reading, including the 7-inch driver display with 3-D graphics. Kudos to the interior technology designers for providing three options for touchscreen sizes, 5, 8 or 12 inches, though the 12-inch touchscreen is only available at the highest trim level.

    Outside class

    A refined silhouette for the Ram 1500 makes it sleeker than most and the exterior paint is offered in a fine variety of body colors, including dual-paint options available at upper trim level models. New exterior appearance packages arrived in the 2020 model with the Black Appearance package (available on Rebel and limited models) and Night Edition package. The Built-to-Serve Edition is offered on the Big Horn model in either Gator Green or Black Diamond.

    And storage

    You won’t lack for interior storage options in the Ram 1500. Side-door pockets are spacious and have recessed LED lights. Ram Bins are the in-floor storage bins with tie-downs built in to help keep items in place. Even the front passengers are treated to ample storage space with a reconfigurable console and a pocket on the display console which provides auxiliary charging ports where you can stash and charge your phone.

    You definitely want to test drive the Ram 1500. This truck provides a relaxing, spacious driving environment with plenty of utilities and amenities to suit even the pickiest of truck buyers.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Just 15 of these came into the country priced at R3.57m.

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
