Ram Trucks Australia has notched a milestone, with its 30,000th vehicle delivered since its local operation began in 2015.
A customer based in south-east Queensland took delivery of the company’s 30,000th vehicle, a Delmonico Red Ram 1500 Limited, in late June 2025.
By the end of June, Ram Trucks Australia had reached 30,123 deliveries.
The result comes just over a decade since the first Ram was sold in Australia on December 24 – Christmas Eve – in 2015.
Ram Trucks Australia celebrated the production of 30,000 locally remanufactured vehicles last May, with a Billet Silver Big Horn rolling out of its facility in Melbourne.
“We would like to thank our customers who drove us to this incredible milestone of 30,000 sales in Australia,” Ram Trucks Australia general manager Jeff Barber said in a statement.

“We also must thank the 200-plus production line workers and 50-plus engineers in Melbourne who remanufacture our vehicles from left-hand-drive to right-hand-drive to factory quality and safety standards.
“From humble beginnings we achieved a level of sales success that exceeded our expectations.”
The Ram 1500 lineup here was updated in 2025 with a facelifted model bringing the new-generation twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre ‘Hurricane’ inline six-cylinder petrol engine and eight-speed automatic with four-wheel drive.
Offered in two model grades, the Hurricane-powered 1500 produces 313kW of power and 635Nm of torque in the entry-level Laramie Sport – at $141,950 before on-road costs – and 403kW/707Nm in the $159,590 Limited.
Both were previously powered by a thirstier 5.7-litre V8 petrol engine making 291kW/556Nm, dropped for 2025 – although there are still stocks of the 2024 V8-powered Ram 1500 Big Horn in Australia.
Yet Ram has confirmed the return of the V8 to US showrooms, with the 5.7-litre ‘Hemi’ making a comeback in the 1500 next year, although Ram Trucks Australia has not yet announced if that means a return to the local lineup.
“The return of the Hemi V8 is a decision that has been made for the US market. As it stands today, there is no guarantee the Hemi V8 will return to Australian showrooms,” said a Ram Trucks Australia spokesperson.
Ram Trucks Australia has faced off a growing number of competitors arriving on the scene since its 2015 start.
It was pipped at the post for the top spot in full-size pick-up sales last year, with the Chevrolet Silverado – the only competitor currently offering a V8 in Australia – selling 10 more units with a total of 3862.
In the first six months of 2025, the Silverado leads the Ram with 1807 deliveries against 1663, both well ahead of the Ford F-150 on 545 – with the latter currently thwarted by an official stop-sale placed upon it by Ford Australia.
The newest entry to the class, the Toyota Tundra, notched 378 deliveries to the end of June.
The Ram, Chevrolet and Toyota are ‘remanufactured’ to right-hand drive by Walkinshaw Automotive in Melbourne, with the Ford the outlier as it’s converted by Thai-based company RMA in a facility north of Melbourne.
