    From what I can tell the RAM is a fantastic comfortable and powerful long distance tourer with great seats. They lose comfort and ability on badly corrugated dirt roads and are quite hopeless offroad compared to any Land Cruiser, Patrol or Land Rover but if towing long distance on bitumen it would be the pick of tow vehicles. Cheers

    A mate has a 24' GRP, twin o/boards, Noosa Cat and easily tows it with the Ram. (He did start with a Hummer thingy, but that's a different story)



    He has also done the full Canning, in company with a 79 series 'cruiser and one of the last produced, old school, Defenders. Apart from minor niggles, loose bits and a few rattles, it was fine, more so than the 'cruiser, in fact. The 'fender had no issues that I'm aware of.

    Overall, the three vehicles waltzed it in, on the Canning.

    I wasn't thinking undulating sand country but gnarled offroad bush tracks. Hard offroading and big yankee trucks don't go hand in hand. Cheers

    Yes a 1500 Limited, the only one available with air suspension and quite a high spec level.

    It's often quite interesting watching anything in that line of ute, disembarking the Mulgumpin (Moreton Is.) vehicular ferry when the tide is a bit low and the barge's drawbridge, ramp angle is a bit acute.
