The Ram 1200, the brand’s Thai-built commercial pick-up truck, joins a strong line-up of Ram trucks in the Middle East and allows for the brand to gain access to the largest truck segment in the region.

“The launch of this metric ton pickup truck is the next step in our expansion of the Ram brand,” said Robert J. Hegbloom, Head of Ram Brand International, FCA US LLC. “This is all part of our plan to develop a solid strategy to expand the Ram Truck brand’s presence in key markets outside of North America.

“The new Ram 1200 allows us to enter a segment where we haven’t previously competed, and into a critical market encompassing 90 percent of the total pick-up truck volume in the region,” said Maurizio Zuares, CEO of FCA Middle East. “We believe there is a clear opportunity for a highly capable product like the Ram 1200 here in the Middle East.”

Mechanically, the Ram 1200 will be available with two engine options: a 2.5-liter diesel and a 2.4-liter petrol. While the former puts out 126 horsepower in standard guise, the petrol unit ups the ante to 130 horsepower. Both engines get mated to a manual gearbox as standard and permit towing of loads up to 3 metric tons.
