Not everyone needs a big roof top basket, recovery tracks, a bulbar, winch, room for a couple of trail bikes etc. etc. if all you want is a vehicle for a couple of nomads and a comfortable touring van, the RAM is the perfect solution.
That it looks and sounds way sexier than a Thai special is an added bonus.
Big petrol motor and its simplicity in a new 4wd - I can see the appeal.
Fuel figures aren't too far off the modern diesels in the real world, if the Cruiser and Patrol forums are true.
And an auto petrol 4x4 on sand - fun!
