You see, the US truck market is not limited to just one truck size like a majority of other markets that only have mid-size trucks. We have midsize, 1500's, 2500's, and 3500's depending on how you will be using your truck. If you want an off road version of that truck then go with a Rebel(or Gladiator in a mid-size) that has lockers and an air bag lift system. If you want to tow heavy then go with the 2500. If you want to tow heavy and go off road then go with the Power Wagon. Those base level trims are not as expensive over here because we do not have to pay to ship them and convert them.

So is everyone elses with a lot more variety than you get in the US as far as the 2500/ 3500 type. The RAM 1500 " truck" is either a car or Ute outside NA. It competes against the Global Midsizers where it is pretty ordinary in comparison, other tests are a little more acidic.
You have not exaggerated or made a false claim about the attributes of the 1500 in NA, it is what you are used too, but fails by a considerable margin here

You are comparing a very basic Express level trim that cost the same as high level trim midsize trucks over there because it has to be shipped and converted. That is like Australia sending us one of their baseline trim midsize global truck over here, converting it, and comparing it to a high trim 150/1500 truck or mid trim level 250/2500 trucks since that is what it will be equal to in price due to the added cost. It will not even compare because you can get a lot more here for the same price of these Australian shipped truck. That does not mean the the Australian(or US) truck sucks, it is just made for particular market with different needs and regulations(i.e. left/right side steering wheel) So stop cherry picking info just so you can keep bashing our vehicles.
