Score a RAM Deal While Dealers Clear Plates

If you’ve had your eye on a full-size RAM ute, now’s a smart time to act. Dealers are running plate-clearance promos to make room for new stock — and that opens up chances for real value. Whether you’re after a 1500 for highway towing or a 2500/3500 to haul heavy loads offroad, there are deals being floated you won’t want to miss.

Let’s break down what’s on offer, what to watch out for, and how to turn these promos into real gains (not regrets).

Key Takeaways

Plate-clearance deals currently include “driveaway” offers, free rego, stamp duty, and dealership delivery. 4X4 Australia |
Some bonus upgrades (tub, payload boost) are being thrown in depending on model. 4X4 Australia |
Offers vary by dealer — read the fine print (stock, options, eligibility).
These promos can shift your negotiation leverage — use them smartly.
If you’re planning a canopy or fitout, confirm compatibility before signing.

What the RAM Offers Look Like

Here’s a snapshot of what RAM Australia is pushing in this clearance push:

Driveaway deals including free registration, CTP, stamp duty, and dealer delivery on selected models. 4X4 Australia |
MY24 RAM 2500 Laramie — plate-clearance price: $169,950 driveaway (with those inclusions). 4X4 Australia |
MY23/MY24 RAM 1500 Big Horn — driveaway deals available with free rego, CTP, etc. 4X4 Australia |
Upgrades & bonuses: on some 2500 models, a payload boost; on certain 1500s, a tub upgrade (from 5’7” to 6’4”) at no extra cost. 4X4 Australia |
These promos are limited in time and stock — once the cleared units go, deals vanish.

Why These Deals Matter to You

1. Better leverage when buying

Clearance promos shift power slightly back to buyers. Dealers want to move vehicles. If you come in informed, you can nudge better accessories, upgrades, or warranties.

2. Package planning becomes essential

If you’re planning a Ute Canopy Package or Chassis Mount Canopy, make sure the model you lock in is compatible with your future setup. Some free upgrades or changes (like tub size) might affect canopy fitment.

3. Be careful of true cost

“Driveaway” sounds simple, but those deals are tied to specific models, optional features, or stock conditions. Don’t assume every RAM will come with freebies — check variant, options, and conditions.

How to Turn a Promo Into a Smart Buy

Here’s your action checklist:

Step	What to Do
Inspect exact model & features	Confirm the model (1500, 2500, Laramie, Big Horn) that the promo applies to
Check upgrade details	Is the free upgrade (e.g. tub size) compatible with your intended canopy or gear setup?
Verify inclusions	Ensure “free rego, stamp duty, delivery” really apply; get it in writing
Watch stock & timing	Deals may only apply to vehicles already on lot — don’t assume new build can be included
Double-check fitout compatibility	Before slapping on your accessories, double-check dimensions, fixture points & weight limits

The Bottom Line

The current RAM Australia plate-clearance deals present a real opening for anyone in the market for a full-size ute. If you’ve been sitting on the fence, these promos can push the decision over the line — as long as you go in smart and cautious.

Once you’ve picked your RAM, the next step is to tailor it. That’s where MRT steps in. Whether you’re eyeing our Tradesman Package or Explorer Package, or you’re ready to spec a canopy, let’s make sure your fitout plays nice with the model you choose.
