Born in the USA, made right in Richards Bay

Not many bakkies sell for over a million rand in South Africa, but this is how the U.S. Trucks in Richards Bay do. The small factory at U.S. Trucks changes steering from left to right and has sold over 200 Dodge RAM trucks to customers in South Africa since they started. The group currently offers the the top-of-the-range 3500 Series mega cab 4X4 Laramie and the mid-level 2500 Series crew cab, both powered by a 261 kW, 6,7-litre Cummins ISB turbo diesel.
Prices for the trucks from U.S. Trucks are:
1500 4X4 Crew Cab R1 045 000
2500 4X4 Crew Cab R1 250 000
3500 4X4 Mega Cab R1 450 000
