In addition to the 1500, HD, and a few vans, the Ram lineup consists of a few other models the U.S. doesn’t get. These include the 700 and 750 coupe utilities, 1000 compact pickup, and the 1200 that competes in the mid-size segment.
Today’s we’ll talk about the Ram 1000, also known as the Fiat Toro outside Colombia even though there are very few differences between the two unibody pickups. These include the badging and infotainment system’s startup screen, along with the Ram logos on the owner’s manual and maintenance guide.
It’s funny how Fiat Chrysler has a compact pickup truck in the guise of the Toro and 1000 while Ford is working around the clock to bring the Courier back to market with underpinnings from the Focus. Hyundai is also pouring resources into morphing the Santa Cruz from a concept to series production, and Volkswagen prepares to roll out the Tarok.
Unveiled at the Bogota Salon last year, the 1000 relies on a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder with 130 horsepower on tap. The E.torQ Evo is matched to a six-speed automatic transmission while drive is channeled to the front wheels. Production takes place in Goiana, Brazil on the same assembly line as the Toro, Jeep Renegade subcompact crossover, and compact Compass.
Speaking of these fellows, they all share the Small Wide 4x4 vehicle architecture with the 500X from Fiat. All-wheel drive is also available, and the torque rating of 125 pound-feet (170 Nm) of torque isn’t too bad either. Ram’s truck division in Latin America could introduce the 2.4-liter Tigershark and 2.0-liter Multijet at some point in the future, but for the time being, neither can be specified.
Two-wheel drive and the 1.8 will have to suffice at launch, along with a payload of 650 kilograms (1,433 pounds), towing capacity of 400 kilograms (882 pounds), cargo volume of 820 liters (28.9 cubic feet), and a loading area of 1.5 square meters (12.9 square feet). Considering it’s 4.9 meters long and a unibody that utilizes the platform of a crossover, the Ram 1000 ticks almost all the right boxes.
The Big Horn serves as the range-topping trim level in Colombia, featuring LED daytime running lights, dual-zone climate control, 16-inch alloys, and a rearview camera. Fog lights, roof bars, parking sensors, and a 5.0-inch Uconnect touchscreen infotainment are a few other noteworthy features of the 1000 Big Horn.
As for pricing, the most affordable configuration costs 89,990,000 peso in this part of the world. That's $26,190 at current exchange rates.
