My 2017 1500 Laramie Hemi ( Export specs )

[David_fr]

Hi ,

as a new member of your great forum I'm proud to introduce my all new 2017 Ram.

I'm in France so the truck have export specs and it came with almost full options.
The biggest difference is the speedometer in km/h and the trailer electric plug.

Ram are not officially sold in Europe, so we have to import and ask a state approval individually !
The Ram is arrived in November 2017 and I'm still waiting on the final title ...
If you want learn more about our obstacle course to drive American cars in france, let me know.

Here my truck was arriving close to Paris where my dealer is :



Waiting for the approval inspection on my dealer's parking :



Now the truck ( and a few brothers ) was waiting on me :




Come back to home ( 200 miles ), with the bad idea to go take the truck with my wife : she stole me the steering wheels and don't want to lend it anymore





I'll take some other pictures soon. I still had installed a bedrug and I received a Deezee tailgate assistant that I'll install soon.

Nice looking truck!

I know the import process can be a long and frustrating ordeal so it's nice to see you pushed on through.

You lose your driving rights to your truck, too? Maybe your wife and mine are related!

I'll never give up my love for US cars and trucks even if here in my F***** country a full tank refill for my RAM cost 160€ ( over 180 $ !!! )
RAM are some trucks ( supposed to work ) so a title cost here "only" 1500€ , no additional Co2 tax . If I bought a full size SUV or a V8 car the title cost would be something like 1500€ Title + 10500€ for Co2 tax !!
US Cars market is dying here , environmentalists are killing us with taxes.

Yes my wife always take the full size cars when she can. Since we come in Florida every years from 2015, she don't understand why we have some so smalls and borings cars in europe.
Last summer there was a truck meeting when we were in vacation at Daytona : She definitively love full size and lifted trucks !

My sons at Daytona speedway :

Seems they are like me : French ID but American heart
