Rent Dodge Ram 2022 in Dubai

Few vehicles fill a mirror on Sheikh Zayed Road like a full-size American pickup, and the Dodge Ram 2022 we rent in Dubai is about as much truck as the road allows. We deliver it to your hotel, villa or the airport terminal, usually within one to two hours of booking. Ours is the supercharged version, a 702 hp desert-performance machine rather than a work truck, so before you commit it helps to know what a pickup this size actually does for a week here. That is the decision this page settles: statement and straight-line drama, or a lot of metal you spend the week trying to park.

What you're renting, and the engine question

A Dodge Ram is a full-size crew-cab pickup, and this particular one is the range-topping supercharged model, not the everyday version. Under the bonnet sits a 6.2-litre supercharged V8 making around 702 hp and 881 Nm, sent through an eight-speed automatic and full-time four-wheel drive. For a truck weighing well over two tonnes, 0 to 100 km/h in roughly 4.5 seconds is genuinely absurd. This is the pickup built to chase a Ford Raptor across sand, not to haul cement.

The engine is worth getting straight before you book, because most Rams on the road run a milder 5.7-litre V8 with about half the power. The car we hand over is the fast one, the supercharged version with the numbers above. If a friend has driven a "normal" Ram and found it merely large and lazy, this is a different animal entirely. Confirm the supercharged unit when you book if that power is the whole reason you want it.

Cabin space, the bed and the size problem

The crew cab is huge inside. Five adults sit with room to spare, the back seat is wide and flat, and there is more shoulder space than most seven-seat SUVs give their middle row. For four people moving around Dubai, nobody is short of space.

The bed is where renters need honest advice. It runs about 1.7 metres and is open to the sky, with no cover unless you arrange one. That means anything you drop in there is exposed to view, to July heat, and to the wind on the highway. Groceries slide around and cook. Suitcases sit in plain sight at every valet. In practice most people renting this truck carry their luggage on the back seats and leave the bed empty, which is fine, but it does mean you are renting a load bed you probably won't load.

Then there is the size, and it is a real factor, not a talking point. At almost 5.9 metres long and 2.24 metres wide on 35-inch tyres, this is wider than a Nissan Patrol and longer than most things in a car park. Tight multi-storey bays, Marina tower ramps and mall parking structures ask for patience and both cameras. Watch the height barriers too. At just over two metres tall, it grazes the 2.0 to 2.1 metre limits posted at many Dubai car parks, so plan for open-air or valet parking rather than assuming you'll fit underground.

Fuel, heat and the daily reality

A supercharged V8 pushing this much truck through city traffic drinks hard. Expect around 20 litres per 100 km overall, and more when you're crawling in stop-start traffic with the AC fighting the heat. The 125-litre tank gives a decent run between stops, but each fill is a big one, so budget for fuel across a week. Salik tolls and any RTA fines during your rental pass to you as the renter, the same as on any car we hand over.

Heat is the question every renter asks in summer, and a cabin this big needs a strong system to tame it. It has one. The climate control pulls the temperature down steadily after hours in an open lot, and the back seats get their own vents, so nobody rides in warm air. Two honest cautions in the heat. The black paint bakes, so it comes back hot to the touch after a day in the sun. And anything left in that open bed sits in full 45-degree heat all day, so it's no place for shopping you care about.

Who should rent it, and who should not

Rent the Dodge Ram 2022 if the point is the truck itself. For a birthday, a photo week, a group that wants presence, or a driver who simply wants to feel 702 hp shove a pickup down the E11, nothing else in the fleet lands quite like it. If you know how to drive sand and go out prepared, it is genuinely capable off the tarmac, with the clearance and the hardware to back the badge. You'll need to be 21 to take the keys, and because this is a high-value performance vehicle, a deposit may apply, so it isn't the no-deposit option.

Skip it if you need a practical week. Families moving with luggage are better served by a Patrol or a Yukon, where the cases ride locked and cooled inside rather than baking in an open bed. Anyone doing tight city errands or relying on underground parking will spend the week wrestling a nearly six-metre truck into spaces it barely fits, when a mid-size SUV does the same job for far less fuel and far less stress. Your allowance is 250 km a day, then AED 0.5 for each extra kilometre. Rent this one for the occasion and the drive, not for the daily grind.
