MILITEM MAGNUM is a reworking of the RAM 1500 Laramie, radically changing its market positioning taking it up to a luxury niche.

Infact, the Militem MAGNUM combines the dimensions of a versatile 4×4 pick-up with the styling cues of a limousine. Completing the package are technical improvements to the suspension, brakes, exhausts and wheels. The cabin is extremely roomy and has fine attention to detail with extensive use of Alcantara which, thanks to its lightness, reduces the overall weight of the car, enhancing its performance.

The length and ground clearance make the Militem MAGNUM unique of its kind. The model is no ordinary pick-up: it is a true one-off.

MAGNUM stands out for its unrivalled all-terrain capacity, unmistakable presence, practicality, robustness and top performance. Despite its distinct off-road ability, the Militem MAGNUM can also be used in other areas without fuss. It is an urban model as Militem is a status-symbol; it can also be driven when enjoying your favorite outdoor pursuits.

The new luxurious model features a dual panoramic roof, LED headlights and retractable footrests. Each bodywork detail has been built to Militem specifications and can be requested in VTR (as standard) or carbon-fiber (optional). The newly-designed grille defines the family feeling of the Militem product range, a look reinforced by the Militem Extra Tire Coverage body-colored bumpers ad fenders, and new Militem Black Edition 22” alloy rims fitted with wide All-Terrain 325/50 R22 tires that have, so far, only appeared on the FERŌX500.

The electronically adjustable suspension with Militem Lift-Kit Extreme Performance mean journeys are taken with the same set-up whatever the load, adapting to the driver’s style and the speed. The vehicle can be the perfect tender and easily pull powerful boats.

The car is driven by an iconic, powerful 5.7-liter V8 Hemi engine. The unit boasts a maximum power output of 401 CV at 5.600 rpm and torque of 733 Nm at 3.950 rpm, including that provided by the eTorque system.

MILITEM MAGNUM is fitted with an 8-speed automatic gearbox with 4WD that can be selected electronically. Off-road, the Militem MAGNUM shows its 4×4 ability with an approach angle of 23.1°, departure angle 27.1°, breakover angle 28° and minimum clearance of 260 mm.

The new car comes in a petrol, or Bifuel and GPL version with a Prins system; a leading player in the sector. It is possible to use E85 bioethanol, which is greener than standard fuel and used extensively across Europe.
