My understanding is that it is a supply issue.
In NZ, the waiting list is up around 9 months.
The base model V8 is the same price as a V6 Amarok or X Class with a few options (around $90k). Top of the line $125k or around same price as a Sahara 200 Series.
There is suppose to be a 3.0 V6 diesel for the new Ram later this year, and a Hybrid in 2020. If these are cheaper again, and supply is sorted this will easily cannabalise into the Thai specials.
There is simply no comparison between the Thai Utes and one of these.
It would be like comparing a Camry to an S Class Mercedes.
IIRC in the US payload for the 1500 is 1.4 tonne and it goes right up to around 4t for the 3500 dually.
The one tonne rating for the Thai utes are an absolute joke. Anyone who has tried to carry a 1000 litre IBC will know what I mean.
Anyone who sells their LC200 for a RAM 1500 is in for a rude shock when they look at the specs like rear axle rating.
