Siku 2015 Ram 1500 Police

The Ram 1500 police has been a casting that has been done recently by Greenlight and Matchbox, and with their fantastic details why would we need another one? Well for starters this Siku version is slightly larger and offers more functions than before.

The Ram 1500 police is based on a Tradesman work truck package and adds the 5.7L HEMI V8 that produces 350 horsepower through an eight-speed automatic, optional part-time four-wheel drive system, heavy-duty alternator, battery, suspension, and upgraded interior that allows space for police equipment and easy-to-clean rear seat for perps. It is a truck that works best in rural areas, like Texas, though these trucks are seen less-often in urban areas as the traditional police car and SUV fill those roles. Siku starts off with the RAM LAW deco on the sides in silver against an all-black paint and blacked-out 5-spoke wheels, though they look a lot like the Mercedes G65 SUV’s units and yes they can be removed and placed on any axle area.

The front has a large black grille with ram logo, headlights that have an outline of the projector beam units found on higher-end Ram models, and a metal lower bumper that gets a plastic front push bumper. The bodylines are nicely detailed, the roof has red emergency flashers, and running boards are also offered on this truck, while the rear has detailed taillights, RAM on the license plate, and a trailer hitch. The cargo area is big and useful and comes with a handy opening tailgate at the rear that joins the opening hood and front doors for more function than what can be found on the Mercedes G-wagen. The base underneath has some exhaust details but mostly just Siku’s usual spec text though the rear muffler is placed in the wrong spot as it interferes with where the spare tire usually sits in this truck; meanwhile the hood opens up to show off the HEMI V8 with the detailed air cleaner and hose, engine cover, radiator, battery, and assorted hoses across the engine bay. The interior is a nice departure from the disappointment found in the incomplete G-wagen with detailed dashboard, 3-spoke steering wheel, center stack controls, center console, and even the floor mats. Problem is this looks more like a civilian truck inside than a police truck, but still very nicely done.
