We paid $3,500 for a fake Dodge Ram pick-up truck from China and when unboxing it couldn’t quite believe what we were seeing

When you pay $3,500 for a fake Dodge Ram pick-up truck from China, what do you expect?

When it’s first unboxed from its crate the ‘desert cream’ hue of the car is unexpected but weirdly nice.

However, the audacity to put ‘RAM’ on the front is a super bold move from the Chinese carmaker.

Will it prove to be a worthwhile investment? Supercar Blondie’s Alex Hirschi and Nathan Bain investigate.

The exterior of fake Dodge Ram from China

Supercar Blondie’s Nathan Bain did the honors and cracked the sizable wooden crate from Alibaba open.

“The proportions… there’s something so charming about it,” he said.

“I don’t know, it’s big but it’s narrow and the wheels are tiny.”

Aside from that, it’s a ‘straight copy’ – despite some of the vents and other features being merely for aesthetic rather than functional purposes.

Like the fake Chinese Range Rover that he previously unboxed, the car is electric and charges via some odd ‘computer’ plug.

However, unlike that car, the fake ‘RAM’ branding on the grille is pretty blatant.

Round to the back and the tailgate works perfectly.

“What more could you want?” Bain asks.

“How could you not love this little thing?”

It’s like a Fisher Price version of the real Dodge Ram with faulty light-up letters on the grille, 24″ versus 35″ tires, and an engine bay that’s virtually empty bar a few ‘washing machine’ like motors.

The interior

The exterior is not really comparable to the 700HP of the actual beast.

The fake electric car’s interior is no different.

As you step in you’re greeted by a functionless blue stripe in place of a car sidestep.

Alongside the wrong brand’s colors inside, there’s a rudimentary touchscreen infotainment system, and peddles so far to the right they require you to drive ‘sidesaddle’.

Stay tuned to find out what happens when Bain and Hirschi, aka Supercar Blondie, put it through its paces.

Tesla Cybertruck Superman wrap is possibly the wildest-looking Cybertruck wrap yet

The Tesla Cybertruck isn’t exactly a vehicle that needs much effort to stand out.

The truck – the brainchild of Tesla CEO Elon Musk – is an all-electric pickup truck with a body entirely composed of stainless steel sheet panels.

It was first publicly conceived as an idea at 2013.

Now, we might just have the wildest looking Cybertruck yet.

Elon Musk’s vision for the Cybertruck was essentially to be a comparison point to the Ford F-150, long considered as the standard bearer of the American pickup market.

The Cybertruck started being delivered by Tesla to customers in November 2023.

From the second it was released, it has been the subject of both praise and controversy in equal measure.

Krypton Tesla Cybertruck: Superman Tesla design released

As if the Tesla Cybertruck needed to stand out any more, it very much does now.

In a Supercar Blondie exclusive, Moe Wraps pulled off a phenomenal custom Superman wrap job for a client.

Based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Moe was brought a chrome red Tesla Cybertruck by a client who clearly had a very specific idea in mind – to design a car Clark Kent himself would be proud of.

Moe has gone viral on TikTok for his work, especially for this particular piece.

Comments have roundly lauded and praised him for his incredible work on such a uniquely shaped canvas.

Moe displayed the painstaking process involved in crafting such fabulous art.

In a sped-up, timelapse video, Moe shows the time taken to create the outline of the Superman design – of course including the iconic ‘S’ logo.

He then carefully applies the stencil onto the body of the Cybertruck, before gently sculpting the design onto the stainless steel surface.
