My local stop & shop has these... they look fine, if you have a mix, just make sure that it's not right next to a 1:48 or a 1:50 car, should be okay that way.
Hoping someone has a real Ram..measures it and does the 1/48 math

That ship sailed...add to cart>click>on its way 
Just so you know My Ram just like the picture without the lights of course is 21" long. If you need inches I can go measure it for you again.
21' x 12" =252" x 1/48 (.020) =5.24 inches...hmmm pretty close
21 feet is meant. Actually, 1/44 is closer to the "correct" 1/48 than the 1/43 many of us, including me, have to use.

Exactly..i struggle w/ 1:43
Glad I was able to help.
FWIW, the real version of this truck is pretty awsome. I'm in fleet sales and sell these to police departments. The 5.7L Hemi and all the special police "tuning" gets this truck moving quickly. Maybe that's why Chrysler governs the speed at 106 mph. Hmm, how many mph is that in scale?
Special note to Pine Creek Railroad - keep your eyes open- I just delivered one of these to Gaines Township!

We have them at the Los Angeles County Sheriff. They're not used for general patrol service (AWD Ford Explorers, Crown Vics, and a few Chargers handle that), but for transporting equipment. And yes, some do have Hemis but most don't. What bites is it's almost impossible to get LASD vehicle models as the County doesn't allow the logos to be used. As for the toy, I like it and might get a couple...and make my own decals from photos.
I can see those repainted as mow equipment. Anyone know of all yeller light bars?
Most lower end '1/43' scale vehicles are not scale. I place a pick up next to a 50's Caddy and the pick up is huge.....Caddy should be at least as big. So a slight cheating on scale is the norm. I had a friend that was a scale model designer. He drew up the plans for the tooling shop to cut molds for scale models. Even he said at times 'out of scale' looks better to our brain than absolute perfect scale.
So question is.....do they look good to you???
Love the fact they make models of the Ram now! Used to be mostly Fords and Chevys! Lionel Grandpa I drive a 2013 Ram 2500 , crew, Laramie Longhorn with a heavily modified 5.7 Hemi! Bring on those Gaines Township boys!! LOL
I picked up several of these (Ford, Chevy and Dodge) on "Da Bay". 
Actually they look pretty good. There are several flavors including civilian models as well. Try searching 1/43 Die Cast and see what shakes out.
