Check it out, now all Dodge needs to do is grow a pair and drop in the new Viper motor...don't hold your breath.

Im not a fan yet. I will have to wait till I see one in person. It sure would be nice with a V10 though! Are they going to put the 6.1L in it as an option?

 

[wheredwhogo?]

im thinking i dont dig that front end at all.......

went to the Dodge Ram Challenge and drove them in 3 different little drivin courses they had.
its got coil srings on the ass end. feels like a car.
looks good in person.

I think it's OK. Definitely not the best year/model Ram ever made but far from ugly either.

Sweet rendition.

The new front end almost looks car like, kind of cool.

Now if only it had the nice srt badge up front.

I like the tool box built in the side bed.

thats the same hood they had on the "prototype" they had there.
does look good though.
from lookin at the engine bay. would take some work to get the 8.4 in there.

Wow, that '09 SRT-10 chop looks great! Come on Dodge--build it! Or at least offer the 6.1L and a 6spd. Also think of how easy the rear is going to be to drop now. Just swap out the coils, plus it would be easy to make the links that locate the rear axle fully adjustable.

that would be one mean looking truck

You may not see it in "09" but the potential for a 6.1 SRT8 is there for "10"

 

[Tooloe]

yeah i could see an SRT8 in the new ram.. prob would run just as good as the 8.3l just for the fact of the coil rear suspension
