Heres the 2009 Dodge Ram R/T.... im kinda disappointed though http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTAS...ram/rt/introducing-the-dodge-ram-1500-rt.html
Not feeling it... The front end is a cross between the Maggy and Charger. No body lines really make things worse. This truck will NEVER replace the SRT10 IMO.
i used the word "replacement" only insofar as this is now the "fastest" truck dodge makes lol.... the SRT10 is untouchable!.... they slapped a new bumper, an R/T badge, and a TC on a short bead reg cab ram and called it an R/T lol....if your going to make a truck like that....MAKE THE DAMN THING RIGHT!
It's amazing that with the amount of FAIL that truck exudes, there is one *slight* highlight: the new rear suspension. Although not the ultimate setup, it is an upgrade from the covered wagon suspension we've been getting from factories. They couldn't even put the 6.1L in it? Sad. CAFE Standards FTL.
I like the design, too. I remember when they first showed the new 300. Many people were like: "Oh no, what is that." Then once they saw it in real life every wanted one and they became very popular. What I love about Chrysler/Dodge: many of their cars have love it/hate it design. These guys are bold
And who says there won't be an SRT8 version once the speculators get out of the oil bubble and into the orange juice bubble.
390 HP, Trick TQ Converter. 0-60 under 6 second. Pull the R/T badge, Add a 100 shot. It'l work. Looks a little blasé to me also.
i was thinking the same thing on the way into work today...that or at least pump the 5.7 to over 400hp the new headlights do it
It's also nice to see they put a lift kit on it. Nothing says "performance truck" like an insanely high center of gravity!
I like it. I like the body style. It could have been worse. The rumor before the '09 intro, was that Dodge was going away from the "big truck" look, & go more bla/boxy. I don't think this R/T is a direct replacement for the SRT10. It is a truck to compete w/the yota & danali. Huh... IMO all pickup trucks sense '94 have been trying to look like the Ram.
