Dodge Ram The Dodge RAM, known plainly as the RAM in the US and Canada, started production back in 1981. It comes in six different trims - ST, SXT, SLT, TRX, Sport Laramie, and Power Wagon - and four different cab options - Crew Cab (new for 2010), Mega Cab, Quad Cab, and Regular Cab. The RAM is powered by a plethora of engine options, including a 3.7L V6 producing 215 HP and 235 lb-ft of torque, a 4.7L V8 delivering 310 HP and 330 lb-ft of torque, a 5.7L V8 with 355/390 HP and 395/404 lb-ft of torque, and a 6.7L turbodiesel I-6 getting 350 HP and 610/650 lb-ft of torque. These engines are mated to either a 6-speed manual or a choice of three different automatics: 4-, 5-, or 6-speed. The all new 2009 Dodge Ram, presented in January 2008 at the Detroit Auto Show, is almost there. The first units should be reaching the dealerships in September. Get the Flash Player to see this player. For all the loyal Dodge Ram fans this truck should be worth the wait. The big 5.7L HEMI engine has been worked on to produce 10% more power (380hp / 404lb) and 4% better gas economy. The truck is packed with 42 clever storage spaces, such as the optional ‘ram boxes’ that act as miniature trunk space located in the rear fenders. Those boxes can be locked and are water proof as well. The interior is coming to a whole new level. With a dual tone instrument panel, featuring hand stitching and the first heated steering wheel in its class. But breaking through technology is located behind the rear wheels. The 2009 Ram will be the first pickup to receive coil over suspension. This technology is supposed to bring the Ram to another level in comfort and handling without altering its legendary capability. We can’t wait to see if it is as good as they say it is, but it surely looks good. Exterior

They did it ! They did bring bulls in the street of Detroit, right in downtown for the presentation of the new dodge ram pickup trucks. Heliopters in the air, camera guys on roof tops and crowd lined up as if it was 4th of july.  Chryler / Dodge Top Executives

Over the week-end, a picture of what was thought to be the new Dodge Ram surfaced on the internet, first on a Dodge forum site and then more broadly.
Dodge has now given up and posted that picture on its own site, ending speculation and confirming that this is the new 2008 Dodge Ram pick-up.
The restyled truck has a much sleeker look than the Ram it replaces and, for that matter, than its competitors. Eschewing the chunky look that the Ram originally pioneered and others, (... > Full story
