Re: Wicked 2009 Dodge Ram R/T

Nope I don't think its a repost. As for the truck it looks great and other than the lack of hood scoops it looks pretty close to the rendered R/T that was revealed a while back. I wish the scoops could be offered as an option and I'll be sure to keep my eyes out for them out in the wild

Re: Wicked 2009 Dodge Ram R/T

wicked pick-up,
I see that Dodge treats pick-up customers more seriously than those who buy Challenger (leather wrapped-dash, new steering wheel, gear-shifter)

Oh ok I personally like the scoops but if they are not functional then don't offer them. And i bet the R/T models will be out and about in the wild pretty soon so I'll be sure to snap shots when I do see one

Re: Wicked 2009 Dodge Ram R/T

I'm just happy that they've got the guts to put out a great looking performance truck now, I wish Chevy would do the same. A regular cab short bed Silverado SS with the 6.2L and a six speed transmission would be awesome.

Re: Wicked 2009 Dodge Ram R/T

So is the Hemi R/T regcab going to be made for real? I am a Chevy truck guy 100% and never thought i would be a Dodge owner. But if the Hemi regcab R/T does come out then i am a buyer.

I don't like fullsize or EXT or crew cab trucks, i was hoping for a regcab 5.3 Colorado, but since no one will make a smaller v8 regcab i will have no choice but the bigger R/T.

A few mods and i could get close to 500hp with the R/T Hemi.

Mabye They are keeping the scoops for the SRT model.

Re: Wicked 2009 Dodge Ram R/T

A set of functional hood scoops is pretty much all it needs. It looks pretty damn sharp if you ask me.

Re: Wicked 2009 Dodge Ram R/T

Unfortunately, GM for the past 10 years or so has regarded single cab truck customers as second class citizens.

Dodge doesn't equate all single cab truck buyers with poverty.

Re: Wicked 2009 Dodge Ram R/T

I'm glad Dodge is the only one of the big 3 that can combine 'truck' and 'performance' in a single sentence......single cab too?! Man.....I hope Ford is taking a few things away for their forthcoming small trucks (Ranger, F100).....

Yes. 5.7L, 390hp, 4.10 gears, and a 5-speed auto with a performance-oriented torque converter.

Re: Wicked 2009 Dodge Ram R/T

Hopefully the aggressive gearing will give it a performance edge over the Tundra
