looks like a FORD.....but the bed cabinets on the side are cool!!!!!
Nice rear suspension too!
yea looks like it rides good, and has a lot of storage but its a weak dodge and has cheep parts, the 08 ram my brother has as a rental car looks really nice until you get up close. the 20 inch rims are plastic, the inside is like plastic and the seats are hard as wood. but the ride was smooth. the truck has no guts its slow as heck
Hmmm...I like it! No, I am not a trader, nor will I buy one--so don't even try saying that! Dodge has always been my #2 truck and this new body style looks great, IMHO. Effin Hemi now makes 380 hp and 404 torque...damnit. That RCSB Sport model with 4.10 gears might be our new truck to play with! I am really interested to see how that new 5-link coil rear suspension will do. Only time will tell...
Yeah they actually did their homework and FINALLY added VVT (variable valve timing) and upped the displacement and dropped that crappy MDS stuff which in turn gave it an addt's 40HP and better throttle response which should put it close to 300 RWHP on the dyno (380 is crank HP) so drivetrain loss is getting better but it does look a little like the ford. I think the boys at Dodge took a clue from Nissan and how the Titan was built to get the most out of the engine but Toyota still has the advantage on crank HP on the 5.7 engine do to their larger LSA cam (which is snapping on many a Tundra-HAHA) and better flowing heads/exhaust. LET THE TRUCK WARS CONTINUE.
SO WHATS NEXT FOR CHEVY, JEEP ANNOUNCED THE NEXT SRT WILL BE A 6.4 I SMELL TRADE IN NEXT YEAR
Dodge Unleashes Game-changer Int
discusting i hate it looks like a cross between a ford and a tundra... UGLY...
I dont think it will cost a fortune to get 310hp. stock 4.8 in the 08 is 295hp. with a tune youll easily have that. now 310whp is different. but still we have all seen the 100 horsepower on a budget. And 310whp on a 4600 lb Chevy is a lot different than 310whp on a 6000lb dodge. The r/t does 0-60 in 7 seconds. thats only about .2-.6 faster than my 4.8. I still dont like dodge. But I did like the side tool boxes. perfect for placing a bottle of spray. The rear end might be what takes the cake though. ford did that thing with the shocks outside the springs, but who wants to run a road corse backwards?
0-60 is 6.1 not 7, I would not buy it I dont like how it looks. What Dodge SHOULD do is bring back the SRT10 Body and put the 6.1 Hemi in it and make it AWD now that would be a badass truck
The Dodge Ram R/T rear-wheel-drive model, with a short bed, regular cab, and 4.10: gears, can reach 60 mph in a mere 7 seconds, making it faster than the PT Cruiser GT or V6 Dodge Charger.----- copy paste Out of that link at the top. get 380 hp, 4.10's on a reg cab Chevy that weighs 4100lbs i bet itle do 13's And look better doing it.
Copied and Pasted:
Equipped with the new HEMI, the all-new 2009 Dodge Ram R/T regular-cab 4x2 model with a short bed and 4:10 gears blasts from 0-60 mph in 6.1 seconds.
Well girls, each article claims different numbers. The article Dale posted says, ''...a remarkable 7 seconds." And the article Wade posted says, "...in 6.1 seconds." I mean, it would be apples-to-apples if they were a few tenths of a second difference between times, but these Dodge writers--or whatever journalist wrote the article--are claiming times of almost a FULL second difference. That is a LOT of time for those in the truck world. Since it is still a concept and the 09 model has not yet been released, anyone can claim a 4 second 0-60 time. We will all just have to wait for a full automotive test of the new truck before ANYONE can start claiming specific numbers...
2009 Dodge Ram pickup trucks on this link, the original. i can not find were it says 0-60 in 6.1 seconds. I found a 6.1 hemi but thats displacment.
quote '' The fastest 2009 Ram pickup will do 0-60 in a remarkable seven seconds - with a normal V8 available on most models. Gas mileage increased along with power (except on the V6 '' another quote ''The results of all this work are a 10% boost in power to 380 hp (283 kW) and 404 lb-ft of torque (548 Nm), up from 345 hp and 375 lb-ft. At the same time, gas mileage increased by nearly 5%. The Dodge Ram R/T rear-wheel-drive model, with a short bed, regular cab, and 4.10:1 gears, can reach 60 mph in a mere 7 seconds, making it faster than the PT Cruiser GT or V6 Dodge Charger. '' you must be looking at a different link. Im not saying im right or your wrong but that quote of your is not in this link.
whatever, i dont care. my point is and always will be that pound for pound chevy beats ford and dodge in paper rock scissors. a chevy with the same power will drag a dodge because of 2 reasons. 1 its lighter, and 2 its cooler :lol:
tyler likes being called a biatch!!! :ghey:
LICK MY BALLS Jeff.
Okay, you asked for it...Wade=Lady. :LOL:
it looks like crap the front looks like a ford and the back half looks like a dakota at least thats a dodge i guess.
well i think the the coil spring rear setup will prove to be a problem, once these are in the hands of people wanting to race them, and the interior looks alot like the ford, and the only thing about that i like is the center console shifter, i dont know why GM wont do that, atleast in the tahoe or suburban or avalance.
I do like the exhaust cutouts in the rear bumper, other than that id buy a new tundra first.
Looks like a tundra and a ford had sex and out popped this thing with a chevy interior. Ugly truck IMO.
it does look odd, with a skinny dakota/durango nose and what's with the mustang headlights?? i'll admit im a fan of the 03-06 body style but this just doesn't do it for me:sadnana:
Why I do agree sir, I do agree!!! I loved how mine looked

its weird havvin a mopar guy arround, its like telling a black joke and you forget a black guy is right next to you. :lol:
I've known several people owning Dodge trucks or SUV's, none of them still liked their vehicles after the first year of ownership.
Hehehe...mine phone would have been pinned to the back window if I would have done a WOT run... :lol: Lady...
It's a MOPAR phone its used to 500+ RWHP, I can get you one, oh wait you not there yet-LOL, I did lose my Alpine remote and ordered another one (50.00-WTF) and then when I pulled my seats to put in the Katskinz I found it-DOH!!!
Are you coming to Waco or not when Cody come to do Daniels cam swap????
RIIIIIIIGHT. It is used to 500rwhp????... Laugh it up Lady... And MOPAR makes phones? Is is heavy and wayyyy overrated??? HEHHEHEHe..... Yeah, my XM remote is always either my in back seat or on the floor in the back--i swerve all over the road when reaching back to try and grab it... :)
I can probably make it down...is it going in on the 2nd? Or 3rd? I might drive the Honda down---just cause I wanna keep the miles off the truck--and I get like 14 mpg on the freeway...
No. 13. Get it straight...
You can come down Saturday night, install is Sunday or just come down on Sunday and bring your sissy honda, Daniel will paint pretty flowers on it for ya
if they are rainbow flowers then i am sure he is in.
WTF?!?!?! Are you serious? You can't be! Ok, ok--I will allow a small bit of credit to you--Sterling WAS owned by Ford. Cummins (for some dumb reason) allowed Ford to buy some stocks in the company--but Cummins will always be Cummins.
Sterling is now owned by DiamlerBenz. And then they are tied together by Freightliner, Western Star, Sterling, etc. Sterling is starting to rebadge Dodge trucks, which in turn, allows Sterling to carry the Cummins badge and motor under hood.
With the trucks you are talking about, there is 0% Ford correlation.
allright, im man enough to admit when im wrong and i just did a lot of research and it leads me to believe that ford does not own dodge or cummins. i was positive because of information my cousins had convinced me of, but appearantly my cousins were not correct. sorry for the misleading statement guys.:whack::sorry:
