The Dodge Ram R/T will return with production starting in early November. In the second half of the model year, 22-inch forged, polished aluminum wheels will be an available option on the R/T. New exterior colors include Austin Tan Pearl and Rugged Brown Pearl. Mango Tango will replace Sunburst Orange and Bright White will replace Stone White. 2010 Crew and Quad cab production will begin August 24th while Regular Cab production will start a month later.
The 2009 Dodge Ram, introduced on January 13, 2008, features revised engines, a new rear suspension setup featuring coil springs fitted to a solid rear axle held in place with multiple links, a first-class interior, and two revolutionary storage systems, along with nearly every gadget seen on a minivan.
The fastest 2009 Ram pickup will do 0-60 in a remarkable six seconds or less (Dodge Ram R/T regular-cab 4x2 with short bed and 4:10 gears — Motor Trend achieved 0-60 in 5.7 seconds with a 14.4 second quarter mile) - with a normal V8 available on most models.
oh20 wrote that Ram 1500 hybrid-electric trucks will be built at Warren and will use the same 5.7L HEV engine and transmission as the 2009 Durango hybrid; the Crew Cab is on the list to get the hybrid version.
Gas mileage increased along with power (except on the V6). Still rumored is the Ram R/T which, according to Mr. Source, will have an upgraded 5.7 HEMI, beefed-up suspension and steering, and a 4.10:1 axle. The aerodynamic drag of .419 Cd is best in class, beating even Toyota — as does the 0-60 time of under 6 seconds (according to Edmunds, Truck Trends, and Toyota’s official figure of 6.3 seconds).
