Vehicle Summary
Available in half- , three-quarter- and one-ton capacities, Dodge's full-size pickup trucks continue to flaunt the unmistakable look of ruggedness. Light-duty 1500 models were redesigned for 2002, and 2500/3500 trucks followed in 2003. A brand-new Ram SRT10 that packs a 500-horsepower Viper V-10 joined the lineup for 2004, followed in 2005 by a new Power Wagon version of the 2500 for demanding offroad tasks.
