Vehicle Summary
Available in half-, three-quarter- and one-ton capacities, Dodge's full-size pickup trucks continue to flaunt the look of ruggedness. For 2008, there's a more powerful engine for the Ram 1500, and a new SXT version of the 2500 and 3500 offers more features. A Power Wagon version of the 2500 handles demanding offroad tasks, and a Mega Cab model is also available. Heavy-duty Rams can have a more-powerful 6.7-liter diesel engine, and an electronic stability system is optional for 1500 models. The Ram competes with the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado.
