Oh and yeah, we've also got a press release after the jump, but if you want the real skinny on the new Horn-y hauler, there's a pretty good site we know of with more detail than you can shake a horn at.ĭodge Unleashes Game-changer Into Truck MarketĪll-new 2009 Dodge Ram Breaks From the Herd Also, check out that interior - suh-weet! All we've got to say is - well played Dodge. But there's even more drink storage locations - like the "store in the floor" storage bins with removable liners, big enough for ten 12-ounce beverages and ice. That's enough room to hold up to 10 cases of 12-ounce beverages - we'll let you choose which beverage in your RamBox, but we'd choose bottles of Bell's Oberon. There's also the RamBox cargo management system available in the crew cab which includes a weatherproof, lockable, illuminated and drainable storage bin built into each of the bed rails - with a total of 8.6 cubic feet of space.


But it's not just under the hood where the Ram's seeing some monumental changes. And a similar boost in torque up to 404 lb-ft. The newly hotted-up Ram (thanks to chief truck designer Ralph Gilles) gets a similarly new 5.7-liter Hemi V8 - giving it more horsepower than the previous generation, 380 hp. Since those wily Mopar-lovin' bastards at Allpar and the never-lovin' Mopar aristocrats at the Times (who knew they were such trouble-makers!) have gone and dropped the cover on the new 2009 Dodge Ram 1500, we've decided to drop trou on our embargoed pictures of the new Ram-headed bull-dodging pickup truck.
