Five Hundred Uncoiled Viper Horsepower = Most Powerful Production Pickup Ever ex • cess n. 1. action or conduct that goes beyond the usual, reasonable or lawful limit

Chicago, Ill., Feb. 13, 2003 - If it's worth doing, it's sometimes worth overdoing. So only Dodge could create the boldest, baddest and fastest full-size pickup ever, the Viper-powered 2004 Dodge Ram SRT-10.

Taking its rightful place as the ultimate performance pickup, the 2004 Dodge Ram SRT-10 brings a massive dose of Viper power to the performance pickup segment, with a class-demolishing 500 horsepower and 525 lb.-ft. of torque. Topping 150 mph in maximum speed and reaching 60 mph in approximately five seconds, Dodge has recalibrated all expectations for truck performance.

"The Dodge Ram SRT-10 may be the first halo truck, but trust me, this truck is no angel," said Wolfgang Bernhard, Chief Operating Officer, Chrysler Group. "The Ram SRT-10 is true to the performance ideals that created the original Dodge Viper: keep it simple and make it fast."

"There is no replacement for displacement," added Bernhard. "The Ram SRT-10 delivers its astounding performance in a way that only Viper owners will recognize, with an endless rush of torque."

The 500 Club

The numbers don't lie: the Dodge Ram SRT-10 is the most outrageous pickup ever. With 500 horsepower, 525 lb.-ft. of torque, 505 cubic inches and a 500-watt, ear-melting sound system, Dodge dominates in every category. Simply put, the 2004 Dodge Ram SRT-10 is the new performance truck icon.

The Ram SRT-10's mayhem-making ability is delivered courtesy of the highest displacement engine in a factory pickup truck-the same 8.3-liter V-10 that powers America's ultimate sports car, the all-new 2003 Dodge Viper. The V-10's horsepower rating easily surpasses all other pickups - not to mention virtually every production sports car in the world.

"We set out to create the Viper of trucks and we delivered," said Jim Schroer, Executive Vice President - Global Sales and Marketing. "This is a unique truck - a low volume, over-the-top collectible that remakes the entire segment. In the performance truck segment, the Ram SRT-10 simply dominates the road - and proves once again that Dodge DNA runs true and deep."

Damn that a long shifter... At least the grill aint chrome... Ford should release a manual with SVT Lighting.

 

hahah domestics = trash...

this is rated at a stock 1/4mile 13.5..
i cant wait till i beat one and say my 4banger beat a v10 500HP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAAHAHA!!!

 

This is a vehicle i wouldnt mess with from a rollling start... damn thats a lot of torque

 

yea... not what i would call bang for your buck performance...
u'd think a car w/a viper engine would do a lot better then high 13s... sorry, but im just not a domestic guy, i respect their power, but they have no style or class, and are wastes of money IMO...

and FUGLY!

 

so domestic exteriors are bland and interiors borings, i give them credit for trying to make a fast car by the most archaic and simplest means.

 

a V10 is simple??? goin w/more cylinders is simple...? yea.. sure...

how a bout a tiny 4 cylinder that still gets 30mpg and is a family econmy car... hows that for simple...

 

what better gas mileage? thats simple... shoving the biggest possible engine into a car is simple too... man im just talking about approach. technologically, yeah these engines arent simple. what is simple is shoving in a larger motor, it makes sense I aint doggin that approach.
