Whats New for the 2005 Dodge Ram SRT-10?
Dodge is quick to remedy what Ford never did with the SVT F-150 Lightning this year: it’s adding a crew-cab version of the 2005 Ram SRT-10 for families who want to have fun. The Dodge Ram SRT-10 Quad Cab is offered only with an automatic transmission, but can haul more than its regular-cab counterpart – towing capacity is 7,500 pounds. To help accommodate real pickup duties, the Quad Cab gets a special transmission cooler, a heavy-duty torque converter, unique suspension assemblies, and all-season tires. Dodge hasn’t ignored the original Ram SRT-10: it gets a 4.56 rear axle ratio to improve launch feel and off-the-line performance.
