Dodge Ram SRT-10: A Powerhouse Of A Truck
The Ram SRT-10, provides Dodge with the ability to show you how trucks are made and what their purpose is. It carries a 500 horsepower V10 engine and provides you with a six speed manual gearbox, for your driving pleasure. This Dodge pickup Truck is one of the most powerful trucks you will ever have the good fortune of meeting and driving.
The wheels on the SRT are huge, a great 22in with some of the biggest rims to be found on a truck straight from the line. If you lose a small child, check in the hollow aluminium drive shaft, as it is another big thing onboard this Dodge Pickup Truck.
If we take a look externally on this impressive piece of engineering we will find a spoiler over the tailgate which reduces lift and drag whilst you put your foot down to reach 60 mph in 5.3 seconds, this Dodge Pickup Truck can reach limits of 154mph.
How do you stop your Pirelli Scorpion P305/40R22 performance tires from shredding when you throttle your Dodge Pickup Truck? Well, Dodge has engineered a slip-differential and provided a decent 56/44 % front/rear weight distribution. For those wanting even more from their Dodge then the hood scoop, will allow cool air in as well as forcing hot air out from the engine, thereby increasing performance of the engine to develop more power for you to use and the press of your toes.
If we take a look at the gears we find that the first is great for 50mph, but in second you are looking at tearing along like a dragster. The stability and the poise of this Dodge Pickup truck, proves that it is quite unflappable on a tight course, it is truly remarkable that something this powerful and big can be so balanced, stable and quick.
There is no question the Ram SRT 10 is a truck for those who like to take things to the max, without danger of tipping or sliding, for without artificial brake assistance this beast can handle itself, with the aid of the tires mentioned earlier matched only by their 22in rims.
There will be no mistaking what you are driving when you are listening to the music which pumps from its V10 engine, especially the exhaust.
The stereo in this Dodge Pickup Truck is phenomenal, with 8 speakers and subwoofers blasting out about 505 watts of sound, enough to seriously destroy your eardrums. For the all important interior design it comes with leather trimmed seats and for those feeling a little like James Bond in this car you get the push button ignition for the finishing touch.
There is little you would want to change with this Dodge, you may want to think of going for a higher gear ratio, but truthfully, Dodge have provided a truck which performs as your ideal date should.
