This is the Ram 1500 R/T Hemi. 0-60 in 5.4, 14.1 second quarter. It rocks 22" wheels, and blacked out projector housings. You will have to spec a sport regular cab with the short bed on Ram’s configurator to even see that this thing exists. Despite the heyday of the muscle truck being ten years ago, one does still exist, and god bless FCA for carrying the torch.

On the one hand, I didn’t know this exists and can’t say I’ve ever seen one. Do they sell it in the states?

The Ford F-150 Tremor is similar, but it lacks the V8 noise and is a bit slower.

Still needs a Hellcat, as a spiritual succesor to the SRT-10 Ram.

They sell it in both Canada and the US.

You are correct.

I just looked on cars.com. Keep in mind the Ram sold over 450,000 units in the US last year. There are currently over 68,000 new Rams for sale on Cars.com. Without cheating, care to guess how many are R/Ts?

0-60 in less than 6 seconds?!?! In a truck?!?!!? I know that there are a few others that can, but I’m impressed. I’m lucky if my truck even gets to 60 in under a minute.

Not just that, 0-60 in less than 5 and a half seconds! That’s stupid fast.

The only one I’ve found that’s around there is the SVT Lightning.

You are optimistic by 10. There are currently 8 fore sale.

Think about that for a moment. Out of half a million of these that will be sold this year, maybe two dozen will be R/Ts. And unless you’re standing next to it it’s almost impossible to tell. It’s a bonafide unicorn.

That, and the Dodge Ram SRT-10.

I completely forgot that the SRT-10 existed. And now I want one. Again.

9 MPG highway will make you think twice.

I get double that mileage and easily well into the early 20s on highway... and still get 0-60 in around 6-6.5 seconds

If I’m not mistaken, I believe BrownDogWelding has one.

The 5.7 is a lot more efficient than the V10.

I think you’re right.

I’m getting less than twice that as it is so I might as well get some power with my bad mileage.

Indeed.

Silverado 6.2 is 5.9 seconds. The really amazing thing here is this is half a second faster while weighing quite a lot more.

It’s automatically added when you spec the regular cab, short bed Sport model.

That`s awesome! Super subtle, all of a sudden it`s pimped out with an R/T badge. I kind of want one.
