The numbers don't lie: the Dodge Ram SRT-10 is the most outrageous pickupever. With 500 horsepower, 525 lb.-ft. of torque, 505 cubic inches and a 500-watt, ear-melting sound system, Dodge dominates in every category. TheDodge Ram SRT-10 Concept could be the new performance truck icon. As with allconcept vehicles this one is a hint of what might be, but the hint is strong.It is intended for production, with regulatory approval and any minormodifications that be required.

The mayhem-making ability of the Ram SRT-10 is delivered courtesy of thehighest 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 ViperSRT-10 Convertible. The V-10's horsepower rating easily surpasses all otherproduction pickups -- not to mention virtually every production sports car inthe world.

"If the Dodge Viper was ever re-born as a pickup truck then this would beit," said John MacDonald, Dodge Brand Manager, DaimlerChrysler Canada. "It hasthe heart of the Dodge Viper, but it's wrapped in a truck that we felt wasappropriate to introduce here in Edmonton, Alberta -- the heart of truckcountry."
