They don’t get much bigger than this! The new 2009 Dodge Ram 2500 hasn’t changed much from its third generation face lift back in 2003. Except that each year the truck keeps getting better.
The 2500 comes with your choice of a 5.7L 383hp HEMI V8 or 6.7L 350hp Cummins Turbo Diesel, both are very powerful engines but the Diesel comes with the advantage of towing power over speed. But don’t get the Diesel if you plan on working long hours in the cold dark winters of Northern Canada. The diesel engines are not as reliable in sub-zero temperatures.
Another interesting feature on the new dodge trucks are their variable valve timing which offers greater efficiency and performance. What the technology does is switch the engine from using the full V8 cylinders to just the V4 cylinders when the power isn’t needed. This will save on the fuel needed to just drive around but deliver the power of the full V8 when you need it.
One of the most innovative feature on the new Dodge Rams are the storage compartments in the side of the storage box. Truck users will appreciate the new and secure place for their tools and highly customizable box set-up. Passengers in the Dodge Ram will also appreciate the ample seating space, a necessity when hauling around an adult crew.
The starting price of the 2009 Dodge Ram 2500 is $30,385. Find out more at your local Dodge dealership.
