Back in 2005 my now wife and I were walking around the streets of Berlin. We’d been there for a couple days at this point and all the standard European cars with their small gasoline or Diesel engines had begun to blend into the background. As we were walking down the streets I heard a far off distant rumble. I looked at my wife and said “that’s not European, that’s an American engine!” A couple seconds later a bright red Ram SRT10 came shooting past with all the onlookers desperately trying to take pictures of it. That truck was as exotic to the Germans as something along the lines of an SLR is to us Americans. Not gonna lie, made me proud to be an American on that day in Berlin! Being a MOPAR or no car kind of guy it legitimately made me feel a little more at home.

Fantastic review. Love me some Ram SRT10. Another automotive channel I'm subscribed to also reviewed one of these, only this time it was the Quad Cab. And from what I can gather, it's not just the slower performance and increased reliability problems that differentiate the automatic and manuel. Because the transmission is based off a Cummins diesel engine, the overall feel of the truck is more like a workhorse and less of a sport truck. Which feels underwhelming when the engine is.....I mean come one it's the from the Viper.
@MarspeedCars2 жыл бұрын
Yeah exactly. It’s half a second slower to begin with due to the 500 extra pounds and then you also have 2 less gears. But even so, you can’t go into this expecting it to feel like a Viper. It is 2000 pounds heavier!! And still has the truck like tendencies. Still felt awesome and pulls but not like a supercar.
@fitfogey2 жыл бұрын
People get the auto to tow with. You can tow up to 6500 pounds with it. The manual is technically not supposed to tow anything as stated in the manual. Mine had a tow package none the less and couldn’t tow anything. People do but you run the risk of screwing up the transmission big time.

I had a 2004 Black/Black RC 6 speed. Sold it in early 2022. It was ok. At it’s release it looked like no other truck but a lot of trucks look like this now. It moved pretty good but drove like a truck and had a lot of shake to it. It was just ok really. I don’t regret selling it as a lot of vehicles now make almost the same power while getting way better gas mileage. That thing drank gas. Anyway, it was fun but ehhh…better trucks out there now.
