@ Mike the Dog...

Oh please, everyone here is rude... especially when they have no idea what they are talking about. I sarcastically corrected someone who made a sarcastic comment and didn't know what the heck he was talking about. I'm tired of watching people spread BS when they know NOTHING of the topic. If you don't know anything about it, then shuddap and mind your business.

Big woop, wanna fight about it? I've been here a lot longer than I have been posting.

I think Dodge is bringing back "The Dude!" So they had to paint it matte black to throw everyone off.

@acrcpe45:@acrcpe45: Well, aren't we just a ray of sunshine? I see from reading your profile that you're fairly new here. Not only that but you have no friends (or followers, for that matter) and you have nothing but rudeness and name-calling to share with the group. I suggest you read Al Navarro's excellent posting guidelines before sharing your opinion any further [jalopnik.com] . While these are, indeed, just guidelines and not "rules", they do indicate the level of civility we are expected to show around here. If you feel that these guidelines are not something you can accept, I'm sure no one here would miss you too much if you just dried up and blew away.

Well thank god that's settled, as it was incredibly important to everyone in the universe.

Too bad about the looks, though. The Dodge Ram doesn't actually have a Cd at all, it simply horrifies the wind into submission.

@tenbeers:

Wow, wrong again smart guy. The 1994 Ram had a 0.46 Cd. So yes the new one is better than the one from 15 years ago. Good Job, moron.

We have a real winner today! :rollseyes:

@acrcpe45: Hey, that's a real engineering miracle they pulled off there, what with getting it down from 0.53 back to what it was 15 years ago on the '94.

@ tenbeers

Hey dumbass... do a little research before spouting your mouth off...

the 2009 Ram 4x4 Quad Cab has a Cd of 0.426... yep the 4x4 model!!!

Ignorance is bliss, a little research goes a long way. If you don't know what you are talking about keep your pie hole shut. Moron.

Speaking of hamster wheels, those are some tall thin tires on that truck.

It's likely a new Night Runner, Daytona or HEMI Sport model. I don't think ChryCo will ever produce another SRT10 RAM. It'd be nice if they made an SRT10 Challenger though.

@wohho: You're right, sign me up for a test run in a Viper powered truck, with 4 space saver spares on it, no big exhaust, and no ground effects ... should make for some "interesting" data when the final unit goes to production.

@Ash & Carry:
THIS. Is chrysler intentionally trying to increase the Cd of the Ram pickups every redesign?

GM has the Silverado down to 0.43 and the Tahoe down to 0.36 (!!) for fucks sake.

I had to see where this one was going before I let the cat or is that the Ram out of the bag.
This is the new Hybrid Model that Chrysler is offering free extension cords with. The cords come in different colors to match your truck.

It's a new lightweight polyethylene terephthalate body panel concept, thus the reason for the matte black finish of the color-injected panels. A bold direction taken in an attmpt to reduce fuel consumption.

Besides, if it were a SRT-10 Ram, there would be melted gobs of rubber up the sides of the truck bed and the rear tires would've exploded by now, rims and all!

@Bee1: I'm trying to figure out where that you get that this was a manual trans vehicle, or that they won't mate the V10 to a stick. I hear that this is a special SRT-10 with the Viper's aluminum V-10 and a seven speed manual. Did I mention the independent rear suspension and all-wheel drive?

If you're gonna start rumors, ya might as well make 'em good!

The coefficient of drag will be so bad, that when you arrive at your destination, you open the hood to let all the extra air whoosh out.
