2009 Dodge Ram Revealed
The 5.7L is going to produce 380 hp and 404 ft lbs. Hopefully Ford has something up its sleeve for the F-150. I really like the bed rails that open up thats kinda cool. http://www.leftlanenews.com/dodge-ram.html

Me too, I think that was a great idea, because I always have a couple of fishing rods with me all the time in the summers. I also like the interior, but I was wronged by Chrysler a few years ago and can't seem to go back

I tried posting a comment, but it said something that it had to be review by moderator? It wasn't bad or anything.

IMHO, the best looking of all the new trucks. Yes, even the 09 F150.

Seems like Dodge is flying under the radar ( around here and other forum sites I puruse ) with this new design and could surprise alot of people.

I heard about the new improved HEMI, but 380HP and 404 ft-lbs! That is alot more then I expected, considering the current HEMI is 345/375. I bet this thing could run with the Tundra speed wise.

Holy crap! That trucks looks amazing! HUGEEE increase over the older trucks

Smiggs how can you say that the Ram is better looking than the 09 F-150 when you haven't seen good pictures like that of the F-150?

You've gotta admit. The new ownership is fianally doing something about the interiors. The new rear suspension looks good, w/ sway control!
And Yes, The RAIL B0X is a very cool idea!

Interior is nice, alot of features too. Heated and cooled seats, heated steering wheel, 150watt AC inverter, cooler built in the back (at least in sport models), and the little compartment above the glovebox is nice as well. I have to say, dodge really has done a good job with 09

I guess there has to be one in every crowd....

All I need is one official picture of both to come up with my OPINION!





Dodge wins hands down.
