The 2004 Dodge Ram SRT-10 is a high performance pickup truck with the biggest engine ever installed in a production passenger pickup truck in the USA. The 8.3L Viper engine delivers an output power of 500 bhp at 5600 rpm and 525 lb-ft torque at 4200 rpm. It reaches the speed of 60 mph in 4.9 seconds and the top speed is about 153 mph. The Dodge Ram SRT-10 features T56 six speed manual transmission and the gear shifts can be performed easily at higher speeds.
Only available in regular cab in 2004, Black was the favorite color with 1,269 black trucks being sold out of the total production of only 3,057.
According to MOTOR TREND magazine, on March 29, 2004:
"If you fire a 12-gauge shotgun packed with 00 buck, you'll get a sense of what it's like to pull the trigger on a Ram SRT-10: a loud roar, followed by a cloud of smoke, and, suddenly, heavy metal flying through space. The only difference is that this truck's Viper-sourced V-10 firepower, good for a 5.2-second 0-to-60 run, surges smoothly at your back and not abruptly against your shoulder. Dodge's Performance Vehicle Operations group has created more than just a Pirelli-melting, 500-horse cargo bed in search of a chassis. The Ram SRT-10 is a comprehensively well-matched 5150-pound performance recipe that turns a short-bed, standard-cab Ram into a sport-truck-cum-Trans-Am racer.
Installing the Viper's 8.3-liter, OHV, aluminum V-10 into the Ram's platform is philosophically straightforward, as the truck is factory-offered with a 300-horsepower, iron-block V-10 in HD form. Getting the job done, however, required numerous detail changes, including a revised intake system, oil pan, mounts, and cooling revisions. The only transmission offered is the same Tremec T56 six-speed manual used in the Viper."
The particular vehicle that we are offering is a 1-owner North Carolina truck with only 55K miles and is being sold by the estate of the original owner. It was his "baby" and spent more time in the garage than not. Truck has never been offered for sale and is not available before the January 12 Auction. Don't let the rare opportunity of owning a "Viper pickup truck" pass you by.
