Dodge Ram 1500
Unveiled with pomp in Detroit last year, surrounded by bulls and cowboys, the 2009 Dodge Ram has a new front end that still imposes respect. This year, a new four-door Crew Cab version is added to the already busy line-up. On the mechanical side, the 5.7-litre V8 HEMI engine inherits the VVT technology, as it reaches 380 horsepower. The new multi-arm rear suspension is an industry first.
