There are also the older trucks in the market as to short selling; there isn't really an all-new truck for us. The 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 also is the truck with not some drastic and dynamic changes in the similar model introduced in 2007.
The truck is passing through the new interiors and also the outer skin is changed to prove chassis and also some better tuning and modified pieces. The most prominent piece amongst these s the
6.7-liter I-6 Cummins, which accounts for more than 85 percent of all Ram HD sales, which has not a single change to it for 2010.
The old model has absolutely no problems and complains at all, so it is kept the same to maintain the quality and to avoid unnecessary risk of trying something new.

Even if we evaluate the exterior design language shared, some of them are shared the same with the half ton vehicle of 2007, like the forward-leaning grille, front fenders, and headlights. Also, the HD's beltline has been raised and the wheel arches opened up to give the truck a larger presence. The hood is also enlarged to accommodate a larger grille, as well as a stronger "power bulge."
One of the reasons to enlarging was to match the need of turbo diesel which can prove very important for the coming years. The HD have made the 'big-rig' styling further pronounced, keeping the classic Dodge look as usual like bold, powerful, and capable.
The HD will go ahead with the same kind of the system of three different cab configuration as before however, the Quad Cab choice will be replaced by a true Crew Cab with six more inches of legroom for rear-seat passengers. The Crew Cab will be offered in 2500 and 3500 single-rear-wheel configurations, in long- and short-bed lengths, and also with the dually version of the 3500. Regular Cab models will be available only with the eight-foot bed, while Mega Cabs are offered only with the short box option, regardless of dual- or single-rear wheels. Despite of some limitations of bed size, the Mega Cabs are the most selling trucks in the south east and are preferred because of the best results given by the trucks.

Just similar to the exteriors, the interior is also very similar to the half tone RAM model of 2007. The new dash and gauge layout has used a different six-ring instrument cluster and an exclusive integrated center stack with quite a number of HVAC and radio knobs and buttons. The most uncommon facility the 2010 Ram HD will be having is that they have got a high-tech option that includes a 30GB hard drive, larger-screen navigation system, Sirius Backseat TV with three dynamic channels, and a 10-speaker solid surround-sound arrangement. The latest introducing Ram HD will also be enriched with dual glove boxes, upper and lower center console/armrest storage, and two in-floor storage coolers.
After the interior and the exterior detailing, there come the features of the main and master part of the Ram HD, the efficient engines. The engine options will remain with the carryover workhorses from last year, with the base engine of 5.7-liter Hemi which was revamped in 2009 with variable valve timing and five-percent-better fuel-economy numbers, rated at 383 horsepower at 5600 rpm, and 400 pound-feet at 4000 rpm, while the hands-down favorite in the HD segment will remain the Cummins 6.7-liter I-6, rated at 350 horsepower at 3000 rpm and 650 pound-feet at 1500 rpm. The very same features kept as the older model are the power plant; the three transmissions offered are the 545RFE for the Hemi; G56 manual or 68RFE auto for the Cummins, or the optional ring and pinion choices-3.42:1, 3.73:1, 4.10:1.

After keeping the similar facts as per the older models, there are also the parts which are totally changed are the towing and payload numbers, albeit only slightly. The major change being the front and rear spring rates which are revised to deal with the changing weight distributions with the new exterior metal and interior redesign, both of which added weight. Also, they have modified the front live axle by making a good up gradation to a heavier-duty U-joint to give it a stronger axle rating for the people who work the snowplows in winter. The total weight has gone substantially up but still there is no change in the framing of the exterior as per the 2007 model. The payload in certain combinations is actually less than last year's model for example; a 2WD long-bed regular cab 3500 with 4.10:1s has a 300-pound lower payload, also with maximum towing and GCWR (gross combined weight rating) numbers, there are some definitely better versions than the older ones. In regard to towing, Dodge is the only OE to make an exhaust brake on HD lineup. Also the integrated trailer brake controller with its big trucks, mounted on the left side of the steering column is added as the extra feature. The most dashing and dynamic changes being the unique Power Wagon pickup which include the front and rear electronic lockers, pushbutton anti-roll bar disconnects, monster front winch, 4.56:1 gears, and big wheels and BFG tires.The turbo diesel engine development has unique and different benefit over the turbo diesels of the Ford and GM. The HD Ram has a revealing price difference and also advantage in the complicated maintenance-heavy urea-injection systems.
The shortest definition over the older version can be said as they are the stronger and more lasting makes. The same changes are made continue to the new 2500/3500 Rams which are also coming to the commercial-grade 3500/4500/5500 chassis cab HD. There are also the verities of availability trucks like Class 3, 4 or 5 work trucks, ready for up fitting as a dump truck, tow truck off-loader, or custom project. The specialty of such new trucks is that they offer myriad configurations. The unique features of Ram HD chassis cabs have a standard exhaust brake; PTO capability, 77-gallon fuel capacity, and a 26,000-pound GCWR are a great blessing when you want to build the ultimate tow rig. All 4500/5500 models are accompanied with the Cummins 6.7-liter I-6 and are 50-state emissions legal, and 3500 trucks are offered as dually.
So, lots of verities are available to fulfill your different needs and demands. But, the Dodge Ram 1500 has so many substantial features to offer compare to the other models of market.
