2004 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 SRT-10 Review
Summary
What Edmunds.com says
If you loved the muscle cars of the 1960s but were too young or too poor to get in on the high-test fun, the SRT-10 offers a second chance at piloting a truly brawny Dodge.
Pros
Monstrous Viper V10, sharp handling for a truck, macho good looks, roomy interior.
Cons
Lousy fuel economy, no quad cab version.
What's New for 2004
The SRT-10 is a new high-performance sport truck based on the existing Ram pickup.

Review
I bought the SRT 10 to replace my other dodge 5.7 although I had it up to 425 hp. Gas E/mpg is about the same as the Hemi, plus in Chicago you need to be faster just to merge in traffic because no one will let you in but in the SRT they don't have a chance. Stock right now adding an HX40 turbo very soon. Plus nothing beats a Ram. Semper Fi.
Favorite Features
6 gears of fun "more fun than a roller coaster!!!"
Suggested Improvements
More HP= Better MPG unless you own stock in the oil companies

Review
Dodge is awesome. I mean, what other truck has a 505 cu. in. V10 with 500 horsepower? None. The performance is amazing. The interior is luxurious and roomy. It is built extremely well. Rims are awesome, resembling the 2003 Viper. This truck is one of a kind. The gas mileage is horrible, but come on, it's got 500 horsepower and everyone will respect you when they see that "Viper Powered" logo on the hood when you pull up. Dodge Power!
Favorite Features
Viper engine, manual transmission. Interior design and features. Infinity stereo system, and looks.

Review
This truck is not for any beginner driver. It will tear up the asphalt quicker than you can shift the gears. The steering takes some getting used to. It is very tight, and will go where you move it. The brake dust is a bummer on it. They work like a charm, but if you like a clean look, expect to have some towels to wipe them down when you stop. The black is very hard to keep clean. It looks nice, but it is high maintenance. Get a red or silver if you can. Wear your seat belt in this thing. It will throw you all over the cab if you don't. The gas mileage is not bad for a truck. I have gotten as little as 4, and as good as 17. I had a lead foot the first tank.
Favorite Features
Hood, and massive amount of power. This truck is going to a collector item, and with the limited production numbers and the options offered, get one and store it. I have and expect to see people seeking them like the old Chargers or Cudas in about 20 years.
Suggested Improvements
Differential lock. it will spin out if you drop the clutch with the wheels turned slightly at all.

Review
I love this truck. I wish it was a little lower and the subwoofer had a little more thump. I get 15.7 mpg between city and highway. I got 16.7 mpg on the road before I did two modifications to the truck. What truck do you know that they give you mileage figures of 9mpg and 11 mpg, and I got much more then that. I had two new Chevys, and they were both wrong. I got much less then what they told me they would get. I get between 18mpg and 21 mpg on the road with the two modifications that I did. This is a 10 cylinder with 500 horses. I love the torque. It looks great.
Favorite Features
Horses, torque, 6spd tranny, looks. That front end. Interior, seats.
Suggested Improvements
The subwoofer needs more thump. Lower the truck a couple inches. Give it a five or better yet a six speed automatic tranny.
