Grandma-na-viper
I have owned this truck for 10 years... all I can say is "HOLD ON". Not a good idea to "hot dog" in the rain, the rear end is so light it could get away from ya.. but on dry flat surface... good bye! Still handles like a dream at 11yrs old. Interior still like new. Exterior paint didn't last more than a few years.

Muscle Truck
I bought the truck 2 months ago and cannot believe that I used to to think my Vortec 454 Chevy was powerful. This truck is awesome to say the least. The V10, 22" wheels, 500 watt stereo, stainless steel trim package are all great. Some owners complain about the mileage, I didn't buy the SRT because it was fuel efficient I bought it because it was fun. I am 40 years old and the truck is one of the fastest vehicles I have ever driven and the fastest I have ever owned. Nice job Dodge!

God I love This Truck
Well, If you're looking for fuel efficiency, don't buy it. If you're looking to crush sports cars, Lightnings, C600's, this is the truck for you. I've even beat a few SRT8's, almost all SRT4's, and ticked off a few Vettes while it was still stock. What's really fun is when you hit it, and put everyones head in the back of the seat! I for sure bought the right truck for fun.
Ram SRT10 is a BLAST!
This truck is so much fun! The engine is incredible, the shifts are fairly short considering the length of the lever. Stereo is pretty good, the sub will make the rear view mirror a little tough to see on the heavy bass - worth it to enjoy the good vibrations. So far gas mileage has been pretty good, much better than expected. Handling has also been very positive as have the very comfortable and supportive seats. Hope the quality holds up, so far so good.
The Beast
I went looking for a high performance truck from the start. One test drive and I had to have this beast. Don't give a darn about gas mileage. I get about 12mpg in the city and 16mpg on the road. Added a Volant cool air system which makes the engine compartment even better looking. I've had so many people just want to stop me and look at the engine. Plan on adding a supercharger when my extended warranty runs out. Lambo doors in a few weeks for looks.
One Great Truck
Extremely fun to drive. Very comfortable interior. Looks great inside and out. Lots of positive comments.
Pure Fun
What can I say that has not already been said? It is pure fun and excitment to drive, and it sure makes heads turn when you drive by. I had to get used to how well this "truck" handles. It bounced me around because the response is so fast and exact. I love it and don't plan on replacing it any time soon.
I would marry this truck!
I absolutly love this truck. The looks you get, the power it has. This truck will put you back in your seat! I don't think I will ever sell it. I got the black one and it looks really sharp, but hard to keep clean. That is the only thing I would change.
Ram SRT-10
When I saw my Ram SRT I fell in love with the way it looked. It looks like it is flying when it is just sitting still. The front of the truck is unlike any other truck out there, being styled very aggressive looking and shouting get out of my way. The interior is actually very comfortable and stylish. The performance of the truck is the main reason I had to have it. The Viper drivetrain is the heart of the truck which makes it a beast. I have driven the truck on small trips to visit family which is 130 miles round trip. The speed limit is 55 mph the entire trip. The truck has averaged 16.5 to 17.8 mpg at a constant speed of 62 mph in 6th gear at 1400 rpm several times. Highway miles only!
For my wife !!!
My wife had a 4 dr truck she loved. She drove it tell it started falling apart. Her dream car is a Viper so I bought her the best of both. A 4 dr srt-10 Viper she loves the truck and I rarely get to drive this one. It has excellent acceleration and braking to match great combo for a truck and fun to drive.

Worth every penny
This truck is awesome! I own a 1969 Plymouth GTX with a 4spd and 440-6pac engine and this truck brings all that power and fun back...AND MORE! 500HP and A/C? You cant beat that. I would stay away from the new 4 door version. This truck is a head turner and a magnet for anyone that appreciates a true factory performance vehicle. I was getting food at the local fast food joint and some kid who worked at the jiffy lube across the street ran down just to get a picture of it so he could tell he friends that he actually saw a REAL SRT-10 Ram in person! When did that ever happen to you in any of your cars? If you dont mind replacing a tire for $350 a piece, this truck is for you!
Daily Driver
I use the truck as daily driver find the truck easy live with do to the engines low end torque and comfy seats. Owned a SVT Lightning before the SRT. The SRT's more rigid frame gives more precise handling. The brakes equal my EVO VIII in feel and stopping power. MPG is accptable at 14 combined highway and city.
station to station but fun in between
my first experience with this truck was, Thats it? I guess i was thinking it will handle like a porshe, but who was i kidding. This is a heavy, jaw dropping ass whoopin truck. Built for one thing. Acceleration and crazy burnouts.
Pure Power
Awesome Truck... Demands attention everywhere it goes. People of all ages seem to enjoy the looks of this truck.
1 MPG per Cylinder
What a fun truck. It is without a doubt the baddest truck ever built. My biggest complaint is when people ask me how I like that Hemi engine. Maybe if the "viper powered" decal was bigger that wouldn't happen. Brakes are the best of any car, let alone truck out there. handling is great, for a truck. Ride is stiff, but not bad. I'd rather tow with my diesel Ram, so I do. The SRT is just for hauling around town. 0-60 is good, 0-120 is great, 70- 120, not so good, but it is a heavy brick wall to move through the air at those speeds. Buy one and step up, this is the only truck a true "car-guy" can drive.
Oregon viper
I bought my 05 Viper SRT 10 in Tucson AZ. When I first seen it I knew I had to have it. It is white with blue stripes that goes from the front to the rear of the vehicle. 2 dr with all the bells and whistles of course 6 speed. I'm running on 22" like any true player would. My truck is 99 out of 200 made that year. I was told that this might possibly be a collectors item. I presently have 6000 miles on it, shall I sell or keep?!
Outstanding Performance
Power and performance that rivals my 1995 Viper, with excellent fit and finish.
Wow!
Shifting (flat) from 1st to 2nd has to be, I don't know, just WOW. This truck handles like no truck I've ever been in and better than most cars. The heck with the gas prices, I love this Truck. Didn't think I would like shifting again but as for now it's fun again. MoPar did it right with the SRT-10.
This truck is awesome
I have never enjoyed driving a vehicle like this since I was 16 and got my first vehicle. Drives like a sports car and I do not feel like I am scooting along on the ground. Anyone looking for a performance truck should take a serious look at this vehicle.
B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L truck
It is a really nice truck to own. It turns heads everywhere you go. If only gas was cheaper than $2.00 dollars so that one could ride it more.
V-8 HUNTER
This is the best truck I have ever purchased. I have done some extensive mods (custom paint, lambo doors, rims, exhaust, cold air, etc.) but it just added to the fun. I go to many car shows and always get tons of questions or people just look in awe at the engine. It's a shame they stopped producing them. If they ever decide to start up again with maybe 600 hp plus engine, I would be first in line.
Viper with wings
This truck is scary fast! If you want to go real fast this truck is for you. Its impressive handling will make you want to go to the nearest speedway and really test it out. The interior is very well designed, and there is plenty of room. The seats are very comfortable. The sound system is fantastic.This is by far, the most exciting vehicle I have ever driven, and owned!
I love it!
I have had my 2004 SRT-10 for 6 months. It has performed great, it is fun to drive, get's lots of looks, runs very well - will hold it's own with anything on the road! The only negative is 3rd gear is hard to find under high rpm shifting and reverse is hard to shift into.
The beast
Absolutely the best vehicle I have ever owned, and I'm 50 and have owned a few! Fit and finish is excellent! I have had no problems with this truck, although I only have 4,000 miles on it so far.
Ram
The truck is a ball to drive and handles great. I haven't felt that much power since I had my LS6 70 Chevelle. Dodge did it right building this truck. Try it, you'll like it.
SRT-10, YES WAY
Just an awesome truck.
SRT-10
I have owned vehicle for a little over 6 months. Only problem was with the radio. Two days after purchase it stopped working. But It took Chrysler over 5 months to repair the problem because the part was on back order.The truck has great braking, handles more like a sports car than a truck. First look at the undercarriage and you can see that it is more than a pickup with a large engine. Much more comfotable than a GTS or a SRT10 Viper. Not as fast but more fun to drive.
2005 Ram SRT-10 Power
The power of the SRT-10 is awesome, you really feel the torque every time you drive!! It is a rush when passing traffic, as you step on the accelerator and within seconds the person you passed is now a figment of your imagination!! Anyone with a heavy right foot and the love of a pick-up truck will definitely not be disappointed with this machine!! I will own one of these for the rest of my driving days!!
Pricey performance
Fun to drive, but not for everyday use. Gas mileage is horrible and have had problems with fuel injection system.
1 Fast truck
You can write a review of this truck with just 3 letters, fun! Since buying the truck my C5 vette has been sitting in the garage gathering dust. This truck is just too much fun to park!
Remove before flight
Hurricane totaled my '04 and i just had to have another. It's roomy, sporty and has unbelievable power. It may not pin you in your seat, but your neck will snap!
The Best Truck Ever
This truck is fun to drive. One can feel the power as soon as you start it. Not all cars give you the same feel. My wife has the Porsche Cayenne Turbo and it doesn't come close, it just doesn't feel lke a true 500hp car. With this Dodge baby you know what you have under the hood. The driving is great, although, the turns are a bit wider than most trucks. The only compaint I get from my wife is that the seats are not very comfortable for long travel, and the gas usage, well let's put it this way, those who buy this type of trucks really shouldn't care about that, we know is high, but this truck is a luxury. Last word, this truck make you feel like you're driving a nascar.
SRT10 smokes
Hands down this truck sets the curve.. personally I would like all that power and performance in a 4x4 .This is my first truck not a 4x4. and was aprehensive, but I am happy with the performance. I know however the day will come when it is stuck on the job site and I am looking for another powered axle. but until then, giddy up!
Bad to the Bone
This the pinnacle of performance trucking. it's a shame that these beast are not produced anymore!
Bad paint, tough truck
The Ram 1500 4x4 4 door is a strong truck with some problems. It has a view issue when turning to your left. The exterior paint is failing from under the clear coat to the top. Bad grip during wet conditions. It has type of skip when A/C is on and in idle. The dealership showed that all the '05s have it. The bed cover (extra) lock quit working. Engine is powerful though.
