2008 Dodge Ram 3500 ST SWB Quad Cab SRW pickup 4-door manual
Advertisements
Ram 3500 power trains are similar to the 2500 series, which means buyers have a choice of a 330-hp, 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 or an optional Cummins 6.7-liter turbo-diesel inline-six. Quad Cab pickups can have single or dual rear wheels. The ST model is new for 2008 and includes chrome bumpers, speed control, keyless entry and power locks, windows and mirrors.
The Dodge Ram 3500 is the one-ton heavy-duty Dodge pickup. The boldly style Ram replace the previous Dodge pickup in 1994 and for 1998, the Quad Cab was added. The Ram 1500 was redesign for 2002 and the heavy-duty Ram was update for 2003 with styling that distinguishes it from the light-duty truck.
The Dodge Ram 3500 light-duty pickups are smooth and refined. Their cabs are comfortable and convenient, among the roomiest in their respective classes. The Quad Cab is handy for hauling friends and family but even the Regular Cab is roomy.
The 2008 Dodge Ram 3500 adds the SXT trim level. The Laramie receives Dark Maple Burl wood grain accents, electric-shift transfer case is standard on SLT 4X4 and Laramie 4X4 and a tire pressure monitoring system is standard on all Ram 3500s with a GVWR of less than 10,000 lbs.
ST is the base model with vinyl upholstery and wind-up windows. ST comes standard with air conditioning, tilt steering, variable intermittent wipers, 40/20/40 vinyl seat, AM/FM/CD stereo, rear-wheel ABS, 17-inch steel wheels, full-size spare tire and a V8 and electric-shift transfer case on 4WD. Options include a bed liner, trailer tow mirrors, cruise control, four-wheel ABS, side-curtain airbags, power adjustable pedals, 17-inch chrome-clad aluminum wheels and a power sliding rear window for the Quad Cab.
According to KBB Editors'
Heavy-duty pickups are a special breed of hauler. These full-size leviathans are built to tote and transfer major payloads and pull trailers weighing in excess of 10,000 pounds. Chrysler's entrants in this segment, which includes competitors from Chevrolet, GMC and Ford, are the Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups. Available in Regular, Quad or Mega Cab configurations, with rear- or four-wheel drive, short or standard bed lengths, shorter or longer wheelbases, single or dual rear wheels, multiple trim levels and HEMI V8 gasoline or Cummins Turbo Diesel power, these ultra-Rams offer everything the basic Ram 1500 pickup does while adding even greater all-around.
