“It’s a challenging time to introduce an all-new light-duty pickup, but Dodge never backs down from a challenge,” said Mike Accavitti, Director – Dodge Brand and SRT Global Marketing and Communications. “With more standard features and a lower MSRP than 2008 models, the all-new 2009 Dodge Ram gives consumers thousands of dollars more in value. Our all-new 2009 Dodge Ram has it all: head-turning design, class-leading interior amenities, capability for every need, customer convenience features inside and out, built-in craftsmanship and safety for every occupant – all at a great value. And with our new crew-size cab model, we’re now competing in the fastest-growing and highest-volume part of the light-duty pickup segment.”

For 2009, the all-new Dodge Ram will be offered in regular cab, Quad Cab and crew-size cab configurations, with three box lengths: 8-foot (regular cab), 6-foot-4-inches (regular cab and Quad Cab) and a new-for-2009 box length of 5-foot-7-inches ( Ram Crew 1500). All fit in a standard-sized garage. Five trim levels are offered: ST, SLT, TRX, Sport and Laramie.

Each box holds up to five cases (120 cans) of 12-ounce beverages. Total capacity is 7.4 cubic feet – slightly more than the capacity of a 55-gallon drum.

Another new segment-first innovation for the 2009 Dodge Ram Crew 1500 is a pair of “store-in-the-floor” storage bins with removable liners that offer even more versatile storage – large enough for ten 12-ounce beverages and ice.

Equipped with the new HEMI, the all-new 2009 Dodge Ram R/T regular-cab 4x2 model with a short bed and 4:10 gears blasts from 0-60 mph in less than 6 seconds – best-in-class performance.
