Inside Design: 2004 Dodge Ram SRT-10:
The Viper Powered Performance Truck...
It ain’t bragging if you can do it. With a maximum speed of 150 mph and the biggest engine in a performance pickup, the Dodge Ram SRT-10 backed up its claim as the baddest truck on the block.
The Ram SRT-10 made the most of its 500 horsepower Viper engine with a combination of high technology, performance icons and some old-fashioned hot-rodding.

“When it came to creating a 150 mph, PVO-designed Dodge Ram pickup, only the best would do,” said Dan Knott, then Director – Performance Vehicle Operations (PVO). PVO would change it’s name to SRT or Street Racing and Technology the following year. “We took the best parts available, a Viper V-10, a Dodge Ram 1500 chassis and body, Hurst shift linkage, and a Dana 60 rear axle. Pirelli tires, Bilstein shocks, a custom designed power hop damper and the braking system from the Ram Heavy Duty ensure that we can get the Ram SRT-10 slowed down for the corners.”
More than just a big engine, Ram SRT-10 added the largest standard wheels, tires and brakes offered on a production pickup. Unique in a world of look-alike trucks, the Ram SRT-10 was a radical, custom-built performance truck, straight from the manufacturer. The Dodge Ram SRT-10 blended performance cues direct from the Dodge Viper SRT-10.
