At the 2002 Detroit Motorshow Dodge unveiled the boldest, baddest and fastest full-size pickup, the new Viper-powered Dodge Ram SRT-10 show truck. A production version of this show truck will appear at a later date.
Filling the engine-bay of the Ram SRT-10 is the largest engine in a factory pickup truck--the 8.3-liter V-10 that powers America's ultimate sports car, the all-new 2003 Dodge Viper. The V-10's horsepower rating easily surpasses any other pickup--not to mention virtually every production sports car on the road.
The Dodge Ram SRT-10 is one of three new 'extreme performance' models from the Dodge brand. Along with the all-new Dodge SRT-4 and Viper, which will also carry the SRT-10 name, all three were developed by a newly created entity called Performance Vehicle Operations (PVO). This new group brings together the expertise from Chrysler Group's specialty vehicle, Mopar parts business and motorsports operations, using the same engineers who created the original Dodge Viper and Chrysler Prowler, as well as the NASCAR-winning Dodge Intrepids and Le Mans-winning Vipers.
Leveraging the profitable high-end conversion experience of Mercedes-AMG, PVO has been charged with creating extreme performance vehicles not only for Dodge, but also Jeep and Chrysler brand product lines. Going forward, PVO will offer low-volume specialty versions of vehicles, as well as unique brand offerings.
The Dodge Ram SRT-10's power is channeled through a Viper six-speed manual transmission that connects to a modified differential and new driveshaft. The Ram SRT-10 will accelerate to sixty mph in an estimated 5.0 seconds and deliver an estimated top speed of 150 mph. More impressively, Ram SRT-10 runs the 0-100-0 mph dash in an estimated 18 seconds.
Inside, red-piped leather and carbon fiber-look accents complement the performance attitude established by the SRT-10's outward appearance. Silver-faced gauges with Viper font and graphics have an appropriately recalibrated speedometer and tachometer to accommodate the SRT-10's visceral performance. The best-in-class interior space is maintained from the standard Ram.
Company press release, last updated before 12 / 01 / 2004
The 2002 Dodge Ram SRT 10 Concept as displayed at the Detroit Auto Show had the best tonneau bed cover I've seen yet for the Dodge Ram. I just picked up my new 2005 Ram last month and would like to put this same cover on my truck, however, I fear it was unique to the concept vehicle, and not ever made available.
If anybody has any info on this cover, I would love to hear from you...thanks, Driftwood
PS-I'm impressed that Ultimatecarpage.com has all the pics of this truck and the great article...

Say what you will, no one has a truck like this , not Ford, not Chevy. I bought a 2002 4 by and put a deposit on this truck when I heard about it over a year ago. Well the wait has been worth it. My dealer says that they are going to be one of the few dealers in Canada to get it in as it will be in short supply, and I am going to get it. I have bugged the dealer since my deposit was put on it and I did so not knowing what the price is going to be. I told them , make darn sure that NO ONE takes it out for a test drive, I have my deposit on it. Well they say it can be ordered in the spring so I assume , April. Can't wait.
