NEVER BACK DOWN FROM A CHALLENGE
Take a truck this far, and you start closing in on outright perfection. Introducing the next big leap for pickups - the incredible all-new 2009 Dodge Ram 1500. This is where all-new styling translates into best-in-class aerodynamics. Where a class-exclusive five-link coil-spring rear suspension means exceptional comfort without compromising payload. Where a redesigned 5.7-liter HEMI V8 featuring innovative Multi-Displacement System (MDS) generates more power with greater efficiency. In fact, we met the challenge head on, with an all-new model: 2009 Ram Crew 1500 features class-exclusive storage so innovative, it turns the tables on conventional pickups. This is how you grab life by the horns - with the
all-new 2009 Dodge Ram 1500. |
PURE CRAFTSMANSHIP, EVERYWHWERE YOU TURN.
| Now the going is better than ever. The refinements include interiors that have been completely redesigned, with comfort and convenience setting a new standard. This pickup distinguishes itself with touches you can immediately feel and see. The soft-touch upholstery, panels and door treatments along with cloth seats that feature Stain Repel fabrics - also resistant to odors and static make this a joy to drive. |
 ALL-NEW INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROLS Improvements are everywhere, from fit and finish to the ergonomics of the interior. Attention to small details - like larger controls to better accommodate gloved hands - give all-new unexpected touches of luxury and convenience throughout.PREMIUM UPHOLSTERY WITH AVAILABLE STITCHING ACCENTS The new interior focuses on total comfort and next-generation convenience. Look for improved leather-trimmed upholstery and seat bolsters, with tailor-made stitching. |
HEMISTRY
Available for the all-new 2009 Ram 1500 is the most recent iteration of the legendary 5.7-liter HEMI V8 with MDS, now with over a dozen new features, including:
MORE POWER. New cylinder heads feature high-flow ports, larger valves and increased compression ratio; results are measured directly in performance.
MORE TORQUE.New for the HEMI V8 is a technology not uncommon in Formula One race cars - Variable Valve Timing [VVT]. VVT offers increased engine breathing throughout the rpm range by varying the points at which the valves open and close in conjunction with piston position. Results are tangible: better performance, more efficient operation, and increased torque for towing and hauling.
MORE EFFICIENCY. Note the new Short Runner Valve [SRV] Active Intake Manifold. Here, air intake flow is more efficiently controlled by changing port length based on engine rpm. At low speeds, the manifold uses a longer port path for abundant low-end torque; at higher speeds, the manifold uses a short port; air moves faster into the combustion chamber. The SRV manifold contributes to more power and torque.
REAL FUEL SAVINGS WITH MDS. The innovative Multi-Displacement System [MDS] is genius at work. By seamlessly deactivating half of the cylinders, MDS transforms that legendary V8 into a 4-cylinder fuel sipper. |
BEST-IN-CLASS AERODYNAMICS
| What you see is a dramatic forward -raking grille and new exterior - but the story is bigger: This redesign is about reducing air friction and drag. A design that helps improve fuel consumption, further reduces wind noise, and channels rain and water away from the windshield more effectively. Triple-sealing for doors helps lock out road noise, create an air tight seal, and boost the interior comfort level. As part of the tailgate design, the integrated rear spoiler also functions to channel air flow away from the body - with measurable improvements that help reduce aero drag. |
BORN TO LEAD. BRED TO PULL.
| Full-size towing capability: You think powertrain, but we offer a power trip. 2009 Ram 1500 now offers new Electronic Range Select[ERS] and its new available floor console shift lever, allowing you to manually limit the top available gear. Additional towing-made-easy systems - like Trailer Sway Control [TSC] and Brake Assist - come standard; they're all part of the extraordinary Electronic Stability Program [ESP] system. Even the tow hooks and trailer hitch have been redesigned. It all gives you exceptional payload and towing capability, enhanced control, better ride quality and handling - and stopping power like never before. |
THINK INSIDE THE BOX
| BED EXTENDER/DIVIDER It instantly adapts, allowing customization of the cargo area at any time. It's stored at the front of the bed when not in use. Pop it out, unfold it, put it in place - and you've extended your cargo area by an appreciative amount. Also note the cargo rail system with four fully adjustable cleats. It's all part of the innovative, fully integrated RamBox Cargo Management System. |
 CLASS-EXCLUSIVE, ALL-NEW RAMBOX. Meet the RamBox Cargo Management System, for capability that's all-new and all-inclusive: dry, lockable and lighted storage bins, one on each side of the bed, large enough for big tools, a bag of golf clubs, camping gear, or just stuff for a day in the mountains. |
 IN-FLOOR STORAGE Innovative and class-exclusive, and only on the all-new Ram Crew 1500.DUAL GLOVE BOXESTake convenience to the next level - intelligent interior design at its best on Laramie, SLT, TRX and Sport models. |
 UNDER-THE-REAR-SEAT STORAGE Lift either section of the 60/40 split rear seat for more storage possibilities. |
