The 1997 Dodge Ram SS/T
took the sport truck image to a new level for full-size
pick-ups. A specially-tuned 250-horsepower 5.9-liter V8 engine, chrome-tipped sport-tuned
exhaust, a muscular 17-inch aluminum wheel and performance
tire package, and Viper-like racing stripes set this truck
apart from the pack. The Ram SS/T evolved from Dodge's
success with the special edition Indy Ram, the official
truck for the 1996 Indianapolis 500 that was produced in a
limited run of just 2,802 vehicles to support Dodge's role
as Official Pace Car with the 1996 Viper GTS. When demand
for the Indy outweighed supply for the truck, Chrysler
realized they had a hit they found out the appeal wasn't
just in the tie-in to the race, but in the inherent
performance characteristics of the truck. Chrysler paid
Careful attention to maximizing content on the truck without
pricing it out of the customer's reach. |
