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. "The Ram's design
gave us a great opportunity to take the truck in a sportier
direction," said Dodge General Manager Ray Fisher. "Its
bold, in-your-face design already had a sporty demeanor. So
by tuning the 5.9 engine, adding the exhaust modifications
and the other exterior changes, we created a unique street
version of our very successful Ram." "We produced a limited
amount of the Indy Rams to support our role as Official Pace
Car with the 1996 Viper GTS," Fisher said. "When demand far
outweighed supply for the truck, we realized we had a hit on
our hands. And when we looked into it further, we found out
the appeal wasn't just in the tie-in to the race, but in the
inherent performance characteristics of the truck." The
Dodge Ram SS/T (Super Sport Truck) was introduced in 1997
and produced thru 1998.
