One distinction is an automatic transmission - a super-duty four-speed that is specially tweaked to provide optimum performance with the capability of towing 8,150 pounds. The Dodge Ram SRT10 Quad Cab has several other unique features supporting its towing capability, including a special transmission cooler, heavy-duty torque converter, special front and rear strut and spring assemblies and all-season tires.



A Balanced Approach to Performance

SRT engineers recognize there is much more to creating a truly complete performance package than just straight-line performance.


The Dodge Ram SRT10 and Ram SRT10 Quad Cab were engineered for overall performance, beginning with a new-for-2006 fully hydroformed and boxed frame for increased strength and torsional rigidity, and fitted with fully tuned front and rear strut assemblies. Modified steering and independent front suspension carry the load up front, while in the rear, performance tuned springs and Bilstein monotube shock absorbers keep things firmly planted on the ground and smooth through the corners. The Dodge Ram SRT10 also is equipped with axle snubbers and a rear sway bar.


Both the Dodge Ram SRT10 and Ram SRT10 Quad Cab ride on 22-inch Dodge Viper style custom wheels. Dodge Ram SRT10 regular cab models are shod with 305/40R22 Pirelli Scorpion tires, while Dodge Ram SRT10 Quad Cab models are equipped with Pirelli Scorpion all-season tires.


For the braking aspect of performance, SRT engineers developed a special system for the Dodge Ram SRT10 and Ram SRT10 Quad Cab that utlilize heavy-duty Dodge Ram components and unique four-port opposed-piston calipers. A three-channel anti-lock braking system (ABS) actuates custom red brake calipers up front that grip 15-inch rotors, and in the rear, modified heavy-duty red calipers grip14-inch rotors. Additionally, front brakes are cooled with air ducted from the front fascia to reduce heat build-up.




Great Looks With Function

Functional performance is also an important part of the SRT DNA in the 2006 Dodge Ram SRT10 exterior.

The muscular shape of the Dodge Ram SRT10 and Ram SRT10 Quad Cab were developed with the help of wind-tunnel testing and display cues reminiscent of Dodge's NASCAR Craftsman Truck series entries: a new-for-2006 front fascia equipped with a chin spoiler, signature cross-hair grille and sculpted sides. There's also a unique hood with functional air intake that provides additional engine bay cooling. Details befitting the Dodge Ram SRT10's outrageous attitude include "Viper Powered" badges on the hood sides and a specially designed rear fascia with cutout for the massive dual exhaust tips.


A body-color aluminum tonneau cover over the pickup bed, outfitted with a unique spoiler for aerodynamic efficiency, is standard for 2006 on both Dodge Ram SRT10 models. Special gas struts help in raising and lowering the tonneau cover for easy access to the pickup bed, which features a bed tray for protecting bed and cargo.


Body color choices for both the Dodge Ram SRT10 and Ram SRT10 Quad Cab for 2006 include Black, Inferno Red and Mineral Gray Metallic.
