2009 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT

The 2009 Ram 1500 is Dodge's full-size pickup, the one you'd cross-shop against the F-150 and Silverado. It rides like a proper truck, with a sturdy feel and a strong frame that shrugs off rough roads. Inside, the cabin is straightforward and functional, with plenty of room for three adults and easy-to-use controls. You get a choice of regular, quad, or crew cab, and the bed is sized to handle real work. The SLT sits above the base ST and adds convenience items like power windows and locks, making it the sensible step up for daily use. Its 4.7L V8 makes 310 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque, paired with a five-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, which gives you confident pulling power off the line and in the dirt.
