So what's new on the 2005 Ram?

From : tom lawrence

Q: only thing i see is the dodge ram srt-10 will have a v-10 engine and boasts a top speed of 150 mph. cost around $45000. thats already available as a 2004 model. i dont think theres anything earth-shattering in store for the 2005 rams. the cummins 600 was announced as a 2004.5 addition and theyre starting to roll off the assembly lines now. expect ford and chevy to scramble and try and turn up their engines again further shortening their lifespan that should bring the 6.0l to what about 200 hours mtbf .
