The Dodge Ram 2500 is a Tough Truck

March 1st, 2009 by Justin

Dodge has an awesome reputation for creating some of the best trucks on the market. For decades the Dodge Ram has proven itself as one of the best built trucks available and with its distinctive styling and plenty of convenient features the Dodge Ram continues today to be one of the top selling trucks available. While there are models of the Dodge Ram truck including the 1500 and the brawny 3500. For most serious truck owners that require a very strong and capable truck, the Ram 2500 fits nicely.

Here is why:

Under the Hood of the Dodge Ram 2500
The Ram 2500 offers both a 2 wheel drive and 4 wheel drive configuration. There are two engines available for the 2500. They include the standard 5.7 liter V8 that creates 345 horsepower and 375 lb ft of torque. This engine is quite capable for practically all drivers. However, if you are heavy tower or hauler, you might look into the exceptional 5.9 liter Cummins turbodiesel which produces a massive 325 horses and 610 lb ft of torque. This engine is matched with a 4 speed automatic.

The Interior of the Dodge Ram 2500
The Ram 2500 comes in plenty of configurations including a regular cab, super cab and mega cab. It should be noted that the mega cab gives you a condo like interior, but takes a way a few inches of the bed. Regarding the quality of the interior, inside you will find a very comfortable, roomy area with a nicely designed dash and many of the amenities that you will find in a passenger car. Included are quite a few amenities that make working off site more manageable- as many now use their truck as a second office once on the road.

Dual Wheel Pick Up Trucks

March 1st, 2009 by Justin

Dual wheel pick up trucks are usually considered the big, brawny grand daddy of all trucks (not including commercial trucks of course). With a dual wheeled pick up truck, you can receive plenty of power, performance, towing capacity and hauling capacity. Too be honest, most of the power in a dual wheeled or dually is overkill, however if you require lots of brawn and like the statement a dual wheel pick up truck makes, you will be mighty happy with either one of these two top dual wheel sellers. The Ford F-450 Super Duty and the Dodge 3500 Ram.

Ford F450

The Ford F-450 Super Duty
The F-450 Super Duty is as big as they come. With dual wheels you have the extra traction and stability to tow to your heart’s content. This bad boy is not only huge, but offers some of the most powerful towing capacities in it’s class. With the F-450 you can tow 24,500 pounds. Now that is pretty strong. The F-450 comes with a huge engine, a 6.4 liter turbo diesel that offers 350 horsepower and a whopping 650 lbs ft of torque. The price range for this vehicle is in the $45K to 55K for the fully loaded trim level.

The Dodge Ram 3500
The Dodge Ram is a muscular, extremely capable vehicle. This vehicle offers plenty of power and is quite practical even with its dual rear wheels. And while you may be basing your choice on which of these two dually trucks offer more power, you will be pleased to note that both the Ram 3500 and Ford F-450 both offer engines with 350 hp and 650 lb ft of torque. The Ram 3500 comes with a 6.7 liter Cummins turbodiesel that is matched to a six speed automatic transmission.

The Crossover Dodge Nitro

March 1st, 2009 by Justin

If you are looking for a vehicle that is not fully an SUV or a wagon, your best bet is a crossover. Crossovers have been taking over the industry in recent years as larger SUV’s have fallen out of favor due to their size and fuel efficiency. However, with some clever styling, you can get much of what you like from an SUV in a smaller, more affordable crossover vehicle. The Dodge Nitro is one of these vehicles. With a base that is close to $20K, this vehicle offers plenty for families looking for a practical and functional vehicle.

Dodge Nitro Crossover - 2009

Dodge Nitro Specs and Techs
The Dodge Nitro offers 3 different trim levels. They include the LX, SXT and SLT. Surprisingly, the base prices for these levels don’t vary that much. The 4 door SLT for instance comes with a V6 3.7 liter engine that delivers 210 horsepower and 235 ft lbs of torque. This is matched to a 4 speed automatic transmission.

The Interior of the Dodge Nitro
For those with families or that require a solid vehicle for commuting to work, you will be very pleased with the Dodge Nitro. Not only does the Nitro offer plenty of space, but the vehicle is laid out nicely and the materials that are inside make the interior higher quality. The dash is easy to view and nicely lighted and the entertainment console and climate control is easy to work and reach.

Fuel Efficiency
While the Dodge Nitro is not a large vehicle, the fuel efficiency is less than one would expect, but not too bad. Expect to get about 19 mpg on the highway. The base price is around the $20K mark for the lowest trim, but expect a fully loaded Nitro somewhere near $25K to $29K depending on the trim.
