It can tow your boat for a weekend away, and carry all of your family's luggage and supplies at the same time.
Wouldn't the regular Dodge Ram suffice? Pick-up trucks aren't meant to be driven like sports cars, in my opinion. They were designed with utility in mind and that's really where they belong. Nevertheless, more power doesn't hurt, it's just rather superfluous.

I thought it was seriously uncool because it looks ugly; performance and utility and subsidiary to looks in this section of the forum.

Warning! Coming up, is the opinion of a European residing in the States!

Seriously Uncool! Can it get more redneck than this? What's the purpose of it, really? What's the purpose of any pick-up truck? They are big, slow, wasteful and promote "cockyness". From the americans I know I get the impression that the bigger the truck you have, you are a bigger man. I think they should scrap the lot. Trucks in Europe are used only for businesses and it is impossible to see a 16-year old boy with baseball cap and football jacket driving a truck, thinking he is so cool.
Ban the pick-up trucks!

Im not really a fan of pickups in general, but I have always liked how the dodge ram looks (especially this one) because it looks so angry and fierce. No one can really doubt the performance specs given the size and weight. However, it seems that most people hate it just because when the they see it they think "oh no, its American". Too bad, as what should be at least a cool car is dubbed seriously uncool.

The SRT10 is sub zero.

1. It serves no real purpose. Just like an Enzo, Countach, DB9, Veyron, etc.

2. It's dangerous. It scares Europeans in little Fiat Pandas who believe the EU should outlaw it.

3. It's big. It doesn't fit on teeny-weenie European roads designed
for one-horse carriages and three cylinder Smart cars.

4. It reminds Europeans that Americans pay 1/2 as much as they do for gasoline.

5. It reminds Europeans that their governments tax the shit out of them.

6. It reminds Europeans that more Americans (even trailer-trash rednecks) can afford cars and trucks and can afford to drive what we want where we want.

7. It's economical. An SRT10 uses 97% less fuel than Al Gore's Gulfstream V.

8. It pisses-off environmentalists.

9. 26.4% of the cars registered in the EU will fit in the bed of a SRT10.

10. It takes up 13.9% more room than the average London flat.

I think this truck should be rated Cool at least. come on it has a Viper's V10 that sounds glorious!! and its a quick truck. plus there's a Twin Turbo packages which makes this truck sound even better (there nothing like the sounds of Turbos)...

Also its wayyyyy better than the Lightning F-150..(and yes i don't like fords) well exceptions of the Ford GT and the Shelby GT500(which isn't that good either)

P.S I'm not a redneck..
