Product Overview

Dodge Ram 1500 Mk3 is a full-size pickup in production from 2001 to 2009. It was available with a range of V6 and V8 engines that displaced 3.7 to 5.9 liters. It was available in regular Cab, Quad Cab, and Mega Cab configurations.
Pre-facelift, the Mk3 Ram 1500 was somewhat dated in design. Dodge corrected this in 2006 with a facelift that updated the front grille, bumper, and headlight assemblies.
Dodge also produced in limited numbers the SRT-10 with a 8.3L Viper V10, which was the fastest production pickup truck.
