10 Things You Should Know About the 2010 Dodge Ram HD
"Heavy Duty" only begins to cover it.
#1. Updated competition for the 2010 Dodge Ram HD is just around the corner.
You might wonder why there’s little mention elsewhere in this article about the 2010 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty’s competitors, including the Ford F-Series Super Duty and the Chevrolet Silverado HD (and GMC Sierra HD). We did drive current examples of each during our test of the Ram HD, but with redesigned versions of the Ford and GM twins arriving within a matter of months, comparisons to the outgoing models doesn’t make a lot of sense. Unfortunately, few specs on those new-for-2011 trucks are available, though we do know that the Super Duty’s current diesel engine (with the same power as Dodge’s Cummins) will be replaced by a larger Power Stroke, that a new 6.2-liter V8 replaces both the 5.4-liter V8 and 6.8-liter V10, and that the innovative Work Solutions system will continue to be offered. For the Silverado/Sierra HD, reports suggest that a new Duramax will deliver greater power than the Cummins.
