2011 Dodge Charger RT

2011 Dodge Charger is the Dodge brand’s flagship that proudly delivers premium, world-class E-segment sedan precision at an incredible value. The efficient and aerodynamic exterior is spiritually inspired by the iconic second-generation Charger from the late 1960s.

Built at the Brampton Assembly Plant in Brampton, Ont. (Canada), the 2011 Dodge Charger arrives in showrooms in the fourth quarter of 2010.

The Charger’s profile is also a modern affair, a result of countless hours in the wind tunnel, from its lower hood line, faster windshield and radically raked back headlights to its tighter wheel openings, lower sill and race-car-like flat underbody, the Dodge Charger effortlessly cuts thought the air with its attitude intact. The aluminum hood features dual “scallops” that bring a sculptured, performance look to the front end, while large body-side scallops deliver a striking undulating A-line across the doors.

Running front to rear is the iconic horizontal “coke bottle” or “double-diamond” body-side styling that creates a tapering silhouette accented with muscular front and rear fenders. Defining the fastback’s wide stance is an all-new signature taillamp design that incorporates 164 illuminating LEDs to form its signature “racetrack” graphic and gives the new Dodge Charger its unmistakable character from blocks away.

Interior, the all new design feature premium materials throughout. The all-new features a new thick-rimmed three-spoke Dodge steering wheel for enhanced performance feel and grip. Craftsmanship and style thanks to premium soft-touch materials and four available distinct interior color combinations.

Dodge Charger engineers were able to tune the cabin for sound quality (rather than sound level) by isolating powertrain, road and wind noise. In addition, Dodge Charger’s unibody packages material and structural design improvements, including dual-pane acoustic windshield and front-door side glass, body-cavity silencing foam, under-flush roll-framed doors with triple seals and acoustic wheel-well liners to absorb road noise and quiet the cabin.

The all-new 2011 Dodge Charger SE and Charger Rallye feature the new 3.6-liter Pentastar engine. Dodge Charger R/T lineup features the legendary 5.7-liter HEMI™ V-8 engine with four-cylinder mode FuelSaver Technology. This is innovative AWD system seamlessly transitions between RWD and AWD with no driver intervention.

2010 Dodge Ram 3500 Laramie Mega Cab

2010 Dodge Ram 3500 Heavy Duty Mega Cab has the truck’s size over 20 feet long, and seven of those feet extend past the 160.5-inch wheelbase. The four-wheel-drive chassis with 7.5-inches of ground clearance means entering and exiting this vehicle can be a bit of a chore.

It have such a nice interior in a work truck may not seem to make a ton of sense initially. In the case of the 2010 Dodge Ram 3500 Laramie Mega Cab, you’re graced with an extraordinarily luxurious interior. Sure, it could be used as a daily driver, but that would be completely missing the point.

The recirculating ball steering seemed appropriately weighted for the uneasy task of keeping four tons of pickup going straight down the highway. Nobody is buying a truck like this for its handling capabilities, which is good, since the absolute limits are predictably low.

Though the 350 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque seems down on paper to its heavy duty rivals from Ford and General Motors, we don’t think many prospective buyers are going to feel that the 6.7-liter Cummins turbo diesel engine (a $7,615 option over the base Hemi V8) is underpowered. According to Chrysler, the Ram HD can tow up to 17,000 pounds when properly equipped, and the truck feels as if it could pull the moon out of its rotational orbit with Earth.

2010 Dodge Ram 2500 Heavy Duty

The Dodge Ram Heavy Duty is the first to market, and it’s already ahead of the game. When Ford and GM’s all-new heavy-dutys come out, both new diesel engines are going to require urea injection to meet emissions requirements that take effect January 2010. The Ram Heavy Duty’s Cummins inline-six turbodiesel, which puts out an impressive 350 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, met those requirements — without urea — over a year ago.

The Ram 2500 and 3500 use a NOx adsorber with precious metals that convert the NOx into inert gases. Not only does this mean the Ram’s emissions and exhaust systems are less complex than those in the upcoming Ford Super Duty and Silverado/Sierra HD (which could improve reliability and help keep maintenance costs down), it also means that, at the dealership, the Ram will very likely have a price advantage over its competitors.

And while in this size category diesel is king, there are plenty of heavy-duty truck buyers who prefer gas power. The 5.7-liter Hemi, the Ram’s base engine, has the most horsepower (383) and torque (400 pound-feet) of any V-8 in its class — and only the Ford Super Duty’s V-10 has more torque than the Hemi, but it still has less horsepower.
