By adding to the rear-wheel-drive edition a 205mm heavy-duty front axle and an electric shift-on-the-fly part-time transfer case, Dodge incorporates the option of four-wheel drive into its short-bed version of the 2009 Ram Pickup 1500 SLT with a regular cab. Seating three, the truck runs on a 4.7-liter V8 SOHC engine with a five-speed automatic transmission, and features a bed that’s 76.3 inches long and 66.4 inches wide. With 310 horsepower, it’s capable of towing 8,850 pounds and carrying 1,410 pounds of payload.
