The 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 2WD pickup truck gives you 310 hp in a 4.7 L V8 engine and appeals to drivers looking for strength and reliability in a truck. Choose from a four or five-speed automatic transmission or a six speed manual one. Power steering and ABS are standard for this model year.

This vehicle is designed for the occupant's comfort, with air conditioning and adjustable steering. Cruise control, power windows, locks, and mirrors are available as options, along with remote keyless entry. The options are what allow drivers to feel like they've got a truck that is customized for their specific needs.

If you decide to go with the Ram ST (available in regular or quad cab), the interior will be outfitted with heavy duty vinyl split bench seats, a six-speed manual transmission, and an AM/FM Radio with CD. The SLT 4x4 Regular Cab offers the buyer cloth bench seats, a six-speed manual transmission, and an AM/FM Sirius Satellite Radio with CD.

This light-duty pickup truck gives car buyers a comfortable ride, a roomy interior, and the capacity to haul passengers and cargo with ease. Some people would even say that the Dodge Ram is one of the most attractive vehicles available today.

For the 2008 model year, the Ram has been given a more powerful engine and an updated trailer sway bar added to the stability system (optional). Dark maple woodgrain trim is available on some models and if you are interested in driving something with a snazzy color, do check out the Detonator Yellow and Sunburst Orange offerings.

If you go with one of these new shades, you likely won't have to worry about your ride getting lost in the parking lot the next time you are at the mall (or out in the back 40 for that matter). Besides, you can throw that in the face of anyone who dares to imply that your logical side is taking over that independent sense of adventure you're so famous for.

You also have the option of choosing a Hemi engine for your Dodge Ram. The advantage to choosing this method of powering the vehicle is that four of the eight cylinders are shut down automatically when they are not needed, and you save up to 20% on your fuel costs. See, there's that practical thing again. When you accelerate, all eight cylinders spring into action to give you the extra power you need.

The 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 2WD handles well on the highway or when you need to take it somewhere a little less civilized. The 2008 Chevrolet Colorado 4WD Extended Cab, 2008 GMC Canyon 4WD Regular Cab, and the 2008 Chevrolet Colorado 4WD Regular Cab are similar products you may want to consider. With an MSRP starting at $26,995, you can get a good value for the money when you choose to go with the Dodge Ram.
