The Dodge Ram 3500 doesn't have the Viper engine. They have a 5.9ltr cummins turbo diesel engine creating 325bhp and 600lb/ft of torque and can tow 7tonnes. They cost £36000+vat new in the UK. It's the Dodge Ram SRT-10 that has the 8.3ltr V10 Viper engine. With 505bhp, 525lb/ft of torque and does 0-60 in 5.2 seconds.

a fugly towing a fugly ... nice

Bow to other knowledge on the engine, it only had one pipe, at a right angle behind the off-side wheel.. Looked like something you put together with your kids techno lego kit

Definately not the SRT-10 then, they have a twin pipe on the right hand side exiting straight. The 5.9 diesel and the 5.7 petrol both have a single pipe exiting at an angle behind the right rear wheel. If it had the twin rear wheels then it'd be the 5.9 turbo diesel.

If you have a look at the Newport Imports site here http://www.newport-imports.com/newve...pg=2&sort=desc they have a 2004 F150 Harley for Sale as well as an RAM SRT-10 with multiple pictures of each including the interior. The thing that makes me laugh about the SRT-10 is that it is classed as a commercial vehicle so you would pay the minimum tax if you had it as a company car

There isn't a pic of a 2004 F150 Harley. The two tone F150 on that link is a 2003 anniversary model. There are pictures of the '04 F150, but not the Harley model. That site is pretty good with loads of pictures, but they don't have many vehicles in stock. The garage is very close to where I work, we test drove a Dodge Ram 1500 from there and got taken for a drive in a Hummer. Ended up buying from elsewhere tho as they couldn't get it quick enough. Will put some more pics up later mate, took them today just got to get them off the camera.
