2004 Dodge Ram 1500 SRT-10

When Dodge unleashed the Ram SRT-10 for 2004, it did more than build a performance pickup. It created a legend. At the time, no other factory-built truck came close to its blend of brute horsepower and outrageous speed. Powered by the same Viper-derived 8.3-liter V10 and paired exclusively in regular cab form with a Tremec 6-speed manual, the SRT-10 set a Guinness World Record as the fastest production pickup, clocking 154 mph. Even today, it remains one of the wildest machines ever offered by a domestic manufacturer. This example, a 2004 regular cab finished in Flame Red, is the enthusiast's favorite configuration. With only 10,284 miles since new, it presents as a collector-grade example that has clearly been cherished. The body features its signature power-bulged hood with functional scoop, bold SRT-10 badging, and 22-inch polished Viper-style wheels wrapped in Pirelli Scorpion tires. Bright paint, crisp trim, and clean glass highlight the truck's low-mile condition, while its lowered stance signals the intent of a street-bred performance machine. Under the hood sits the hand-built 8.3-liter V10, rated at 500 horsepower and 525 lb-ft of torque. The engine's power flows through a Tremec T-56 6-speed manual transmission and a 4.10-geared limited-slip differential. This drivetrain combination made the regular cab the lightest and most visceral version of the SRT-10, capable of 0-60 mph in about five seconds and quarter-mile times in the low 13s. Suspension upgrades included Bilstein dampers, performance springs, and a fifth rear shock designed to control wheel hop, while four-wheel disc brakes with big calipers provided serious stopping power. Inside, the Ram SRT-10 was trimmed to remind drivers that this was no ordinary truck. Suede and leather sport seats embroidered with SRT-10 logos hold occupants firmly in place. Satin silver gauges with Viper-style graphics, a short-throw Hurst shifter topped with a Viper knob, and aluminum pedals create a driver-focused environment. The red starter button, shared with the Viper, adds to the sense of occasion. With mileage just past 10k, the interior remains exceptionally fresh, with clean surfaces and upholstery that reflect careful ownership. For enthusiasts, the Ram SRT-10 represents the most outrageous factory muscle truck of its era. For collectors, a low-mile Flame Red regular cab is one of the most desirable combinations produced and roughly only 1,500 produced. This 2004 Dodge Ram SRT-10 captures the essence of both, offering an opportunity to own a Viper-powered pickup that wrote its own chapter in performance history. Produced for only three years in limited numbers, the Ram SRT-10 has become a modern collectible.
