When the 2009 Dodge Ram comes to dealers showrooms in about two months’ time, Chrysler will not be offering 0 percent financing for 72 months as previously reported. The Ram should launch just after Ford ’s redesigned 2009 F-series truck, one of its main competitors.
Automotive News originally reported that the 2009 model would be available with 0 percent financing, but Chrysler has since clarified that the offer only stands for the 2008 model.
The new truck will offer an even more powerful Hemi engine than the current one, rated at 380 horsepower and 404 lb-ft of torque, making it just shy of tying the segment’s power leader, the Toyota Tundra ’s V8, and trumping all in terms of peak torque. Unofficial reports have the truck’s power pegged at 390hp along with 407 lb-ft, although we’ll have to wait and see for the final outcome.
