2010 Dodge Mopar Ram Runner news, pictures, and information | ||
| Tweet | ||
This is a new kind of Ram. Inspired by Baja-style desert racing, this 4x4 is unlike any other in captivity. The rigors of off-road racing require large tires, plenty of ground clearance, extreme durability and a sophisticated suspension system capable of withstanding tremendous impact. These features are combined into a package that is stable at speed and rock-solid in the corners. To achieve this kind of handling, a low center of gravity and long wheel travel are paramount.
The Mopar Ram Runner has the look and feel of thoroughbred desert racer. Inspired by trophy trucks, steel front fenders and rear bed-sides are replaced wîth fiberglass, allowing tremendous suspension articulation wîth zero interference.
Vehicle information:
Prototype of full suspension that Mopar will offer later this year
35-inch x 12.5-inch x 17-inch DOT-approved General Grabber Competition tires
Three-inch diameter internal bypass Fox shocks provide front and rear motion control
6061 T6, billet aluminum upper A-arms contain rebuild-able, high-angle ball joints that permit a massive 14 inches of wheel travel
High-angle CV joints are combined wîth plunging, splined axles made of 300 M tool steel and 1.00-inch diameter high-angle tie rods
4130 chromed moly steel lower control arms
Variable-rate coils support bed loads while special control arms provide 14 inches of wheel travel
Custom tubular Baja bumper and aluminum skid plate combination that housed four high-powered, LED off-road lights
A six-point roll cage finalizes the package while a special tubular tire carrier keeps a spare handy in the bed while maximizing load spaceSource - Dodge
