2010 Dodge Ram Heavy-Duty Regular Cab Shown at Work Truck Show

Last month, we got our first look at the new 2010 Dodge Ram heavy-duty 2500 and 3500 pickups that debuted at the Chicago auto show. Among the biggest changes was the introduction of a new Crew Cab model that replaces the smaller Quad Cab configuration. We also saw a continued commitment to the giant Mega Cab model, the largest four-door cab in the heavy-duty segment. The only version missing — though Chrysler said it was coming — was the regular cab Ram HD, which is making its first public appearance at the Work Truck Show.

The 2010 Dodge Ram 2500 regular cab three-quarter-ton truck pictured above is powered by the recently updated 5.7-liter Hemi V-8, rated at 383 horsepower and 400 pounds-feet of torque. It features the new aerodynamic styling first seen on the 2009 Ram 1500 light-duty pickup, but with a taller, more-prominent front end for improved cooling. It also has an 8-foot cargo box.
