1998 Dodge Big Red Truck Concept

Power to haul.

The heart and soul of The Big Red Truck is the new Cummins 24—Valve Turbo Diesel engine. Now offered as an option on production Dodge Ram 2500 HD and 3500 pickups, this engine has a new electronic fllCl system which helps provide cleaner, quieter operation. The new 5.9L inline six-cylinder Cummins kicks out 460 lb-ft of torque at a low 1,400 rpm and maintains it all the way up to 2,700 rpm with its standard five-speed manual transmission. And with 235 horsepower at 2,700 rpm. The Big Red Truck really hauls.

With long distance comfort.

The Big Red Truck’s interior has been made more spacious by increasing the cab length eight inches over the standard Ram Quad Cab. The aero roof has been raised 10 inches to provide increased head room and storage over the Mist Gray leather front and rear bucket seats. The center console has been removed from the front seat to provide pass-through rear access. Other features: a swing-down, six-inch flat-screen LCD color television set, videocassette player with remote, rear audio controls with headphones, and five strategically placed cup holders.
