The mechanicals are mostly familiar: a 5.7-liter V8 with mild hybrid capabilities, four-wheel-drive, an eight-speed automatic, an optional four-corner air suspension - but the truck also benefits from a few performance-minded add-ons: aluminum paddle shifters and a gear lever with a manual shift gate Mopar-sourced cold air intake and performance exhaust an aggressive hood that ostensibly helps the Hemi run cool performance gauges built into the infotainment screen to track 0-60 runs and the like and, of course, G/T badging inside and out.Īll that is to say, of course, that it drives just like other similarly-equipped Rams: with unexpected smoothness for a full-size pickup truck, both in ride and power delivery.

The G/T package - available on both Laramie and Rebel trims, only on crew cab short-bed versions - is, like many of these special editions, largely comprised of bits pulled from the corporate parts bin. Two of those bear the letters G/T at the end of their name.and one of those is the truck I recently spent a long weekend with. Sidle over to the brand's website and you'll find six special edition variants listed.but if you read closely, you'll realize that's actually more like eight, as some of them double up across the lineup. While it certainly could have simply coasted on its many class-leading qualities ( and, y'know, its 702-hp dinosaur themed halo truck) until the new electric Ram shows up to claim supremacy, Ram (the company) has been rolling out tasty treats to keep buyers looking at their showrooms and not those of Ford, Chevrolet, GMC or Toyota. Be it Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler or Ram, The Company Formerly Known as FCA is constantly zhuzhing up its cars, trucks and SUVs with bundles of colorways, features and badging that salute everything from first responders to the battle against AIDS to. Perhaps no carmaker does quite so exquisite a job finding fun new ways to keep their lineup fresh then Stellantis.
