With its bold styling, HEMI® power, superior ride and handling, safety features and long list of creature comforts, the 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 is many things to many people. And headlining the list of its finer points is a pair of innovative V-8 powerplants: an all-new 4.7-liter V-8 that produces more horsepower and torque with better fuel economy and refinement than the engine it replaces; and the V-8 that offers the first-ever fuel-saving Multi-displacement System (MDS) cylinder deactivation technology offered on a pickup truck.
