What makes a Ram R/T an R/T? - 11/07/18 05:23 PM

Dumb question, but I gotta know. There is a real clean 2013 one-owner swb, conventional cab on a lot near me.

So what is the difference between a Ram & a Ram R/T. Is it just badging and maybe interior upgrades? Different suspension? Any drive train differences?

Heard these swb R/T's are sort of hard to find.

Thanks,

Scott

My 2012 Ram R/T came with a 4:10. The full console is part of the package as well as most all the bells and whistles that you can get on a Ram. I even have adjustable pedals. I believe there are some differences in the front and rear bumpers and the grille. I enjoy the heck out of mine. Mine runs a high 14second 1/4 mile in stock trim weighing in at 5100lbs.

Sorry, guys. Forgot to say thanks for your replies.

Learned quite a bit about these trucks the last few days. Not a whole lot closer to buying the one near me even though they lowered the price $2K last week. Sure is a purty truck though.

The R/T's with the 65RFE trans had a high stall torque converter as well as 4.10's vs 3.92's and normal TC for non RT's. Once they went to the 8 spd the R/T's used the normal driveline. In good air they seem to be a low 14 truck

WO23, the paperwork sez it has the 4.10 gears. It also is a truck built for the Canada market that made its' way to the states. Supposedly one of 39 2013 Canada trucks. Woo hoo... boogie

Crazy thing is that if I do buy the truck, I'm putting it into the garage until spring. How much fun would that be. realcrazy
