Trucks of Death Race: Dodge Ram 1500

At least one of you commenters was curious about the Death Race Dodge Ram, so here’s the goods on it. It’s a 2004 1500 and will be driven by the character Machine Gun Joe (2 Fast 2 Furious veteran Tyrese Gibson). While the 5.7L hemi and 5-speed automatic are stock, the drivetrain has endured some pretty drastic mods: the truck was converted back to 2wd, a 1-ton dually rear axle was swapped in, and it’s running 16-inch dually wheels in the rear and 20’s up front. The suspension’s also had some tweaking, including Rancho 9000 shocks and Firestone airbags all around. This is a truck that’s bound to deliver some thrills when the movie hits the theaters in August.
