Today's car of the day is Hot Wheels' 2007 Dodge Ram 1500.

The Dodge Ram is a full-size pickup truck from Chrysler LLC's Dodge brand. The name was first used in 1981 on the redesigned Ram and Power Ram, though it came from the hood ornament used on 1930s and '40s Dodge vehicles.

Dodge Ram trucks have been named Motor Trend magazine's Truck of the Year twice: the second-generation Ram won the award in 1994, and the third-generation Ram Heavy Duty won the award in 2003. The truck is in its fourth generation as of the 2009 model year.

The Ram is built at Saltillo Truck Assembly in Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico; Saint Louis Assembly North in Fenton, Missouri, United States; and Warren Truck Assembly in Warren, Michigan, United States.

A nice model from Hot Wheels, this one features tasteful paint, an opening bed cover (reveals some chromed speakers), and a nice lift. This one is definitely ready for a mud bog competition, rock climb, or maybe even a backyard car crush.

The 2006 Dodge Ram is an updated version of the previous generation. One notable addition is the Mega Cab, featuring a 6-foot (2 m) cargo box and 20 inches (510 mm) of extra cab space, allowing seating for six with rear recliners. Also, a full screen mapping in-dash navigation system is now an option. The headlamps have been redesigned for better performance.

Another change for the 2006 model year was the replacement of the first version 5.7 L (345 cu in) Hemi V8 in half-ton models with the newer Multi-Displacement System Hemi V8 engine that is available in Chrysler and Dodge sedans. This engine features the same performance but has a cylinder-deactivating feature enabled under light loads to increase fuel economy by 3 MPG city and 4 MPG hwy. This new Hemi still delivers 345 hp (257 kW) and 375 lb·ft (508 N·m).

In 2007, a new 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel was introduced as an option in 2500/3500 models in addition to the 5.9L. It produces 350 hp (260 kW)||650 lb·ft (881 N·m). Unlike the 5.9L which was backed by the 4-speed 48RE Transmission, the 6.7L is equipped with the new 6-speed 68RFE transmission.

Bring her down to ground and I may be interested. Not really interested in trucks I need a step ladder to get into.

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
There's been a few versions of this one, and I'd swap out that blue glass (TOO blue) with something else.
JAMES, I'm sure a more down on the ground version will come, as that way HW will get better utilization of the tool.
SAK, it's not my cup of tea for a real truck to own, but it beats being seen in a Volvo or Renault, at least west of the rockies.
