Supercharged V8-Powered Ram 1500 Lowered Brings Back the Street Truck Vibe With 650 Horses

If you grew up thumbing through glossy pages filled with slammed pickups and smoky burnouts, the Ram 1500 Lowered will feel like a welcome throwback with a modern twist. Built through a collaboration between Fox Factory Vehicles and Direct Connection, Ram’s in-house performance arm, this is a pavement-first 1500 that trades trail dust for fresh asphalt and a serious bump in power.

Under the hood sits a supercharged 5.7 liter Hemi V8 that cranks out a claimed 650 horsepower and 600 pound feet of torque. The blower is a 3.0 liter unit that feeds the Hemi through an eight speed automatic, and the soundtrack gets turned up with a cat back dual exhaust capped by four inch tips. It is the kind of setup that lets your neighbors know you did not just check the appearance package box.

The stance is the giveaway. Fox supplies a lowered suspension that brings the body down over 22 inch wheels wrapped in meaty 305 section summer rubber. The look is purposeful and the hardware backs it up with real traction, including standard rear wheel drive with traction bars or an available four wheel drive setup for an extra $4,045. The visual treatment leans into the street truck theme with spoilers and available gold striping that feels cheeky in all the right ways.

What separates this from the typical tuner special is the factory backed approach. The Lowered Ram 1500 will be sold through select dealers, carries a three year or 36,000 mile warranty, and starts at $89,995. That is a serious number, but so is the capability. Proper truck stuff remains intact, with a max tow rating of 11,320 pounds and a 1,910 pound payload. You can still bring the toys, you will just get there looking and sounding a lot quicker.

Call it a modern street bruiser with manners. The Ram 1500 Lowered nails the stance, delivers the shove, and does it with dealer support and a warranty. If you have been waiting for a pavement focused pickup that remembers where the street scene came from, this one plants the flag and drops the frame.
