Dodge announced today that the all-new 2009 Ram pickup will start at $22,170 for regular cab models, $26,225 for Quad Cab models and $32,530 for Ram Crew 1500 models. Those figures, which include $900 destination, reflect little-to-no increase over 2008 suggested retail prices despite additional equipment.

The new Ram comes at a time when some dealers taking a loss on 2008s just to clear inventory space for 2009s. Still, Dodge says that the new features and added equipment on the 2009 should give it a clear advantage over the 2008. Many exclusive features, like a coil-spring rear suspension, RamBox storage in the bed rails and a luxurious interior on higher-feature models, should set it apart from its competition. Newly standard equipment includes curtain side airbags and four-wheel antilock disc brakes.

Dodge’s new Hemi engine, which puts out 390 horsepower and 407 lb-ft. of torque. Dodge says the 4×2 R/T regular cab will accelerate to 60 miles per hour in under six seconds.
