Under the
hood is an enhanced High-Output Cummins I6 engine. The high-pressure,
common-rail, fuel-injected 5.9liter inline 6-cylinder engine is turbocharged
and intercooled. Cummins chrome plated all the engine parts and added
high-performance headers to more efficiently exit the hot gases. These
hot gases then exit the vehicle through massive Gibson Performance 4in.
diameter chrome-plated dual exhausts that run the length of the Ram 1-ton
and gives a great sounding bass exhaust note. This special engine shakes
the asphalt like an earthquake, right off the Richter Scale with an incredible
350hp at 2,900rpm and 650ft.lb. of torque at just 1,400rpm.
It's almost
inconceivable-at just a whisper above idle, the Cannonball can clean-break
over 11-tons of rolling weight, the highest towing capacity of any 1-ton
truck on the road.
The Cannonball's
design elements enhance its purpose and its size. This is a long-haul
truck; born to dominate the nation's highways, to scale the Rockies, consume
miles of desert and grasslands. Xenon Body Styling custom designed the
unique front fascia and fender flares with Street Scene Equipment supplying
the perforated aluminum top and bottom grilles that gives the Cannonball
Express a more racy, high-performance look.
Every aspect
of this 1-ton is accentuated, larger than life, as if in sheer acknowledgment
of the uniqueness and strength of this vehicle. Adding to its already
imposing dimensions, SpectraFlair Holographic Metalflake 'Cold Rolled
Steel' paint covers every inch of this brute's muscular body. The color
is a fluid silver/blue in appearance, and evokes the strength of cold
rolled steel. Further enhancing the fire-breathing persona of the Cannonball
Express are SpectraFlair ghost flames that run along the sides, further
re-enforcing the unique theme of this vehicle. Add huge 22X8in. 'Edge'
Oasis Alloy Wheels, and wrap them with massive 38in. tires, (LT315/60R22),
created exclusively for the Cannonball Express by Goodyear. What we have
here is a real 'Road Warrior'.
Add a White
Night Light System at the rear for nighttime lighting needs, a Wise Industries
bedliner, an electric folding tonneau cover by Wabasto, and you've got
a vehicle unlike any other, one that captures your attention, at rest
or at speed!
Handling
and control of the Cannonball Express has also been enhanced with a lowering
kit from Advantage Performance Center. A lower center of gravity riding
on 22in. tires/wheels gives the Cannonball Express a more sedan like responsive
and compliant ride. With standard 13.9in. power-assisted ABS steel disc
brakes clamped with 2-piston calipers at each wheel, there was no need
to upgrade the industry's best brakes.
When you
climb aboard the Cannonball Express you've found a new home to relax and
enjoy yourself as you spend effortless hours watching the sights of the
highway go by, and hear the rumble of the Cummins Turbo Diesel in your
pursuit of your latest adventure. The Ram's interior is wrapped in durable,
glove-soft Katzkin leather in all seats and the large folding center console.
The cabin is also accented with brushed stainless steel trim surrounding
the instrument panel, center stack and door switch plates. Thick Mopar
floor mats relax your feet and you can't miss the Dodge logo stainless
steel door entry guards as you enter and exit the cab. Johnson Window
Film is applied to the side and rear glass enabling the cabin to stay
cool on hot days with an extra measure of security from prying eyes.
For you're
your entertainment, listen to a Clarion AM-FM Sirius Satellite System
stereo that is always with you when you've ventured far off the beaten
path.
The Cannonball
Express was not created to just roam the confines of the city; this is
one vehicle that's just too big, too strong, and too powerful to continually
travel with conventional traffic. The Cannonball Express demands long,
winding stretches of country. Its only limitation is the courage of the
driver to experience the wide-open spaces, while living life in the fast
lane.
