Two weeks ago, I was considering a Ram R/T, but was unsure because of a lack of 4wd.
Did some further research, and found I can order a Ram Sport short cab/bed 4wd & 5.7 Hemi.
The only difference between the two is the 4wd adds 150lbs of weight, and a looser torque converter on the R/T.
The only criteria I can see for the 2wd in the R/T is gas mileage because if the lighter weight and performance. The R/T has a looser torque converter which will adversely affect the gas mileage, just about the same as the extra weight of the 4wd system with a tighter torque converter in the Ram Sport 4wd IMO.
Then we have performance. An extra 150lbs in a 4800lbs truck is not much when taken in context. Additionally, any performance gain you obtain from a dig with the 150lbs weight advantage is negated by the extra launching ability of a 4wd system compared to a 2wd, especially from a vehicle with a front weight bias.
So I ordered a Ram Sport short cab/bed 4wd with the 5.7 Hemi. The slight weight difference and torque converter did not give me any notable advantages IMO to give up the 4wd system.
