Great question! Introduced in 1997 and discontinued in 1998, the Dodge Ram SS/T only ever saw 6,278 units made. 3,711 were produced in 1997 and then only 2,567 in 1998.
This model was an extension of the limited edition Indy 500 Pace model introduced in 1996. The SS/T stands for “Super Sport Truck” and speaks to the model’s souped-up 5.9L V8 engine that added an additional 15 horsepower. The trucks also included special racing stripes to pay homage to the Viper.
Congratulations on having witnessed this now-rare vehicle in its heyday! Hope this answers your question.
