The body of the full-size pickup is visually refined by STARTECH with highly polished stainless-steel parts. The front of the vehicle becomes more striking through two front tube guards, which emphasize the contour of the front bumper.

The sides are refined with STARTECH sill guards, which feature integrated entrance lights. The lights illuminate the ground next to the vehicle and are activated by pulling on the door handles or by pushing a button on the keyless-sentry remote.

The rear becomes visually more appealing with the addition of highly polished STARTECH stainless-steel quarter bumpers and the STARTECH sport exhaust system with one slanted oval-shaped chrome exhaust tip on each side. The fully stainless-steel STARTECH exhaust system has more than just a visual effect. The sport exhaust optimizes power output and produces a more powerful engine sound.

It uses acoustic signals to inform the driver of the distance to any seen or unseen obstacles.

The STARTECH tire/wheel combination for the Dodge RAM 1500 pickup is as innovative as it is visually appealing and beneficial to driving dynamics. The wheelhouses offer plenty of room for a genuinely king-size wheel: The forged and chrome-plated 10Jx24 light-alloy wheels in sporty Monostar VI design are fitted with Pirelli tires in size 295/40 R 24.
