The truck for today is the ERTL '11 Ram 2500.

The Dodge Ram changed the truck world in 1994 when it showed that full-size pickups could be made to resemble something other than a cinder block. Like its half-ton brother, the heavy-duty 3/4-ton Dodge Ram 2500 boasted a muscular, rugged look that took heavy inspiration from big rigs -- specifically their "shouldered" fender design and prominent grille. This new look clearly resonated with America's truck-buying public, because Ram sales immediately doubled with the new model and would eventually double once again by 1999.
The most-recent-generation Ram had an even more muscular body and engine lineup, plus a versatile selection of cab styles. In addition to the regular cab, there was a four-door Crew Cab (replacing the long-running Quad Cab) and a Mega Cab that easily lived up to its prefix. Note that although the Dodge Ram technically ceased to be after the 2010 model year, it lives on as the founding member of Chrysler Group's new Ram brand: the Ram 2500.
The most-recent, fourth-generation Dodge Ram 2500 debuted for 2010. Compared to the previous Ram 2500, the most recent generation got revised styling, a more upscale interior, a retuned suspension and the new Crew Cab, which replaced the previous generation's Quad Cab body style.
This Dodge Ram 2500 heavy-duty pickup was available with two-wheel or four-wheel drive and came in a variety of body styles and trim configurations. A regular cab, Crew Cab (replacing the previous model's Quad Cab) and Mega Cab (really big crew cab) comprised the body styles. The Mega Cab was only available with the short bed, while the regular cab was only equipped with the long bed. The Crew Cab was offered with either.
Trim levels consisted of the basic ST, the volume-selling SLT and the luxurious Laramie. Higher trim levels offered standard and optional niceties like dual-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery, Bluetooth and a hard-drive-based navigation system. Off-road-ready packages include the TRX and the Quad-Cab-only Power Wagon.
Standard on all Ram 2500 trucks was a 5.7-liter V8 that made 383 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. This hefty power plant came with a five-speed automatic transmission. For enhanced towing capability, there was a 6.7-liter inline six-cylinder Cummins turbodiesel that produced 350 horses and 650 lb-ft of torque. It was paired with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic.

ERTL released this Ram in an ERTL set with a Case IH tractor. Previously ERTL had did the earlier generation Dodge Ram 2500 in several colors. Believe that Johnny Lightning's Tom Z designed this casting. Hightlights include true 1/64 scaling, accurate wheels and an opening hood.
