SLT Quad Cab with the legendary HEMI(R) engine plus two tickets to
the NCAA championship basketball game.

Details: To tip off National Truck Month with "No Charge HEMI" promotion
in March and celebrate college basketball's biggest tournament,
Dodge is challenging consumers to prove that they are just as
long lasting and tough on a basketball court as the Dodge Ram is
on the road. But you don't have to win a dribbling contest to
get a HEMI engine. As part of the "No Charge HEMI" promotion,
anyone buying a Dodge Ram 1500 or Dodge Durango during March
gets a HEMI upgrade at no charge.
Other: Dribble details:
* The tip off -- About 80 contestants will command the court on a
regulation size basketball court and begin dribbling their
HEMI(R)-branded basketballs at the referee's whistle
* Catch the live action -- The challenge will intensify as each
contestant "drops the ball" and is eliminated from game play
* Rewarded with a Ram -- The grand prize winner who outlasts the
other contestants will win an all-new 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 and two
tickets to the 2007 NCAA championship basketball game
