What is the Ram DC650?
The DC650 is a street-focused Ram 1500 collaboration between Fox Factory Vehicles and Direct Connection. Fox Factory’s product page describes a Whipple-supercharged 5.7L HEMI V8; MotorTrend also identifies a 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger. Fox Factory rates the engine at 650 hp and 600 lb-ft.

Fox Factory describes the DC650 as part of Ram’s street-truck lineage, alongside the 2009–2012 Ram R/T and 2004–2006 Ram SRT-10. The historical horsepower figures in that comparison are Fox Factory’s account.

What to know before buying
- Confirm the exact build. Ask the seller to confirm drivetrain, suspension configuration, and options on the truck being quoted.
- Verify current pricing. The listed configuration prices may change, and the product page’s rendered total is inconsistent with its line items.
- Check fitment before shopping for parts. The Whipple supercharger and Ridetech components are documented on this particular build; the sources do not establish universal fitment or standalone availability for other Ram 5.7L applications.
- Ask about warranty and support. The research identifies the collaboration and components but does not establish specific warranty coverage or terms.
