NAIAS 08: 2009 Dodge Ram - Page 2

Ultimate1 · 01-11-2008, 09:24 PM

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is one awesome truck!! It is easily one of the best looking trucks on the market.

And 380HP!! nice.... I might jump from the Tundra Ship into the RAM if I can get that in Regular cab. Might have to photoshop one first before I make my decision though!

.

This baby is going to sell like hotcakes and prove to the other automakers that If you build it... they will come.

I agree

That interior is absolutely amazing.

Exterior looks pretty similar to the current Ram (which is still good-looking anyway). Overall, thumbs up, great job!

Agreed. Someone definitely woke up in product development. And I suppose everyone is doing stitched dashboards now?

You know its a sweet looking truck when it looks good even in two-tone

(I usually hate the look of 2 tone trucks)

I completely disaggree. I think it's a huge improvement over the current one. Much more stylish without loosing the aggressiveness. I really like the new look. I've seen it before on one of their concepts, but I forget which one. Most of them looked terribly ugly, but it looks great here.

I want to hate this truck, but I can't. Not on the outside, or inside, but it's still a Dodge and still the 3rd string truck.

That bed side storage is awesome!

Are Coca-Cola and MLB sponsors?

Looks like deploying the passenger side airbag requires replacement of the windshield with it being up so high. Lots of glovebox space between the two of them though.

To all who say this interior is a rehash of the F-150-

I'm glad they actually took time to see what the #1 selling full size truck in America is doing. If it helps Dodge stay ahead of Tundra then I'm all for it!

Did anyone else see what is missing?? The Mega cab is gone!

Mr. Burns · 01-11-2008, 09:48 PM

It looks pretty dated and the interior quality doesn't look great (though design is good).

meh.

E. Haskell · 01-11-2008, 09:52 PM

It looks good. I like that built in cooler.

Will this truck have a 6 speed auto?

Buick61 · 01-11-2008, 10:20 PM

Wait wait wait. The "side saddles" are called Ram Box??

How pornographic.

**BigAls87Z28** · 01-11-2008, 10:28 PM

Only you would think of that Aldo....

Anyway, not a bad looking truck, not bad at all. Good clean Chargeristic front end, the interior has a nice LOOK, but if its like anything else recently from Chrysler quality will be sub-par. Hope not. I do like the stictched leather simulation dash. The dual exhaust is a cool idea, a first. The side saddles are cool too. Interior looks like a F150 meets Titan.

chakis24 · 01-11-2008, 10:31 PM

looks good actually. the front reminds me of a sharks head. interesting. dual exhaust is cool, but its an option on the gmt900s already. its actually quite impressive. gm neesd to step it up. the hemi is more powerful than the vmax, and the 4.7 is real close to the 5.3- on .6 less liters. it still reminds me of a tundra, but i would take it over that. and that interior is a huge step up. gm needs an update already. i am iffy on that suspension though since it is new, id wait and see on that one. and theres nothing they can do about towing cap huh? 9100 is bad compared to all the others

Front end is nice .... Interior is okay ... but kinda blocky and bulky ..... and the rest overall looks pretty boring to me
