2010 HD Ram @ OKC Auto Show
I was able to get right up to the new Ram 3500HD Quad(crew) cab dually at the car show today. Unfortunately it was locked and the windows were all up. I snapped a few pics of what I could see of the interior.
I couldn't see a whole lot. I like the new gauges, still no boost/egt that I could see. The bedsides are now 1 piece on the dually, the towing mirrors have been changed. They still do the flip up, but the convex corner mirror has been replaced. The tow/haul button is on the dash, couldn't see what was on the end of the shifter now. The up/down shift switch has been changed a little but still in about the location. It looks like there is a 115volt ac outlet on the pass. side of the dash, similar to the '09 1500's. The show truck had the cruise controls all on a little stalk, on the lower right side of the wheel, same setup as the chargers have. I don't know if it's because this is the Laramie with extra radio controls or if this is how all of the new ones are going to be done. I personally like the cruise buttons on the wheel like my '08. I've heard there will be an integrated trailer brake controller available, but I couldn't see where it was on this one.
All in all, I really like the new HD from what I could see of it today. I wish I could have seen under the hood. Hopefully, after all of our beta testing, they will have the emmissions junk figured out by the time these start hitting the streets.
