Hmmm....they make it sound like you trade power for price, makes the dodge sound like an underpowered economy truck, the author must not have towed with an I6

OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!! it's a ford...

or very close to it, has that droopy eyelid styling in the front end, and that bumper makes it look like it's been sucking on a lemon.

Other than that. hey, its another dodge. good show, now lets see chrysler stay in business

I have to say I like the look better on the HD rather than the 1500. Im still not quite sure about the front end...but it could grow on me.

I think i'll stick with my 04.5 for another 400K miles and see what's available then.

That's hilarious. I hated the look of my 06 (headlights) when they came out but I like it now. Maybe this one will grow on me.

I don't like it, and I am not sure it will grow on me. Dodge really changed the look of all trucks when they came out with the 2nd Gen. It looks too much like a Ford.

Well the G.M. has a 6.2 gas that's rated at higher h.p. and torque then the Hemi.They used the 6.0 for a comparison.The 6.0 is not their top gas engine.Ford also showed theirs to have the new 6 speed auto.Mentioned a lower 1st gear etc.I shopped all three somewhat a few weeks back.

I was hoping for a look closer to the 1500's, which I like a lot (my neighbor has one).... Maybe I will like it better in person. I guess I will wait and see what the new Ford Scorpion diesel (I like the HD Ford look) is all about before I finally make a decision on a new truck.

Yep, looks like they are trying to get some Ford folks.
I like it.

I dunno why they won't let you order it with the 1500 front clip, should fit no ? and yes, first glance, fordish front end, chevy back end, but wait, not a chevy, there's ground clearance under there !

"The light-duty and heavy-duty Rams are significantly separated visually for performance and aesthetic reasons, and for better cooling ,” said Ralph Gilles, Chrysler’s vice president of design. "The cooling we’ve gained for the heavy-duty we didn’t have to do for the light-duty, which is why the grille is smaller on the light duty.”

....that`s why


The nose does look like a Ford....hopefully it`ll look better in person.

A real crew cab with long bed, plus the interior refinements of the new style 1500's... I'd say it's about time.

I really wasn't sure about the looks of the 3rd gens when they came out in 03, but given time I thought they were really nice looking.

I'm not thrilled about the new look, but the 1500's look better in person, and I think it might need a little time to grow on you.

Man thats ugly. I'm glad I got my 07. I'll have it for a long time. But I agree with what yall are saying, when the 3rd gens came out I didn't like them either, but they definitely grew on me and I love em now. Maybe this one will do the same, but I dono. I think the front end is just ugly. They dually doesn't look bad though
