Ram brand announces new Mossy Oak 1500, more Power Wagon trimlines
by Patrick Rall

Chrysler's Ram Truck brand recently announced that the 2012 Ram lineup will get a few additions in the form of a new branded partnership with Mossy Oak along with two new trimlines for the mighty Ram 2500 Power Wagon.  Chrysler expects that the new limited edition Mossy Oak package will help to attract more enthusiasts who are into hunting and fishing (a main target market for the Ram brand) while the new Power Wagon trimlines will make the most capable heavy duty truck on the market more enticing to a broader audience.

A couple of years back, I covered a few rounds of the American Le Mans Series, and while I was a fan before that experience, I'm an even bigger fan now. So I was really interested in this video Michelin put together about the DeltaWing LMP1 prototype. The car has half the power of a current Le Mans racer, but since it's half the weight, it should still be able to lay down some pretty quick laps, and stop for tires and fuel far less frequently.

The styling is far from traditional--check out how close together the front wheels are!--but if you want to take things to the next level, you have to think outside the box. When I first saw this baby, the first thing I thought about were the Colonial Vipers from Battlestar Galactica. Now, I don't know about you, but in my opinion, if you design a fast race car, and it happens to look like a wicked-cool spaceship, you're doing something right.

We'll get to see it on the track at the 2012 24 Hours of Le Mans. But for now, check out the video to find out more about the DeltaWing, and to learn why vehicles like it are critical factors in the development of safer, more efficient street cars.

We all know the 2011 Ram 2500 Power Wagon is one bad mama jamma. Apparently, Four Wheeler magazine knows it too (though they're probably embarrassed to use that phrase). In a move that expresses serious industry clout, Four Wheeler magazine has named the 2011 Ram 2500 Power Wagon their "Pickup Truck of the Year".

With the recent news that Toyota is going to be raising the price on the Tundra by 3%, we got to thinking: why the heck would anyone want to pay good money for a Tundra when they can put that coin towards a Ram instead? Well, we couldn't think of any good reasons. But we did come up with five good reasons why the Ram is better than the Tundra!
