Some very talented photoshopers on another forum put these together to see what it might look like in other models.

All credit goes to the guys/gals that made these pics.

 

That is a pretty good job. The lifted and the sport edition look pretty good. Kind of partial to the sport.

 

Well looks like i might be keeping the 98' and buying a nice car instead of trading it in fora new 09 ram.

 

a bad assed angine does nothing if the body looks like crap.


dodge needs to get their act together, and start designing a truck body that LOOKS like a truck, not some crossdressing car.

 

Seriously. The reasons the 2nd gens took off was cause they look a mean little mack truck. Not a ****ing zion.

I'm furious man...

 

Ya, all the trucks designs in the last 13-14 years are all variations of what came out on the Ram in '94. It was ground breaking, and really aggressive looking, like nothing else on the market at the time. Everyone else has since copied that to some extent, but now we've gotten down to this style you see with this new design that could be mistaken for a Ford, or a Tundra, or a GMC, or any other, they all look basically the same again. Someone needs to again come out with something really groundbreaking.

Personally, I wish Dodge would have continued down this path that they teased us with back a few years ago at the 1999 Detroit auto show.:

they need too go back too manke 2 gen rams, and then im sure we would havre the leading truck agian !!!!

 

Mean little Kenworth. They were modeled off of Kenworths, not macks. [sm=smiley20.gif]


From the sounds of it, its going to have a solid rear axle, not an independent setup. A 5-link setup is what you see if the front of our rams, just imagine it without the steering linkage and you have what the rear will look like.

 

Seriously, this is what I heard was in the works the last time someone spoke of re-design...


Now that would have been alright...

 

I dunno, the front end is ok I guess. I would have preferred they stuck with a taller grill with a bigger separation between the fenders and the hood. The way they describe the grill as similar to the charger in that it leans inward toward the bottm could be interesting, can't really tell from the picture. I like the idea of integrated storage space, but think the boxes as they appear on that truck look out of place.

Overall, I'd consider buying one for the engine options alone, I'm interested to see the interior and see if its an improvement.
