I know it looks different but that is one beautiful truck. I love the body lines and the interior looks better than my Durango Limited. I wasthinking of trading my '01 but now I might wait and see...

The interior is still available with a front bench seat.

And Allpar has had pictures of the new Ram up for months. Here's a shot or four:

I like the new look. I still don't think it can compete with the 2nd gen ram. The 2nd gen ram set the pace for all trucks.

I have read that the new 2009s will be the most aerodynamic ones ever made. Whether they are blowing smoke at us or not, I do not know, but thats what they claim.

Guys,

You all do realize there's a 4th gen subforum up and running here, and that all this and more has been posted, right?

Some of y'all need to get out more.

Yeah, but it is easier to sit here and take pot shots at the 'ugly' new truck with the factory smell, better mpg, nice paint, etc. while we jump in our 13 year old trucks. I bet they don't even complain about how hard it is to reach the distributor cap...I bet they don't even HAVE a distributor cap, probably those 'pack' things. I feel sorry for them.

Oh yeah, it only cost me 1900 to drive my truck for a year last year. They also have those CAR PAYMENTS!!!

I have to say; I'm pissed. All of the money I have spent on all of these mods.....
Then they go and build one with all of them. I especially appreciate what they did with the wheel wells. You don't compensate for a lacking suspension by cutting out two thirds of the fenders. That is the one thing that has always bugged me about the 2nd gen and 3rd for that matter (3rd's are all f'ed up with big fender wells AND the ugly *** nose). I will be looking at buying one of these next fall if; 1) they didn't de-tune them (tq management), and, 2) the shift points are set correctly for the Hemi. The comm bus necessary to facilitate the systems that they are talking about would almost have to be rs485 and therefore CAN. Someone who bought one of these may be stuck with the stock programmingfor a while. If they come out with a R/T 5.7 with vct and a tunable intake... I have to say... I'm in.
