Ohhh, I love the new interior center stack, air suspension, new and improved headlights, optonal LCD, remote lockable RamBox and the 8 speed transmission....., BUT why the h3ll did Dodge mess-up the grill and put those pointless ope/close clads behind it???
The front bumper and the stupid **** shifter ????

Oh...one more thing -- Who cares for a 6 cylinder truck if it is not turbo charged???

lets see like the 8spd,the interior,air suspension,led lights,remote lockable ramboxes overall the whole truck.still think 09-12 look better.dislike no shifter and the dial selector,not sure on the eletric power steering or the engine shutoff when stopped and restarting when the gas is applied.and why still no electronic lock differential

Would very much like to get the HID headlights but I know Dodge will charge a crapload for them so it won't be worth doing. Besides, it will probably be incompatible due to the damn CANBUS or whatever the computer control is called.

Interior changes look pretty decent, but I think the shift **** idea is corny. If they're going to go that route just put an up/down rocker on the steering wheel or something.

What's the chance the new version of 'MyGIG' actually has a halfway decent user interface?? Something where you could, say, delete an MP3 in one or two clicks instead of 3 minutes of navigating around and remembering what album you were in?

they used less metal so now when you drive the hood makes a wave motion lol and now all you have to do is stare at it to hard and it'll dent...hopefully it's better than the 09-12's where you can see the hood shaking and flexing when going over 60mph.

Yeah they shaved 1.8% off the weight stunning! If they included some weight watchers meals they might double that.

Yeah RAM, really....??? - forget about that fuel economy CRAP!!! This is a full size truck that has 400 HP (with the hemi)...

Dodge --> Please take back the closing vents behind the front grill
Dodge --> Please take back the start / stop foolishness
Dodge --> Take back the electric steering nonsense
=====================================
Dodge --> GIVE ME 4.10 rear end ratio
Dodge --> Give me good quick acceleration
Dodge --> Give me good and precise steering
Dodge --> WHERE is the supercharged SRT RAM???

I like it. I like it more than any other since the 2nd gen. To me it looks somewhat more like the 2nd gen in the front clip.

I don't like the shift **** either. Wonder how long it will be before someone accidentlly turns the **** when trying to adjust the fan. It will probably last as long as the old push button shifters. I hope they done something to get better gas mileage while pulling a trailer.
