Ram totally missed the mark with the ridiculously large chrome Ram lettering. Are they planning to sell these trucks to 4yr old kids learning to read????
The cross hair grill was their recognizable styling that needed no explanation much like the MB star.
The fact that they felt they had to spell out the brand as big as they can on the front and back totally blows the luxury image. Its something a kid would do. Some styling moron at Ram thinks a pig nose is a good styling design look for a truck named Ram???? So now we have a "Pig nose Ram"??

Like mentioned above, I am glad I just purchased my truck in its current and more classy form. This new one looks great on the inside but low class on the outside styling and looks like it has a pig nose. I'm disappointed as hell in the direction ram is going..

I agree, I do not like the new look one bit. Need to go back to the Ram Head.

Bang for buck and Styling to me are where the RAM always lead the pack..
Count me out on that new styling, why do we need a 4 FOOT wide RAM symbol on the back of the truck its like a kids toy..
Makes it look cheap not premium at all

i could ALMOST get passed the new grill on the limited and the rebel... But that giant gaudy RAM on the tailgate is ridiculous. Whose Idea was that and what were they trying to accomplish?

Each dealer was alloted one and only one 2015 Ram Rebel. Because of this the official turn around time is actually a NEGATIVE number due to the fact most sold BEFORE arriving at the dealer. By comparison, an Ecodiesel only sits on a dealer lot 13 days, while the average gas powered Ram sits 78 days...

The cross-hair grille has been an iconic symbol for the RAM for quite some time, I wonder who made the decision to abandon that styling point. It's all about marketing to the younger generation now, and for some reason this is appealing to that crowd.

Not a fan of where this new generation of RAM's is going, so I hate to say this one may be my last.

I read an article when the new 2015 "concept" first came out and FCA was quoted saying that Laramie-trim owners wanted to make sure that everyone knew they drove a "high-end" trim hence one of the reasons for the large lettering on the tailgate.

I haven't heard of one person who actually likes the large chrome lettering so I'm curious where exactly their "research" came from...

I think research and development tallied positive feedback from the Ford Raptor community.
