Today Went To The Chicago Autoshow for My First In Person Look of The New 09' Dodge Ram... I Have My Opinions.



SolidAxle 9.25" Rear? Low Hangin' Sway Bar



Rear End Cut Out - 4 Link Rear, W/ Coils



Side Bed Rail Storage - Made The Bed Feel Small, Great Concept!



Front End Cut Away - IFS Coil Overs



Engine Cut Away - 5.7L Hemi, LOTS of Plastic.



Interior Looks Great - Kinda Reminded Me of The Titan.. Dual Glove Boxes. Center Console Storage + Flip Up Center



Console Cut Out



Rear Seat Sub..



Floor Cooler - Yup, It's A Cooler. Was Hoping It Had A Drain Plug but It Looks to Just Pull Out to Fill/Drain.



Looks Like The Headroom Increased



This Was The Actual Driving Model.. Still on Display Only..







Sorry I Had to



Interior Shot - Looks Good, Couldn't Touch.


IMHO: The Rear 4 Link Coil Suspension Set Me Back. Reminded me of The Grand Cherokee Rear. Not Sure How It Will Hold Up Towning...[sm=confused06.gif]


That's All - Noting Was "Touchable".

Grabbed My Camera, Then Realized I Left The SD Card At My Shop [:@]Had to Use Internal Memory

 

Thanks for all the pics!

I have to say... This model is really growing on me!

 

Very nice! I cannot imagine how nice the truck models will be come 2012 when I finally get this truck paid off and am in the market for a newer one, lol.

 

I'll Agree, I Want One Now. Although Im Not "That Guy" - Who Has To be The First to Have One. With The New Rear Drivetrain, Plus A Couple of Brand New Features.. I'll Let Them Work Out The Twirks the First Production Year..

You'll See Me With One of These End of The Year 2010.. It's Not That Far Away.

 

I'll be test driving one of these just for sh*ts and giggles, however I'll be waiting until at least the '10 model before I make a purchase. I am that guy that likes new models to prove themselves first...

 

Nice pics man. I can't wait to see what they do with the 2500/3500 I might be in the market for one of those in a few years. I like the new front end.Looks mean.

 

i need to see one of these pups lifted with a set of nice tires and wheels, once i see that and it looks good, i may hold off for a little bit and save for that, otherwise, im gettin me a 07 or 08 the end of this year

 

ok maybe its just me, but the new rams look hideous. i think they're ugly. maybe i need to see the right one, but so far... ugh.

 

The Very First Pic I Saw Was The Blue One In The Desert. I Love It!

Seing It In Person Makes The Transition Less Overwhelming.. It Really Grew On Me

 

I will not be in the market for a new truck until there isn't replacement parts for mine anymore.
