Default 2010 Dodge Ram

Does anyone have any pics or know of any pics that show what the new 2010 rams look like.

Im also looking for some specs on the truck. I love the 2009s but im not sure about the rear coil spring suspension. And i want to know what the options for them will be like will the Quad cab long box be available in 1500 or only 2500 and will it still have coil spring rear end.

I would like to get a 4 door or a Quad cad Long box but you cant get them in the 2009s

I would like a more heavy duty truck, The 2009 have the worst towing of all companies so i was looking for something that is well more of a truck.

The last time I spoke with a salesperson abought the 09 Ram, he told me they parked a 08 leaf spring Ram and a 09 coil spring Ram. Measured the ride height empty of booth trucks, than added 750 Lbs.

THe leaf spring truck had the higher ride height empty and the lower ride height by 2 inch compared to the coil spring Ram.

Sales and real life don't = out.

I'm a 2500 owner, no way I'm going buy a 1500, the new Ram is a blast to drive, its quick, handels on a dime and is one hell of a nice car with a box.

For the average person, the Ram is ok.

Any real truck stuff is best suited for a 2500, But a half ton is still rated for a half ton.

I was thinking the same thing about the new 2009 being like a car with a box. and if they had a mega cab it would be exactly like a mini van with a box. They should have had a sliding rear doors on the meg cab

I do drive a 1500 but am looking to upgrade to a 2500. The 2009 dont have a 2500 with the new body style. So im looking to wait until the 3rd quarter of this year to get a new truck, which is when i heard they are coming out. This way i can get what i want all around.

But i still would like to see what they have before i do decide. If the 2010 dont seem to be great then maybe i will stay with the 1500 and buy now.

WOW them trucks look bas ash.

Now i must wait.

I like how there is a nice center console in the middle with the steering wheel mounted shifter. I never really liked the shifter in the center console in the new 09s.

Now i wonder when they will be available. besides Fall of 09

Yep they are beautiful... So i decided to lift my 99 now and drive that as my daily driver until i can get a 2010.. Will probably wait a year or so after they come out so they can find some of the bugs and stuff in the system...
