Does anyone know when the 07 Model Rams are coming out? and will it be true that the new 2500/3500 diesels will have the 6.7L CTD from the start. ?

 

Early September they should be at dealers

 

The new 6.7L will start production in early January 2007.

 

Ordering is open on '07 models.
Not sure when they actually go into production.

The new 6.7 isn't released until Jan.

 

Electric Blue is the new color!!

 

What's new:
Tip start on all automatic gas engines. (no need to hold key until it starts)
Remote start as a factory option.
ESP, with "Hill Assist" standard on Laramie and optional on Lowline/Highline, includes ABS.
Stain resistant fabric. "YES" fabric.
6.7L Diesel available to order in Jan 2007 will have an option for a 6-speed automatic tranny.
SLT bezel is now silver instead of woodgrain.
Round tail lamps (like Dakota)

 

This i do not understand....

WHY is dodge coming out with a 6.7l CTD that produces LESS horsepower and EQUAL lbs.-ft. of torque, when we have a 5.9l CTD? The 5.9 is much more economical and more hp per liter. Can someone please explain to me why dodge is just tossing out the legendary 5.9l engine that has had people struck with amazement from the start with a bigger fatter engine that does nothing better? That's like asking me if i want a 4 cylinder with 300hp and 300 lb-ft of torque or a v8 with 285hp and 300 lb-ft of torque. I would be crazy to pick the v8.

Maybe people are telling me wrong... Dodge, I know, will make the 6.7l useful somehow. It has to have more torque in order for them to make it. I'm hoping everyone is wrong

It's not always about the Hp and TQ numbers the power band has alot to do with how a truck/car preforms.

 

I can't speak for st louis, but at warren tuck we start 07 models on July 5. But then we are down for the next 3-5 weeks afterward.

 

Warren wouldn't shut down after '07 production started... Warren will shut down at the end of this week and will be down for two weeks (July 3-14). The 17th to 24th will be model changeover days and Job1 for 2007 models is July 24th.

St. Louis shut down on June 16th and will start 07 production July 5th.
