Newbie, first post, glad to find this resource.

Any information on the 2015 Ram? Searching the internet doesn't really provide much info. Anything changing drastically? Pricing? Does Ram always wait later in the summer/fall to bring out next models as I see 2015 competitors already out.

I always look up the next year truck. I own a Ram, but, the tug of war the truck market presents makes for fantastic bathroom reading. Unfortunately, truck companies do wait to release information on the next model year until the last minute. It is so the truck, that is on its way out, doesn't take to big of a hit in sales. For example, the f150 is the best selling pick up, however, sales have been down this year. Why buy a 2014 f150 when the 2015 f150 "atlas" designs cues and Aluminum components?

I personal feel Ram has dropped the royal flush for the last two years. Ram can't do it forever, hence the "tug of war." I do not foresee any major changes if any really at all. But, we shall see when I am on the crapper.

I've heard no major changes until 2017. Just the small ones they usually do every couple years for now!

While the next years do usually come out in the fall, the big 3 don't like releasing "new designs" at the same time.

Dodge updated in 09, Chevy in 14, and Ford will be 2015 (although all were for sale early, just quoting model year label)

2017 would be 8 years of the same design. That would be close with Dodge's past line up of 2002-2008 6yrs and 1994-2001 *7yrs.

Also, the last gen Silverado ran form 2006-2013. 7yrs.

Ford does these shorter 5yr "generations". So they claim that 2009-2014 is different from 2004-2008. But it's actually just a refresh of the sheet metal and interiors. Not total change overs like GM and Dodge do. Ford tends to do that every 10 yrs.

Well they did get all new motors in 2011

I was talking to a Ram rep today at a big event and asked him about changes to the 2015's. He said there was just paint colour changes for this year. He did say though that in either 2016 or 2017 they're doing a major update. Going aluminum like the ford's are this year and one more bigger thing but I can't remember what he said! There will be more but these are the two he told me.

No changes except for new colors, and some crazy color options might I add. Omaha orange reg cab seems mighty tempting :D

I could but I'm 4 hours from the US border! Plus there's a 10% exchange on the currency conversion. More if you use a credit card! Definitely buying my wheels and tires in the US though. It'll be much cheaper!

Dealers in the US are not allowed to even sell cross boarder, or should I say to a "Canadian address" customer. The vehicle has to be "used" so to speak. There are ways around it. My Dad's friend bought 2 full jam 2500 Chevy trucks across the boarder a few years ago, the dealer had to 'drive them for a bit' so they could sell them as used. Or it was something along those lines.
But no, no brand new vehicles from US for Canadians. You could if you had a US address you resided in, then bring it up to Canada... but there would be rules you would want to know about that route as well.

From what I have read 2017 is to be the year for a MAJOR redesign. For this year I think the big addition will be changes to the tailgate that is hinged at the sides as well as at the bottom and also has a center seam allowing different combinations of opening the gate.

I am planning on purchasing a 2015 Ram 1500 and I have a question about mileage with the Hemi 5.7. I am considering a Ram Big Horn regular cab with the 8 speed automatic tranny, 4x4, and 3.21 gears in the rear axle. According to the Ram website and by their admission the regular cab is 700 lbs. lighter than the quad cab and even more so when compared to the crew cab. Yet all are listed at 15/19 in terms of city/highway mileage. Ford is going on about how the new 2015 F150 with the aluminum body is 700 lbs lighter than the 2014 model. They are forecasting higher mileage figures due to the lighter weight vehicle. Wouldn't the same hold true for the regular cab Ram? At 700 lbs. lighter than the bigger cab versions the mileage from a regular cab with the Hemi 5.7 should be substantially improved. What am I missing?

xrsman,

i noticed you had the red well lighting as a modification for your ram. do you know of any sites that sell the parts for that? I just got my ram about a month ago and i'm looking for some upgrade ideas. pictures of the red lighting look awesome.
