trust me if you have 3.55's just put it in manual second gear and floor it it will do over 90mph, its not good for it and i'd be ready to shift but they do it. I thought it was a high estimate too but i look at youtube speed runs with trucks just like mine and they shift out of second at about 90 as well. I just got rid of 2010 silverado 6.2 and that only did 58mph in second and wound out alot faster and was alot faster truck than my new Hemi express :-/ but i am hoping with some gears i can make it run better!! and if someone would figure out these d@mn pcm's so we can get a programmer already, im sure that will help too!!

Did the 90 in 2nd gear thing and mine got to about 95 before I let off. Think I might have been able to get to 100. I'm gonna see what happens to my track times when I force it to stay in 2nd instead of it shifting into like 3rd or 4th since I trap low 90s

Gears are the only reason the Ram can feel like a dog the engine is strong and powerful. 3.55 gears should be thrown in river forever.

This actually makes me really glad I got the 2012 instead of waiting. The only thing that really stood out as better to me was the new head unit and gauge cluster. Other than that I just think it's turning too much into something that isn't rugged. Still a nice truck though that's just my opinion.

Well guys, I've been gone for a few months now. But I think this may be the truck that brings me back. Especially if they bring out a diesel option.

Amazing pictures! I'm liking the new Ram. Love love love that Copperhead Pearl color! I really like the interior too... looks very classy? Can't think of the right word haha. Overall, I think Dodge is doing a great job in improving the looks and performance of their trucks. They've really stepped up their game lately in my opinion. I can't wait to own one of these trucks someday, but for now my 2008 will have to do.

Thanks for sharing those pictures!

I hate the projector lights. But at the same time i love how quads are standard now. Wish i had the money for quads myself.
