I noticed that on Ford and GM's new pickups they have inverted Ram's new Longhorn stamping on their tailgates. I am including some pics showing this. This can't be just coincidental. Ford & GM are no doubt not too happy about how Ram has rapidly encroached upon their sales and are making a non verbal statement to the affect. Look closely at the pics and you will see the upside-down longhorn on the Ford and GMC.

Actually I think the step bumpers on the Chevy are the best thing about the truck...
I love the foot holes in the bumper too. I think that should be on all trucks... But chevys best feature on the new trucks are the fake exhaust holes in the bumper that double as lifting points for the fork lift at the junkyard. Lol

I wish I could have been a fly on the wall in Ford's and GM's Boardrooms when they were discussing what to do about Ram outselling their trucks.

I know they passed GM for awhile, but did RAM ever actually outsell the Ford's?

The RAM one is the only one smiling....
I will smile again once they issue a recall of my '19 Laramie 3500 to swap out the infamous Bosch CP4.2 fuel pump for the tried and true CP3.

How, they are the ugliest trucks I've ever seen.

Too true. Those GMCs are butt ugly. I like the new body style of Ram's far, far better. More consideration, thought, and most of all, artistic skill went into it. It is a thing pf beauty.

They're (objectively) not ugly, otherwise people wouldn't be buying them. They are far more rugged and tough looking than the new Ram is, though I don't mind the 5th gen styling either.

The Ram and GM's have swapped; it used to be that the Chevy was executive and the Ram was tough/rugged, now it's the other way. Lots of "classy lines" on the Ram, where the Chevy/GMC looks rugged and off roady, especially in AT4/Trailboss trims.

Guess we all see what we want to see, but calling the GM twins ugly ... well, have you seen an optometrist lately? ;)

Opinions are like a$$holes...:emotions34:

The 19+ silverado/sierra are without a doubt the ugliest vehicles to hit the raod since the pontiac aztek... Also included for notable ugly mention;

Chevy Lumina/Pontiac Transport minivans
Oldsmobile Aurora
Buick rendevous

All GM products...coincidence? :shrug:

But then again i'm just an idiot on the internet :hahano::popcorn:

Since the GM twins are vastly outselling the Ram, with a higher price and an objectively worse interior (which nobody denies), you have a choice: either they're not as ugly as you want them to be, or the Rams are so horrid in one way or another that an all around ugly truck still manages to outsell it.

I think we know the answer here, but brand loyalty doesn't let some see the truth.

My point was opinions are not facts.

I guess you didn't catch my sarcasm....I was simply making a point that we all have our own opinions...Whether a truck is ugly or not is all a matter of personal preference. I think its ugly, but I understand that many people like the way they look :)
