I'm curious as Trup mentioned, how's this new air suspension going to affect having a suspension lift?

I'm not super crazy about the center console, but I could live with it to have the 8.4" touchscreen. I'm interested to hear more about the 8 speed transmission from actual owners.

I don't get those tail lights...the LEDs is awesome, but the white/chrome surrounding it makes it look like a ford.

And then wait 10 years for a tuner...probably so.

I like the led heads and tails and the gauge cluster looks nice. I won't trade until the hemi gets ecoboost fuel mileage.

From the sounds of it, most of the models will come with the normal quad headlights. I would assume the projectors will be an option on the high trim models like the Laramie.

I'm really not seeing the point in the rotary knob for the shifter either? Eww. I wonder where the + and - gear selector will be at? Oh and that chrome trim around the taillights?? Double eww.

I do however, love that they are FINALLY offering a crew cab with a 6.4 foot bed. Power folding mirrors should have been offered a long time ago too.

I'm pretty excited to get to see one of these in person :********:

Engineers also improved the Ram 1500’s drag coefficient thanks to massaged bodylines and active aerodynamics including active grille shutters and air suspension. The suspension has five height settings depending on speed and terrain and can be adjusted automatically or manually.

Active grille shutters??

Gotta say i dont really like anything look wise on it at all

 

[jacsyl94]

They will start looking nice once people start customizing them. I like it...

 

[macmongrel]

i dont understand how you can't like anything about it....I mean it still looks like a new dodge...the new dodges look way better than the older gens IMO and the cosmetic changes to the '13 seem to be very subtle...the tech stuff seem to be the major changes

Yeah I'm not getting it either. I think it's mainly because of all the Chrome. Not liking it when you own a 4th Gen is a bit silly. Wait until you see it in different colors, and different packages before you pass judgment. I think the Interior looks much more refined, and the fuel saving tech is a welcome addition in my book. I've been able to get up to 21.6 as my highest average on a long road trip, add a couple more to that with some of the fuel saving tech and we could possibly be looking at 23mpgs from a 395hp 5.7 V8. Sounds pretty good to me. Screw Ford and their rice burner ripoff ecoturd engine. I'll pay a little more for gas to listen to sweet Hemi music through Magnaflow, rather than driving around in what sounds like an angry weedeater.

Cool headlight pic

 

[Trupiano]

Like the projectors but hate all the chrome and RAM label on the side.

I'm thinking JJ could make those headlights look really good :********:

 

[TexasRammer]

that headlight angle form the side looks good, but the rest... it just looks likes someone took a 2012 ram and put cheap ebay headlights on and some cheapo grille on it, maybe its just too much chrome

 

[TexasRammer]

i like the interior upgrades and the suspension is kinda cool, just hate the look, maybe itll grow on me, need to see a sport version

 

[zuiquan1]

Sorry dont like it...everyone has different opinions.

I think the center console is way too cluttered, hate the knob gear changer, I prefer the larger ac vents. Way too many buttons. Everything flows much better in my truck. None of the exterior changes are to my fancy either. Grill is ugly, headlights are ugly, vertical fogs are ugly, taillight chrome is ugly, etc, etc....

Technology is cool though.....I would love to steal some of that and put it in my truck! Wonder how much a 2013 pcm costs....and air suspension....and speedo cluster....mygig....uh oh.....

I think the 09-12 trucks got it perfect for my tastes, love the interior, exterior everything is way more subtle.


If I were to ever get one of these I change pretty much everything back to the 09-12 look.

i wonder how much clearance you get when its maximized, if its what it looks like on one of those simulated pics on the cluster, it looks huge
