2013 Ram in the flesh

[wermbang]

Rim choices look pretty good.


JJ are you going to start putting a small logo on your headlights?

those are great pics

That screen is BIG!

I'm still undecided...there are some things I really like about it, but like the others have mentioned, I'm just not feeling that shifter knob. Everything else I can pretty much option out. One of the biggest things I like is the crew cab with full bed.

Is it just me or does the back seat now look like it has air vents (bottom corners of the rear of the console)? That's one of the biggest complaints I have with my interior is that no air vents to the rear. Heck, my last truck was a 2002 Silverado and even had them.

I do like the color options and wheel choices for 2013 - plenty to choose from now.

Thanks for getting us those pics Matt.

The current crews already have the vents. The quads don't though I believe

So that makes the crew even better...rear air vents, under floor storage, and rear middle flip down arm rest. The quad cabs really miss out on the good stuff.

hell to the NO!

Not my style.

 

[Trupiano]

Yeah the logo on the head's looks a little tacky. Glad you agree!

 

[LB3711]

they are all doing it. ferds and chebys had it too. some non-American cars had it too

Awesome pics, thanks for taking the time to share!! Im not really a fan of all the high-tech upgrades but the new 8spd is something to look forward too. I have a 2012 express with the "new" 6speed and 3.55's and it does 94mph in second gear. I hope the 8spd is spaced better than the 6, I shouldnt need 4.10's to make my truck run like...a truck!!

How do you do that? I'm pretty sure mine is in 3rd if not 4th at over 90 mph

I'm thinking mine was in 4th or 5th at 90 or so and I have 3.55's. And that was to the floor.

Thanks about the comments on the pics. My GF does a good job. It was a fun time looking at everything there. 4 floors of new and concepts.

Here is a link to some more pics of the show but no more of the Ram

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!!

i though it would still up shift even in manual mode dont you have to have a programmer to completely let you take control of your gear switching i might be wrong lol

switch it out with a 2010 pcm

Yeah for what little crank hp the 6.2 has over the hemi, it's definitely a lot faster. I'm guessing they probably make around 320 or 330 rwhp compared to the ram's 305ish rwhp. And I might have to try getting to those speeds in 2nd gear

At a certain limit it will shift, around 5600 rpm I believe

I like the new orange color option for 2013

x2

the wheel options are really cool. I like the sport, laramie, and bighorn/lonestar ones.

 

[0212353]

yeah that orange is hot. I really want a RCSB sport in that color. Oh.......the wife would kill me if I got another truck! LOL

 

[Stroked]

Yea, that new orange color is awesome. I would have had a hard time deciding between that and mineral gray.

I like the new wheels too. Hmmm time to add another mod to the list. Better than the generic rockstars and all chrome stuff.

 

[Hemi Joe]

Looks great, although I'm not a fan of the woodgrain, so I can't wait to what a Sport looks like. Hell, as soon as I see a RCSB 2013 Express with the Hemi + 8spd I may be at my dealer again.
