Not a fan of the RAM logo on the tailgate. I don't mind the chrome trim along the bottom of it. The grill I'd have to get used to... as of now, not a big fan of it, either.

The interior looks nice. I like the sliding drawer over the center cubby hole. Doesn't look like much else has changed, interior wise. Nothing major anyway.

I agree that the huge "RAM' on the tailgate is way too much. I am wondering whether the letters could be removed. I read somewhere that the tailgate now has a raised area under the letters, but I could live with that as long as it was just painted like the tailgate.

The grill looks odd to me too. I like the fact that it's different and gets away from the vertical and horizontal bars, but I just can't figure out what the two big "nostrils" are all about. I figure I could always change it out to a billet grill, though.

The interior and rest of the changes are ok, I think.

IMO, being a "Limited" should mean that everything is subtle and tasteful and just a bit better then normal. Nicer materials, better stitching, subtle styling cues,etc..

This new design is neither subtle, nor tasteful.

Well said. Are you listening Chrysler?

I was going to keep mine for 5 years. Not now the grill and tailgate are awesome. About time Chrysler changed it up. A little retro with the tailgate.

I'm not huge on the grill, or the big Ram logo. I'll wait until the big design change to get my next one :) lol

Is that what the 2016's will actually look like or a concept truck? I am going to order a 2015 if they are going to ruin the styling like that.

Ordered a '15 sport a few weeks ago just for that reason...

The RAM lettering on the tailgate is tacky, the grill is somewhat digestible but needs to be toned down too. This reeks of response to the Tundra's redesign.
