FCA has pushed the 2018 Ram HD redesign out do to being short on cash, but has money to spend on Alpha Romeo which I'm sure will be another flop.

Alfa Romeo development comes from a separate bucket of cash that is not connected to Ram and Chrysler.
Alfa Romeo is part of FCA and all of FCA profits can be invested in any of their divisions based on managements decision and how they see fit. Sergio's strategy has been to invest more into AR and to bring more new AR to market including North America. This attempt will most likely be another failure like Sergio's attempt to bring the Fiat product back to North America. In the viewpoint of Ram and Jeep it's called "Rob Peter to pay Paul". They know who's bucket it's coming from!
In the meantime Dodge is dieing on the vine.

It would be nice if the new Ram HD's have the new EGR-Free Cummins 6.7L that were revealed last year. One less emissions device is one less headache to deal with down the road, and the EGR and cooler is the worst.
Cummins reveal EGR-free new engine lineup
The engine will be free of any emissions systems. All will be downstream.
Yeah it has already been in our class 7 Peterbilt and Navistar trucks for a while now. The trucks do use a little more DEF, but I will take that over an EGR being clogged and checking the engine. Next year we should start seeing the rest of the EGR-Free engines in the rest of our lineup.

I love my 2013 just like many others on here. I'm also happy that they have not changed them significantly; the design is excellent overall inside and out and works well. I still love the looks of the Laramie front end and 4th generation dually. The Cummins and CP3 is just icing on the cake! :B
My wife also loves the look of the truck and wouldn't trade it for anything, even the new Ford and GM. She also likes not having to worry about reliability when travelling which we both did with our previous 6.0L.
I hope they don't do anything too radical with the redesign and ruin the good looks of the truck. Saying that, this truck may be my last. The price of new trucks is getting too high to justify buying one every few years and I figure if I keep this one super well maintained, clean, and garage kept it will likely outlast me. I see many 1st generation Cummins trucks running around that are still in great shape and run perfectly so I'm sure this one will be still perfectly fine in 20-30 years. I'm getting to a point in my life where I need to concentrate my financial powers on my son's post secondary education, paying down my mortgage, and preparing for retirement in 20 years time!
