Rumor has it there is a new tailgate on the Dodge?
Not to be out done by GM. We shall see at the Chicago autoshow. https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/autostrucks/could-ram-debut-all-new-tailgate-to-rival-the-gmc-sierras-multipro/ar-BBT1Md4

This sounds like an outstanding way to access the bed of the truck while still connected to a trailer.
Or to load the bed with a fork lift. Or to enter and exit the truck. Seems like a good well though out design.
I do think RAM does seem to be falling behind with the transmissions. But it wasn’t that long ago that the majority of posters here were certain that 6 speeds was all you need with the flat torque curve of today’s diesels. What changed?
To me it's a matter of diminishing returns. 3 to 4 gears is a bigger deal than 4 to 5 which is a bigger deal than 5 to 6 and so on. I do think more gears will benefit the gas rigs more because they have a narrower and higher torque curve compared to the diesels, but I'm sure the diesels will benefit too.
