Unmasked 2019 Ram 1500

I'm not real keen on it, at least yet. I plan on keeping my '13 until death do us part anyway so maybe not being crazy about it is a good thing. Reduces the temptation! :B

Here's a couple pictures of the ram with the new split tailgate.

The mirrors look like the current gen mirrors as far as I can tell. Those are towing mirrors on that particular model. It does have 6 lug wheels which is an upgrade from 5 lug of the current gen. I wonder what other changes related to that are under the sheet metal. I do like that they moved the badging up to the hood. I think it has a reasonably aerodynamic look to it. It took me quite a while to warm up to the current gen Rams. This one has been easier. Sometimes, for me at least, that means that the look may become old fast.

Good catch on the lugs. I'm not sure how big of a deal that is on a half ton but more is better.

Hmmm. I thought something looked a bit familiar here so I covered the grill in the photo with my left hand. Sure enough, the 19 Ram sure looks an awful lot like my old 07 Tundra...right down to the choice of wheels and side-view mirrors. What’s old is new again as they say?

Well as the world turns I'd imagine it gets more difficult to find truly unique new designs that accomplish everything. Attractive (subjective, but human nature is similar), better aerodynamics for the ever watchful EPA regs and consumer fuel mileage expectations and practical/economical to produce (interchangeable parts across production lines). All this is a tough algorithm to solve.

Why are my shrink to fit 501s back in style? Because everything that is old is new again.......

Does look like an old Tundra had sex with a new Durango though and this is the love child...lol.

Beats the 'Nostrel' Look

Yeah, but now it has baggy eyes :E

Great looking truck.
Is it just sheet metal change or a new designed frame/drivetrain/etc along with it.

its still a box... aerodynamic brick... just like the new 2019 Chevy.. they removed the square wheel well openings...thankfully.

after engine efficiency, reduced weight... improved aerodynamics...

so where is it.???????????

I think it looks nice but on a truck I put cosmetics near the bottom of my priorities because I think they all look nice. I am much more interested in the functional stuff.

I don't care for it, reminds me of a Durango, just my thoughts.
