One thing I take from these last two trim packages from RAM (Rebel and this one) is that the next gen Ram may dump the crosshairs grill, which would be a disappointment imo.

Might be a move to separate the Ram brand from Dodge. They better be careful with that. I'll wait to see it in the flesh, often quite different from photos.

I didn't care for the Laramie Limited when I bought mine, and still don't. Too gaudy.

After looking at the Longhorn, and the Limited . I think just the Laramie got it just right ,not all that bling

Agreed. That's why I picked the Laramie. The gaudy cowboy theme isn't for me.

Yup, being raised in Montana, and having ,and being around horses a good portion of my life, not the Cowboy theme i'm interested in , but each to his own.

I agree... The RAM brand appears to be removing any design DNA that resembles the Dodge brand.

This is more evidence of Hegbloom's motive behind the Dodge truck demise to create the RAM division.

My take on Hegbloom's latest design theme is about as hideous as GM's low hanging DEF tank.

imagine that, RAM having a hard on for big ghey badges

That just made me think, I may just remove the big belt buckle LongHorn badges from my 11 before trading it in.

Wearing my LongHorn Buckle drivin my LongHorn truck with the Cowboy stitching. Don't no better.:B

Looks like there's not a lot of LongHorn cowboy fans here... Don't worry I like the Cowboy theme. :B

BTW... If I owned a '13-'15 RAM I would make sure I keep my tailgate locked at all times. :S

Agreed. I'll stick with my "basic" Laramie. They can keep the over priced, useless and downright ugly, add ons. Why would anyone pay extra for that? The price of these trucks is bad enough as it is.

Why would they for pay for those things, I would guess prestige. It's important to some, and some just like the bling. Only the person buying knows why they want to spend the extra for the bling.

I had the money, and no I didn't buy it , and I don't like it.

I'm sure there are plenty of people that want to "one up" someone and will buy one just to show they are "better" than the other person. I'm sure they will sell plenty. I don't like the grille and haven't even seen the tailgate...

I'm not big on options and toys. A truck is a truck to me. My current truck has tow mirrors, the upgraded audio with steering wheel controls, 4WD and a backup camera. When I am driving my truck I don't look at the dash for any reason other than to monitor speed and temps. My bare skin never touches the seat so I don't care about leather. I don't spend time admiring the truck from outside, so I don't care about fancy trim.

I'm sure some people love all the fancy gadgets. Most of the stuff I like is "standard" now. Saves me money and payload. That being said, you can spend your money on whatever you want.
