What was Ram thinking

Careful what you wish for.... :W

Wow!!!! Talk about "angst" look it up and every Ford Super Duty owner will have their picture listed! So lets get this straight, if you own a Ford (the McDonald's of trucks) your opinion is the only thing that matters??? OK good to know!

Sorry but how long has Ford had the same look? What truck company changed how trucks look? (Hint it wasn't Ford) For the ssslllooowww kids, it's Ram Trucks not Dodge, but that's OK goes with the memory and why Ford has to stamp it all over their trucks.

I like the front end of the Ram Limited, the tailgate needs to get toned down IMO but we will see how it sells.

You guys understand that grill and tailgate will only be on the Limited trucks right? Talk about fugly, Fords have been the fugliest trucks out there for sometime now. GM's new line of trucks look nice.

Maybe Ram figured one huge badge was better then Supper Duty on what 7 locations of the Ford pick up? Whats up with that, you guys have short term memory loss and need to be reminded what you are driving? :)

:) Hi, I guess people love what you call fugly; Sure as 7734 out sells them-there Dogs, I mean Dodges. I think the new Dog/Dodge grill looks great. It's about time they thought about changing that buck tooth look. "Fix It Again Tony." :B

Over the past 20 years, Ram designers have led the pack for rugged handsome designs. However, whoever has done THIS should be strung up by the cojones.....very poor taste. Totally ugly. Disappointed in you guys

Hey, that cowboy in you is coming out!! LOL!!!

I crawled in one of those Laramie Longhorns and you are right.. pretty sweet for a cowboy truck ;)

No worries though... I'm not sure if its you or another poster who commented about the vinyl feeling leather in the Town and Country Minivan... I have one of them and really like the leather... Different strokes for different folks... thats why they make different trim levels... :)

Thanks!

No speculation. This model is a go. Most to the individuals that expressed they do not like the design are Ram people. So the question is why take it so personal if there is not a 100% consensus on your preferred brands design. I know I am not a fan of every design to come out from my preferred brand.

I'm with you. I am a Ram guy and I do not like the new design. I do not understand why the OEM of any of the brands feel they have to advertise the brands in such big ways. People that are brand loyal don't need to have the names look like billboards across the tailgates. The people that don't care which brand they drive don't pay attention to the names on them no matter how big they are posted.

I guess what makes it look so bad to me is they have not change the truck itself any, just added a different grill and tailgate. If they had done a big redesign on the body and everything it may not have been as bad.

IDK, maybe it will grow on me. I do know that the new GM design was a home run. I have liked it since the first one I saw. Ford is the same as Ram to me. They changed the grill, tailgate and hood and pretty much left the rest the same except the F150. It is a home run too. Very nice looking truck.

Whew! Glad you have your opinion. Ford still has classy lines and a tough look. GM's square wheel wells are the same problem GM has always had... trying to put a round peg in a square hole.

I have not seen any positive feedback in the Ram upgrade. I'm betting this will be a one and done change.
