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 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.

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.

Tail gate and lights remind me of a Ford tailgate
