Is it my imagination or are RAM trucks getting uglier and uglier? Sure are getting expensive, 65 grand for a coil sprung 1/2 ton short bed grocery getter... Not for me.
Not a fan of the new looks either it looks more like the new fordgmtoyota. Yea they are getting more expensive not just from inflation but gadgets that people spring for. Not me just specked a 4 door 6.5 bed 19 Hemi RAM Big Horn for 41k. Looked at a new f150 the other day with a sticker sniffing 70k and it still has the antiquated leaf springs from horse carts and model T days. Even straight trucks did away with them 50 years ago.
Agree about the 5 1/2' boxes I ordered the 6 1/2' box in my RAM which has fit motorcycles, ATVs, riding lawn mowers even a heavy golf cart. Just air up the bags for smooth compliant & controlled ride even on rough road. Semi's have been promoting air ride for decades since they dumped leaf springs and had to overcome the reputation for jarring bouncing and breaking contents.
Air Ride is very much the go with Cabover Semis. Is the RAM ugly ?looks very Asiatic. I noticed the Canadians are getting more a subdued RAM 1500
