2010 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty

Don't know if this has been posted or not, but here it is.

For everybody that's not aware that the new Ram HD was being unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show, here are some articles I could find regarding the new Ram HD. There was not much publicity over the Ram and for obvious reasons.

You're right... the thread probably should be there but the truck should be in Fred Sanford's back yard.

It looks like dodge has dropped manual t case except for ST and Power Wagon. Also the manual tranny can only be had with the cummins. I didn't see any mention about whether or not the rear was coil sprung on these trucks.

They still look pretty fugly. I would think that they would try to improve on that in the last decade, but then again I am not a genius truck designer.

Gents, talk about the pot calling kettle black! The SD is butt-frickin' nasty with it's droopy eyes. Have any of you actually seen an XL F-250/350?

That Dodge has quite the bulbous front end, eh?

Monsta,
I have always thought my 05 looks better in front than my 08. But can honestly say I would rather drive an ugly Ford than be caught in an ugly rattle trap. When you buy the truck, Chrysler oughtta include a new set of teeth in the warranty agreement
