Glad to see the white faced gauge cluster is Gonzo !!! Over all I like the looks, but I'm more interested in the 2500. (in reply to derricksmash) Post #: 3

Unlike that comparison I like this one out of the box, no growing on me needed.  One thing I am not a fan of though, the stationary grill.  While it is probably more durable than the GEN III grills it will make working in the engine bay more difficult. < Message edited by 94rt10ohio -- 5/8/2008 9:17:02 AM > _____________________________ -94 Viper RT/10<--Click -04 Ram SRT-10<--Click Supercharged! -05 Ram 4x4 Hemi (in reply to truckin151) Post #: 8

I'm all for change most of the time... but i don't like this change... (in reply to derricksmash) Post #: 11

RE: 2009 Dodge Ram - LIKE or NOT LIKE - 5/17/2008 4:18:15 PM    dswan414 Posts: 53 Joined: 1/28/2007 From: Quincy, IL Status: offline Overall, I like it.  In detail, here is what I like and don't: -PROS- Focus on higher quality interior -> more competitive with the competition, and like somebody said, makes the owner feel like he has a high-quality piece of advanced engineering Slanted "Charger-Reminiscent" grille -> anything that relates to the Charger is a plus in my book Bumper-Integrated Exhuast -> looks good but note it's also on my con list Aerodynamics and Sound Insulation -> related to higher quality interior, having a quieter ride (besides exhaust system) is pleasant, especially when listening to music or talking to people in the truck or on cell phone (p.s. pull over if it's gonna be a talker!) Bed Wall Storage -> the more weather-proof storage built in to the truck, the better. Virtually all other new features for '09 -> more features = more competitive on the market.  There may be some things I'm not crazy about, but if it makes it more competitive against other new trucks, Dodge will be more profitable, thus continuing to make great and better trucks -CONS- Bumper-Integrated Exhaust -> over time, the heat will likely cause the bumper to get jenkity Hood-Free Grille -> harder to work on engine; truck enthusiasts work on their trucks, not just send them to shops where they don't care how hard they are to get worked on I really like the the idea of a light turbo diesel available for the 1500, it's just too bad they weren't available sooner.  At first it was rumored the 2010 would be available with the Mercedes 3.0L Common-Rail turbo diesel, but then I saw someone it will have V8 turbo diesel, which is it?  I think a smaller diesel would be better (for fuel economy; a lot of people drive trucks now and rarely haul anything), but an option for a bigger one would be perfect, for those who haul but don't need a heavier Ram.
