Air suspension? 2013

[RBellah]

I was looking at the 2013 ram website and it is showing air suspension. Not for sure but looks like only on 1500 series.

It looks like the system that came out on the GC last year.

OMG, it has air ride and friggin' shutters in front of the radiator like an old big rig.



It's 1/2 truck... ... ... ...



I'm a fan already.

I am going to guess that the 2500/3500 will follow the year after, I hope.

Doubt that. The system is not designed fo weight but to alter ride height for better handling under a variety of terrain

That system I would assume is designed for the 1500 weight truck. I installed a air rear suspension on my 3500 dually and it works great. Most class 8 trucks on the road are now using air ride suspension, Why not Ram??

Mike,



I'd almost forgotten about radiator shutters... back in the days of V-549 gas burners, $0. 35/gallon gasoline, and cab top air conditioners. :-laf

I agree a 100% air ride would be awesome on a hd pick up. I just don't see it happening from the bean counter side
