Next generation changes

[cmills]

What changes would you like to see on the next generation RAM? Most of all I would like to see the Aisin and 3.73 and 4.10 gear ratios available on the the 2500 and 3500 srw trucks. Just curious as to what changes others would like to see.

1- Ram Boxes available with the 8 (real box size) foot box.
2- Dial for adjusting the cabin temperature.
3- 10 foot box option. Back in the day truck boxes were made to haul 4 by 8 foot sheets of plywood. Today's homes are being built with taller ceilings and we can buy 14 foot material now.
4- Factory in bed lighting.

I would like to see regular locking hubs on the 4x4 with old school widely spaced heavy duty wheel bearings that can stand up to a 10' snowplow, and are as durable as our Cummins.

Mega Cab long bed so I don't have to cut my next truck like I did this one. Better headlights. For us desert dwellers, REAR HVAC!!! Not talking just the vents on the floor like we have now which run off the front, but real rear air like my Durango, Tahoes, Expeditions, minivans, etc.

 

[Newsa]

A bit less torque management. Cast iron case for G56, with larger sump and fins.
And I second the factory in bed lighting. I have the cargo light up by the brake light, but doesn't illuminate much.

 

[gsbrockman]

Factory installed pickup box lighting is available on certain models.

Fog lights in the tradesman trim level.

it may sound dumb to some but i would like to have a light on the rear (possibly a LED light by the backup camera) to illuminate the area when hooking and unhooking trailers in the dark

Oddly enough....one can get them in a 2016 Tradesman Cab & Chassis.

Not sure if they're available on the 2016 pickups yet.

That would be quite a truck......that would cost $100,000 dollars.........

Not quite sure what in that list would add $40,000????

Even with R&D on a transmission and transfercase you aren't looking at that much extra per vehicle. I could see $10K over a current cost but that would be about it.

It's all a dream anyhow.

Love your list, my '14 2500 does have item 5, rear anti-roll/sway bar, and 7.

I'd particularly love to see: 1-3,6,8.

Hail to the drivers who want driver control and HD options.

 

[cmills]

[Brett Maverick]

Two speed rear end, 4.10 for haulin the 5th wheel, 3.42 for the other 75% of the driving.
