2016 RAM picks and article

[mwilson]

There is a fine line between class and no class. The RAM letters on the tailgate are the latter of the two.

Besides, there isn't enough room for my bumper stickers, "Welfare is not a job" and "Impeach Obama"....

I had a "Don't Blame Me, I Voted For Romney" sticker

OMG! If that isn't ugly, I don't know what is. The grill looks so out of whack with the truck - and what's with the cat's whiskers look? Did it just swallow a Chevy with a mouse motor? The only thing the billboard on the tailgate needs to finish it off is light-up letters! Even worse than the Fird HD "mutilated Tonka" style in my opinion.

I guess you could swap the grill, but I can't imagine prying those letters off the tailgate. Ugh!

I figured as much that a lot of you guys would agree…simply fugly!!

But isn't the new body for the 1500's and not the HD's ?

IF it's going to transfer to the HD, looks like I'll be moving up my replacement purchase to a 2015.

It ranks right up there with the ugly F-thing Superduty truck grill

The aftermarket grill manufacturers are going to make a killing on this truck!

In the past, the latest 1500 body is incorporated into the HD line.

I really hope Fiat/Chrysler/Ram reads these forums. They already let the Cummins slip through its fingers for the 1/2 tons and now they hit the 1/2 ton with a big ole ugly stick. Good job Fiat.

Dang right! They are screwing the pouch. They need to fire the design studio staff that allowed this.

The way I interpreted the article this design is limited to the "Limited".
Is this not true? I truly hope they don't go all in with the body design. It would be sensible to test the waters and see how well it sells as an option.

You are correct. This model will be purchased by the same people who buy Lincoln “trucks” to go shopping at the mall. They want a vehicle that screams “Look at me, I’ve got $$$$” so the more extravagant and gaudy the vehicle the better. The scary part is that there are enough of those buyers out there that Dodge thinks it is worth pursuing that segment
