Attention: TDR Forum Junkies Gentlemen can I have your attention please, I have a VISUAL confirmation of the next gen. RAMS. They WILL be avaliable with 4 FULL SIZE DOORS on 3/4 and 1 tons. Please let me explain.
I live about 20 miles south of Houston Tex. , about half way between the coastal city of Galveston and Houston. Business takes me to Galveston often. Tuesday around 11:00 am as I am heading over the bridge that connects the Island to the mainland I see 4 strange looking trucks ahead of me in the center lane. They are completely, and I mean completely covered (except the front and back glass and driver and passenger glass) with bra material (the kind for the front of vehicles, not your wifes, girlfriends, significant others chest support). They were in order, a 1 ton, two 3/4 tons and a single half ton. They all had Michigan Manufactures plates, and had a driver and a passenger. They had what appeared to be a dash mounted laptop computer assessible for the passenger. They also had some sort of wind gauge on top of each truck. Here are some of the vitals i could see while traveling beside them for several miles.
1. Four FULL size doors on both the one and 3/4 tons.
2. FOUR wheel disc brakes on all trucks.
3. A redesigned dash (I could not get a very good look but could tell it was different than todays).
4. 4 wheel drives (only one of the 3/4 ton trucks) will be independent suspension.
5. The diesels were very quiet. You could not here the Diesel noise at 70 mph until you got to the front of the truck. You could not tell it was diesel at the exhaust at 70 mph.
6. The front end has been changed but not sure how much. They had the single high intensity headlamps.
7. They also appeared to be riding on larger than 16 inch wheels, except the 1/2 ton.
There was absolutely no badgeing on these trucks what so ever. You had to get to the very front and see the front end (under the light mask to allow full air flow) to be able to make out that they were Dodges. I spent approx. 2-3 miles riding beside each truck. I would have killed to have had a camera or video. The guys in the trucks only glanced over at me once and smiled and nodded. Words can't describe how pumped I was when I saw them. I wanted to get on line last night and pass this on but was not able to get access.
My only question is why were they in Texas?? We aren't close to the border if say they were built in Satillo Mex. then driven across to return to Michigan. They could have been testing the 4 wheel drives out in the sand (this I doubt).
It was painfully obvious that the 1 ton and two 3/4 tons were 4 doors. If anyone else in Texas or beyond has seen this QUAD traveling along with two chase trucks let me know. By the way the chase trucks were a 1/2 yellow sport quad cab 4 WD, and a V-8 TOYota tundra, blue I believe. Like I said they all had Michigan Manufactures plates, Light Blue in color.

92 Ext. Cab, Auto trans. , 3. 54 Non-LS, Isspro Tach and Pyro (pre-turbo), 200,500+ miles, old and abused but still running strong!!!!
