RE: 2009 Dodge Ram pic
RLSH700, Forgive my ignorance, is Dodge offering a raider again? I remember the Mitsu import of the 80's prone to rolling (even had an artificial horizon in the damned thing and a I believe a warning buzzer)....
I've noticed that one as well. I'm not sure why the current Dakota is so expensive other than the fact that it is so big. I think the size is a lot of the issue. The problem is you can no longer get an optional V8 in the Raider like you can in the Dakota. That is one reason why they are not selling as it needs the V8.

I really hate to say it, but that truck looks a lot nicer then the Dakota right now that's for sure. Now switch the bodies and the badging, give the Dakota body to the Raider and visa versa, and keep the price, and I would be out looking for one. Oh yeah, and who could forget, give me a manual or forget it.

That model ram looks better than the last model. BUT I still am not impressed with it. My favorite year was the 96 and the years that looked like this one. If I were to buy a Ram again, I would look for a used one of these years. But I don't really like buying used vehicles.

As of the 2007 it has a V8. A 4.7 liter that puts out a 235hp; the same engine as a 07 dakota. the 08 dakota has 302hp v8 and a v6 gives out 210 hp.

I agree with TechmanBD, the looks of the 1994-2001 were the best looking Ram's ever built. I just haven't been satisfied with the looks of any of the more current ones after seeing those. I'm just glad the new models are getting rid of those terrible head lights they added in 2006 that looks like somebody had tapped someone's eye lids wide open to torture them.

I currently have a 2000 Ram sport. Glad to hear you guys like that body style. I don't have a problem with the 03-05 body style. I think it looks great in black. In fact, I was going to get an 03-05 black ram until a while back when I first heard the Challenger was coming back.
And RLSH700, I couldn't agree more with the way you described the 06 to present headlights on the Ram. Yuck! Also, when they changed the taillights on the Ram to have the 3-D circles popping out (similar to the Dakota[before the latest redesign]). Not a fan of those either.

RE: 2009 Dodge Ram pic
Its an alright looking Ram overall, clean lines. In your face aggression is present, but what I really love is that tool box on the side rail! I would love to have that installed on my '01 Ram. Hmmm... fabrication time?[8D]
