    New York 2012: What Is Ram Teasing Here?

    William Maley

    March 29, 2012

    The image seen here was posted on Ram's Facebook page today. Its a craftily cropped picture of a Ram front end. The picture is part of a series of daily teaser photos leading up to the truck’s April 5 reveal. Ram is calling this campaign “A Giant Awaits.”

    So what could this be? Our guess is that will it the new 3.6L Pentastar V6 and eight-speed automatic combo as shown in a SEC filling earlier in March.

    We'll find out what "A Giant Awaits" means on April 5th at the New York Auto Show.

    Intrepidation

    Of course it's the V6 model. Firstly, the SRT wouldn't be chrome, it'd be body color. Secondly, there's huge market for the V6 model and nearly zero for the another SRT truck. Sure it was cool but that's not where the money is. Don't forget the take rate on the best selling F-150's V6 models handily outsells the V8. In fact the EcoBoost V6 alone outsells the V8 model.

    I know the new Limited model was recently announced... could this be a Denali-competitor package from Ram? All that chrome, my eyes!!

    In retrospec I would have to agree that his Chrome Monster is to compete with the Denali. BLING XD BLING XD BLING XD

    Interesting...so they are doing a Limted model...they already have a Big Horn version that seems to be like Ford's King Ranch.

    They're offering the Laramie Limited model based on the same premise just without all the goofy cowboy stuff. I think that's a great idea, because I don't like the Ford King Ranch nor the Ram LongHorn and Big Horn packages, though they are popular with the truck crowds (the city boy in me doesn't do country). One of the main reasons I like the GMC Denali package - nothing to do with cowboys!! I think Ram realized they can go after more buyers who want top-of-the-line stuff without all the silly cowboy and rodeo "stuff" (not the word I wanted to use ;) ).

      I would rather have EV than a turbo 4, although the Ranger has done well for itself. About to turn 126K, it just keeps on trucking.    Didn't even know they made bikes in the USA anymore.

      My Bitch of the day, trucks like this need to be impounded for being illegal. The tires outside the wheel well, no mud flaps and way too high to be safe to other autos on the road. Sadly due to most states having this as such a low penalty, police ignore it when they should not as those tires especially during fall / winter throw so many rocks and other debris that it can crack and cause all kinds of problems for drivers. On top of this, I have seen these truck owners replace the fog lights with normal driving LED lights to light the road since the normal headlights are too high now and then they end up blinding people. Totally agree with this article, I do not think the modern small turbo motors will last the way V8 and V6 engines have in the past. Yes, I know not all V6 and V8s have lasted, but I feel the points in this article are pretty spot on. Downsized, Efficient, But Fragile — Why Today’s Engines May Not Last - Autoblog

      I betchoo that most of Luigi's supporters cheering him on were females.  The guy is a very well dressed and groomed individual. He is also kinda good looking too.  Some girls like that kinda thing in a guy.  Plus the whole murder thing and he is the bad boy some of them crave to tame.    (maybe...what the hell do I know???!!!) Well...he does know what looks good on him at least.  Knows what works for him. If nothing else, he does not dress like a slob and look like a bum.  Better to look good than to feel good, I guess.  Which brings up his mental well being...     Perhaps, a loved one may have gotten their insurance claim denied, or their policy terminated and he vowed revenge on the next insurance CEO suit he observed...  "Let them eat cake" kinda thing and with a "off with her head" result.   Im indifferent to murders like this one.   People gonna snap when injustices are prevalent. People revolt... Maybe this CEO was a sweet man and his insurance company he represented and worked for accomplished the tasks of angels.  Or maybe not.     All I know is that human beings are supposed to have 2 eyebrows...

      Well...I do not know about all that... Its easy for me to hate on ANYTHING american right now.  As you guys know...   But I will give praise where praise is due.  u.s. airliners are amongst the safest of all airliners in the world.  Maybe not THE safest but BECAUSE the FAA and the NTSB are quite strict and those entities are BASED in the us, american based airliners COMPLY.  And to be fair, the AMOUNT of americans flying for coast to coast daily, INCLUDING ALL the professional sports teams that fly coast to coast, there isnt ANY incidents.  This year was an anomaly. Quite a few of them incidents did happen. Most of that had to do with trump firing air traffic controllers and the like all in the name of musk's doge bullshyte.   Delta had a couple of questionable incidents and I get it...   But all in all, the airplane industry in the u.s.(except for maybe Boeing the last 15 years and doge) is the ONE industry where money does NOT come before safety and human lives...
