    New York 2012: What Is Ram Teasing Here?

    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.

    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 ;) ).

    • yes exactly. And if you think about it, because the highlander and grand highlander are now about the same size, this is effectively the only model that can be had in EV, Hybrid, or just gasoline. 
    • Only if you're a rapist or Pedo! Those seem to be a requirement with the current administration of Idiot47. Never flew on them, I not really heard much good from folks except if your just focused on price.
    • What I was really going to post ... This is more of a QUESTION than it is a random post. Have any of you flown on the lesser known airlines like Frontier, Allegiant, etc.? - - - - - I flew on Spirit only once and surprisingly got a good fare from Pensacola to South Florida (Lauderdale, in this case).  It was about $105 with the bag underneath and a window seat.  I got lucky that time.  It was cheaper than driving and less tiring. What about Frontier and Allegiant?  They initially display a favorable price with zero add-ons.  But, by the time you add a rollaboard and a bag underneath, does it come out to about what the legacy carriers might charge?  I always get turned off when I check out Frontier or Spirit, only to find that it's not as cheap as it looks and I don't get miles credited to a significant account. As for Southwest, they're just like the other carriers now ... you pay for bags, good seats, etc. Help needed with the "other" cheapies ... especially Frontier.  Thanks.
    • Good morning: "Presidential material?!?" LOL
    • Kia and Hyundai are pretty much committed to their new EV name space as they have all categories pretty much covered and yet for everyone else, it makes sense to stick with their original names, pretty much Genesis realized this early and in 2023 when announcing the 2024 EV models changed to using their existing names so you had as an example a GV60 or GV60 EV. Makes sense to stick to their original naming.
