    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 ;) ).

      True they could have done better, but then if that is all they are loaned by the companies, who can you blame but the company who loaned a single stage to go up against a dual stage. Kinda like folks that compare dual pane to triple pane windows and complain about the cost without looking at the full picture. This comparison had some valid data but agree with you that it could have been a fairer comparison of like units. Makes one wonder if he clearly stated he wanted all dual stage units or just asked for a snow blower to compare.

      Hahaha they compared a $1700 two-stage Ego to two cheap, single-stage units. 200lb Ego vs 33lb Greenworks vs 47lb Worx. Why they wouldn't have at least tried Greenworks two-stage units is just plain stilly. Also, why not against another real unit in one of Toro's $1700 two-stage unit.  What a crap comparison.

      Tribute - invite - milestone

      By trinacriabob · Posted

      Very nicely written tribute for your late friend Phil.  We all need more folks like this in our lives. The cream colored Monte Carlo in the montage is beautiful.  The 1981 to 1986+/- coupe was a real uptick for the MC. Belated happy New Year from across the pond.  I'm enjoying the much slower rhythm so far and the people have been great.

      What Are You Listening To?

      No, I'm not going to weave in any Subaru jokes.  When anyone first hears this, they know it's a good song - it's sort of catchy - and the voice is stellar. But the trippy part is the black and white video itself showing a strange stage act in this grande dame type theater.  The people in the play look like something right out of a Jack Kerouac or John Steinbeck novel.  It all leaves you hanging as to how and why it may all fit together.
