    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 ;) ).

      In this case, I think I'm having a bad dream!  Just kidding. This was the fly inthe ointment in terms of 1976 GM colors and, while it was really cool that they had all the matching different colors for the trim pieces inside, think about how much of a head scratcher that was in terms of penciling out.

      I think I'm dreaming  Look at how beautiful this S/R coupe is as he spins it around the parking lot. Crank windows!  I think the black landau and black interior take away from the rich, dark burgundy exterior. The price is not stated.  Good luck getting parts. Regardless, we didn't know how good we had it.  This was bicentennial year stuff.

      That Scout EV looks hot AF.    A dumb man can be crude by instinct   An intelligent man can build a system elegant enough to protect his vanity and call it realism

      Yes, one can never sneeze at 49mpg or more when it saves one money. I am keeping my eye on the Scout as they have already announced that it will be a pure 800V EV / EREV Truck / SUV. The only unanswered question is will they support AA / CP? The EV Scout Truck / SUV will have a minimum of 300 miles of range on a charge and the EREV will have 500 plus. So many of my coworkers have already placed deposits for the EREV model. Yet with that said, my wife and I are past the point of camping on the ground, in a tent, etc. We love the outdoors, but would rather stay in a hotel or book a house for the family and enjoy the outdoors and come back to a hot shower, house to have dinner in, play games with the kids and enjoy a more relaxing setup. As such, my kids and I now plan yearly outings where we book a house and still enjoy hiking, fishing, etc. but on a more luxury level. SCOUT Options Scout Motors
