Detroit News: Ram pickups show big improvements

Posted on Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009 at 4:50 PM EST.

The Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups are all business, serious business, The Detroit News columnist wrote. They are the pair of vehicles that feel more like trucks and less like pickups, he said.

But for the 2010 model year, these big rigs—in all five trim levels—finally offer interiors and exteriors that are executive worthy, though the truck has blue collar roots, columnist Scott Burgess said. But now architects can finally arrive on job sites in the same vehicle the crews they hire use, he added.

Following the successful launch of the 2009 Dodge Ram 1500, it was only a matter of time before the brand’s heavy-duty trucks adopted the same looks, which are stunningly better, Burgess said. Fortunately for Dodge, that time came sooner, he added

These trucks look great, he wrote. The big front grille is canted to make the top stick out a little farther than the bottom. It’s a bull ready to charge, Burgess said.

Despite what you may have heard, in the pickup world, size matters, he wrote. And these new Rams are big enough to hang with even the biggest competition, the story said. (The Detroit News)
