Your thoughts....2009 Ram....

[pyrokid]

Just wondering what everyone thinks of the 2009 Ram. Personally, I think it looks like Dodge may have slept with Toyota for the outside, and Ford for the inside. Sure it has some sharp features, cutout for the duel exhaust in the bumper, storage in the side of the box....umm....ya...that's it, but its not looking like a beefy truck! And the interior just looks boring.


Just my thoughts, not looking to start anything, but would like to hear what other think...maybe if they did something cool with the interior, that would help.....

[dmcelhannon]

I'm going to wait and see what they do with the 1/2-ton diesel.

[nosredneh]

I'm not too fond of what they did with the inside but the outside is kind of appealing. The inside does really look like if came from a ford, too luxurious for my taste. I like the new front end with the slight overhang look. It gives it a much more aggressive look than just having the large front end. It reminds me of the front of a ford mustang.

[zacharyzoo]

I like the outside. The storage in the bow is a great idea. I hope they do something with their headlights. A friend just bought a 2008 Sierra and the headlights on it are way better than mine. I think the Sierra's low and hi stay on when in high beam.

[RB24]

i like the interior alot but not the outside so much....glad i got my 07

[duso02]

I like it. I think the looks are a great improvement over the 06-08. The front end is the best look yet in all the new designs (ford, gm, toy) and the overall body changes I think will work well. The interior looks to be the best out there for a truck but until somebody gets their hands on it I don't know how well it will work. The interior is like the ford's (console shifter) but simpler and less "busy". I tend to notice the differences more then the similarities.

[ultimate ram]

Nobody asked us so it seems it doesn't matter if we like it or not, thats what we are getting. I do believe they have done a good job and the Ram should compete well with the competition. As a HD guy seems we have another year to wait & see.

[04Ram2500Hemi]

I'm a 2500 guy, so I'm really curious to see how the 2500/3500's turn out. I understand that there will be some differences from the 1500. All in all though, I like the new body style (not sure if I like it as much as the 3rd Gen body).

[greg_glider]

Overall, I like it. I love the interiour, i think it is a big improvement from previous generations (especially my truck!), and the exteriour looks OK, I am not too fond of it. I do like the side box pockets since you can put crap in them and lock them. I also love the idea of a 1500 diesel that will get 25mpg. I would almost buy one for that reason alone.

Just what I think.

[Albert1500]

whats going to suck tho... is people will pry the ram box open to see what they can jack.. its going to happen... i wouldnt get one with the ram box... cool idea tho

[duso02]

I'll never let the dirtbags influence what I buy. The odds are in my favor that it won't happen, so I would rather have the convenience of the boxes.

For you guys in Houston, hey, I'm sorry but I'd just move!! :D

[Prism]

I like it. I wouldn't mind getting a Sport model but I was really hoping for the 6-speed auto too. It might come a little later.

[bobem12]

I like 'em. Will I buy one...nope (could I...well no, lol) I'm with a couple of the other guys; I'm interested to see what they did with the 2500/3500s.

[Shots]

I'm not too fond of what they did with the inside...........too luxurious for my taste......That's just the Laramie. I looked at a truck, when I bought my '07, that had the center console that split between the seats. I think the option is "bucket seats". Anyway. Even on the '07, the solid console that goes all the way up to the dash, makes it feel crowded, and all the stuff with it seemed pompous. Just get a SLT, SXT, etc for the '09, and the interior will be fine.

As for the look of the '09 Rams. I love it. I joked about it before, but I'm seriously thinking about talking my wife into trading her '03 Dakota for one. IMO, that's the best change since the 2nd gen came out. Not that I dislike the look of the 3rd gen, I'm just saying I like the look of the '09 even more.

[vipernot4sale]

i hope they will still offer the sxt.

[osprey]

I think this is one of the best looking new trucks I have seen in a very long time.

Now, let's hope they fixed the dash cracking problem.

[Dodge_Tomahawk]

too luxurious

Comin from the Spartin plastic barrel interiors of the 02-05...i dont understand..lol..better accomodations for the same or lower price than the 08s in the same class category. :gr_patrio

[desync0]

I voted love it... BUT only with the sport package. Looks 100% better then the 2 tone/chrome.

http://www.allpar.com/model/ram/2009-ram.html

The blue one on all par's site.

[Shots]

Man you guys are killing me. That thing is awsome!!!!! I wish I had know they were going to look so good. I wouldn't have traded my '05, on a '07. I would have waited for the '09. Oh well, now I guess my wife will have to upgrade to a full size truck. :)

[vipernot4sale]

yea it does look a hell of alot better then the current gen..the boys over at tundra forum are already saying the new hemi will fall flat on its ass against the tundra and the truck not even out yet what load of crap..

[mojoman]

I think that it's okay but I don't think that I like the storage on the side of the bed. I guess that I don't have to get one so oh well. It probadly have to grow on me like anything else.

[duso02]

yea it does look a hell of alot better then the current gen..the boys over at tundra forum are already saying the new hemi will fall flat on its ass against the tundra and the truck not even out yet what load of crap..
Excellent set of comparison photos. I see a great evolution of the third gen right there. Except of course the 3rd gen truck seems to be a right hand drive. Needed to reverse the photos eh? LOL...no matter..it worked fine for the comparison.

[dmcelhannon]

He most likely turned the photo over so the nose of the truck was pointing the same direction.

[dodge_ss/t]

i think is a nice street queen but ill take a 2nd generation any day over the new rams. the pics that vipernot4sale posted do make the new ram look better then the 3rd generation though. i guess i just dont like how the new ones look so ford'ish. same with the new chevys too.

[vipernot4sale]

mabey its ahead of its time in stying??

[dodgefan360]

Once the new '09 F150 bows the '09 dodge's styling won't be too controversial then. Dodge says that it has the best coefficient of drag among full sizers. I'd stick with the current gen if I got a ram. Not to start anything but I'd rather get a GMC Sierra as a general work truck.

[vipernot4sale]

lol damn.....

[lsubadazz]

yea it looks great. cant wait until they hit the stores

[Albert1500]

damit, i want news on other model trucks already!... :SNO:

[cc1999]

I like the new crew cabs a lot. I am not wild about the 09 QC at all, the proportions just seem out of wack. I would really like to see more pics of the Regular cabs, long or short box models. All I have seen is the few pics taken outside Cobo hall, they were pics of a black reg cab long bed. I am suprised the black truck didn't show up at some other shows and more pics make it to the net. I have yet to see any interior shots of that truck.

Overall I really like what they did with the interior. The outside, I like the 09' CC and the RC but not the QC. In general, I like the GEN 1s exterior looks the best, then the GEN 2 up through 05 is a tossup for 2nd best with the 09', even though I have an 08 QC I still don't like the headlights or the tail lights in the GEN 3 06-08'.

Am with you on the reg cab i would love to see a black swb :rck:

[jmekeel]

Hopefully the quad cab is as large as the mega is/was. I think the storage boxes are a good idea but I think it will be the main point for rust to start. Chevy was the only one to build storage in a location that would not rust, in the plastic cladding on the Avalanche. Also, I hoping they offer the 6.1 Hemi as an option, Toyota still wins the HP war amongst the big three.

[04Ram2500Hemi]

When I first saw the new body style I kind of liked it. Now, I'm not so sure. I think I'll need to see it in person to be sure. Plus, I'm curious how the 2500/3500's turn out.

[allhemi]

damit, i want news on other model trucks already!... :SNO:


You and me both!!! I want to see a reg,cab short bed......And how about the R/T?? There has been no news out of the new york show.......

[vipernot4sale]

i wanna see a r/t vs a 5.7 tundra.

[bucci]

The bed rails look pretty wide on the trucks with the bed boxes. Does anyone know how much that takes away from the inside width of the bed?

Are the wheel wells showing inside the bed or is the inner wall of the bed boxes flush with the wheel wells? Is the inside width of the bed approximately only 50" the entire length and no wheel wells showing?

[TheBossHEMI]

The inside of the bed with the rail box's (an option only, I've heard it's not going to be a "standard" item, not even on the Laramie, just an option) does not show the wheel well's at all. Yet I was told by a Dodge rep at the Chicago auto show that they specifically kept in mind one that would carry 4'x8' sheets of... well whatever you wanted. Therefore the width between is just over 4' so that problem won't be an issue.

[DodgeDNA]

i love it. it will look alot better in person. they did alot better job on it then the ford boys did on their pickup. gilles is a genius. seems like they took my wish list and fulfilled all my wishes. the vented seats, leather dashboard, better gauge setup, aerodynamics, and way better ride. the towing wont matter. because when it comes down to it. when u do carry a max wieght trailer or whatever, your going to get at the tops 8 miles to the gallon. my brother owns the new tundra and boy is it a gas hog when it does come down to pulling its max tow. the people that need a hauler should realize 1500's are not the way to go. the new dodge will outsell the silvrado, mark my words.

[Dodge_Tomahawk]

wanna see a r/t vs a 5.7 tundra.

What is 0-60 in an enhanced oem 6.1 or 6.4 is my riddle. :D

And how about the R/T?? There has been no news out of the new york show..

Patience...before this fall and after this spring.

[DodgeDNA]

i just hope they make a diesel for the upcoming Powerwagon. i love the hemi, but the gas prices are entering my ass and it hurts. i have an 06 Powerwagon and im getting 10 mpg in city and 14 highway. and when i haul it gets 8mpg. cant wait for the hemi hybrid to come out thou. i hope it has the same hp and torque then the new 5.7 liter coming out in 09.

[moparedtn]

I love the new design, in and out.
I don't have any problem seeing the Dodge in it at all.
I don't see other makes in the design; it's readily apparent it's a Dodge.

Yes, I'll be having me one. I love my current Ram, but 5 years is about right
for trade-in time.

[DodgeDNA]

I love it. It will look lot better in person. Gilles is a genius. Seems like he took my wish list and fulfilled my wishes. Way better interior, new gauges, smoother ride, more storage, aerodynamics, better horsepower and torque. WOW!!! I can't wait till the 2010 PowerWagon arrives. Hope they make one in a diesel.

[Albert1500]

WTF is dodge wating for!!! we NEED new info on new models... like last week!

thanks :)

[srtdodge05]

Yesterday became a very good day for me when i got to ride in the new 2009 ram. My dads friend stopped by on his way home from the jeep office with a 2009 ram. Reg cab, short box, 4x4, black sport with no dodge badges on it with the 20in rims and the new hemi. I wanted to take some pictures of it but he said i couldnt. He did the samething to me when the new ram cameout in 2002.

:whackit:

[frostbitte]

I like it and I think it's a step up from the old RAM in a lot of ways.
I pretty much like everything except the following.

Using the old 5 speed tranny and the towing and payload specs. I think they have a winner hands down in all categories except these two. I know the old 5 speed is tried, tested, and true, but I really would have liked to have seen a true 5 speed tranny (not geared like a 4 speed) or a 6 speed. And only a slight increase in the towing and payload categories. Dodge is right by not competing with stupidly high towing numbers for a half ton but I would have expected them to increase it slightly...

Right now, my 5.7L Quad Cab 4x2 can tow 8750lbs and have a payload of 1620 lbs. I would have loved to see those increased to about 9200-9500 lbs and 2000 lbs respectively. I doubt I would ever try to tow that much on a regular basis but it would make me more comfortable towing some of the "half-ton towable" 5th-wheels I'm looking at buying. Some of the pin weights and fully loaded weights on those trailers almost pushes them beyond my specs.

Is there any reason that Dodge couldn't with some modifications just use their current heavy duty 6 speed for all model trucks, diesel or gas? Just wondering. I'm sure it would save a ton of money on their end only having one decent transmission.

Ok, so you couldn't sneak pics, we'll hate you for that later... (just kidding :D ) ...but is that all yer gonna tell us about yer riding experience in the '09??? C'mon now! How was it??

[srtdodge05]

It ride's way better then the 2003 ram my dad had no question about that. The new 380hp hemi rocks :rck:, If you think the current hemi is fast wait until you drive the new one. The interior was real nice and the seats felt real good. Took it on the highway for a few miles and its very quiet compared to the current model. Overall dodge did a very good job on the truck and hope it brings in the business for them.

[DodgeDNA]

Dude, don't lie. this is Dodge Talk. Not Ford Chat. Who's you dad? He better work for Chrysler.

[srtdodge05]

He does work for chrysler and so does most of my family. Oh and screw ford.

[DodgeDNA]

Calm Down leiutenant Dan. I dont like people who Fail On Repeated Days (FORD) either. So what was the trim level you and your dad drove? And if you have so much inside. Ask your dad if there coming out with a diesel in the PowerWagon.

[srtdodge05]

Sport trim level interior was very nice with cloth seats. My dad doesnt have anything to do with the cars. Its my uncle and cousin that are the head engineers on the truck and srt design team.

are they going to be a srt i was told they was not one in the pipeline.

[srtdodge05]

As of righ now no, srt-10 ram didnt sell good as they hopped. With the ram R/T its going to be the closest thing.

[TheBossHEMI]

Ask your dad if there coming out with a diesel in the PowerWagon.

They already are. The 4th gen 2500 won't be released till later if that's what yer asking.

[srtdodge05]

They already are. The 4th gen 2500 won't be released till later if that's what yer asking.
They currently dont offer a diesel in the current power wagon only the 5.7 hemi. I dont even know if they are going to make a power wagon for the 2010's.

[TheBossHEMI]

My fault... I just remembered seeing a pic of a Power Wagon with below saying "Available 5.7L HEMI® V8 engine with 345 hp, or available 6.7L Cummins® Turbo diesel for even more power." But I guess that's just the 2500 in general.

[ham]

Reg cab, short box, 4x4, black sport with no dodge badges on it with the 20in rims and the new hemi.


So what I want to know did Dodge keep that nice bit of room behind the seats in the Reg. Cab? To me that is one of their best selling points and I make good use of it.

[TEX RAM]

Oh my God it's a Ford! Run away!

[ham]

Hey SRT what did it look like behind the seat...any change...this is improtant to me whether to get an '08 with the huge discounts or opt for the '09. Somebody out there has to know.

[srtdodge05]

I really didnt look behind the seat but it looks to be setup the same as the current trucks.

[ham]

Thank you. That helps me a bunch.

[vipernot4sale]

dont look like theres much room in the new reg cabs??but i could be wrong.

[DodgeDNA]

Go for the 09. They really upgraded the Laramie. Remember the Hemi has more power, more torque, with better gas mileage. So you save money in gas plus look better doing it. They both tow the same but the 09 will has a more comfortable ride. From what i heard it will still have the lifetime warranty. I'm going to see if the PowerWagon will be offered in a Diesel. I have an 06. I promise you there is nothing better..... The winch, Hahahahaha, we and a bunch of friends have a bunch of memories. Got me and everyone else out of a few situations. The sway bar disconnect makes the rocky mountains not feel so rocky. And with the rear Five-link suspension, boy i cant wait. But thats if they come in a diesel. The down fall about the PowerWagon is the gas mileage. It's based on the 2500 so it's heavy, worst enemy for a gas engine when it comes to gas milage. I get 10-15. In 07 they came out with a 5-speed but that didn't help much. I have a 4. Help out future sells, by getting something way better. Leave the 08 behind. Remember, "ITS A NEW DAY".

[TheBossHEMI]

Behind which seat in which cab? The reg. cab?

[ham]

Yes the Reg Cab. Right now Dodge has it all over the other guys and nearly everyone I know that drives a Reg Dodge chose it for that room behind the seat...you can actually carry a little luggage, tools, coats etc, where as the others, other than the Toyota, you are pretty much stuck.

[jordan21210]

i like it a lot, especially the interior...looks awesome

[vipernot4sale]

damn am dying to see the reg cab swb

[JRH_PWRWAGON_06]

Reverse sloping grill reminds me of old Jeep pickups.
Interior looks like a F150.

[MADBRAD]

I like the looks of the truck inside and out went to Denver new car show a few weeks ago but the new bodied ram was not there very dissapointing.

[DodgeDNA]

Just found out that the PowerWagon will be available in a 6.7 L Cummins. For the 2009 and the 2010 model year. The winch will be exposed more. Looks like they just cut a square box in the center of the bumper. 6.7 L is to big for the winch to hide behind It.

I'd like to know this too

[DodgeDNA]

Go to autoblog.com. It's like the tenth page down. Chrysler is also going to make a Rubicon with a 6.1L Hemi. This all starts with the 09 models. It's under Mopar's Toybox.

We dont even know if there will be a powerwagon if there is it wont be out untill 2010 since thats when the heavy duty trucks will be out.

[DodgeDNA]

Yup, thats the one 04dodge2500hemi. And yes there will be a PowerWagon for the 2010. They wouldn't be testing a Cummins PowerWagon if there was not going to be one in 2010. I have an 06. They've been out srtdodge05. Where have you been? You should have dodge blood running down your vains if you chit-chat on this site.

[DodgeDNA]

Sorry about that. My bad.

[04Ram2500Hemi]

Sorry about that. My bad.

No worries. I hope your right and they do continue to make the Power Wagon, especially with a CTD. I would have to look close at a truck like that.

[srtdodge05]

I know the powerwagon is out i drove one but they only offer it with a hemi.

[DodgeDNA]

That is the down fall. Like i wrote on the thread in the 4x4 department. Why would they cut a truck that they basically build anyways.
Speaking about the Ram. Thous A__holes at TruckTrend always seem to have no respect for Dodge. I had just bought the new mag they came out with. All they talk about is the obvious. No opinion, no nothin. Three paragraphes of nothing. I remember like 3 years ago they had a competition on who had the best off-road pickup. They included everyone but the PowerWagon. The Nissan NO FEAR edition got first place. Bull__it. They would rather make room for the sponsors then what they base their magazine on. Oh, and they gave the Toyota the truck of the year. The same truck Chevy beat last year. If nothing changes, shouldn't the result stay the same?

[vipernot4sale]

idk where the fruity f#@ks got the tundra looks like the new ram.t.t sucks balls..

[DodgeDNA]

Don't you think the new Rams body style like the Dodge Ram SRT10? Look at the bumper and how the truck looks from behind. Its look like the same body kit.

[MVwrestler01]

On the home page of dodge talk, theres an advertisement for the 2009 Ram. theres a blue one in the front, and a tannish one in the back with a side view. Is anyone else seeing a tannish F-150 instead of a dodge 1500 in the back?

I think its the two tone sides and wheel wells that are making it look like it to me. reminds me of a lariat

[DodgeDNA]

Nope, all Dodge Ram.

[cc1999]

There has been several mentioned how the painted fender brows on the new 2 tone Rams are similar to the way ford also uses painted fender brows on there 2 tones. However when 2 tones were all rage back in the 80s Ford and GM both had two tones down the certer of the sides of the trucks. To me, that didn't really make me mistake a Ford for a Chevy, or a chevy for a FORD. Same deal now, I am not really seeing a ford when I look at the new dodges, just a nice looking dodge with a 2 tone paint job to me anyway.

[JohnMcD348]

I voted Meh!.

I'm not sure about it yet. I'm a new MegaCab owner and the only reason I bought the MegaCab this year is becuase they were shortening it to creat the Crew Cab next year. I wanted the room and interior and wasn't willing to give that up. The Mega has enough room for my 6'2" frame to fit comfrotably behind the wheel and behind the drivers seat without having to set things to the max. If the possibillity that the CrewCab had the same general roominess as the MegaCab, I would ahve waited until next year to buy.

[Bobram]

Its ok I guess, but I prefer the sleek look like the Gen II rams.

[smity2]

I like it but I think they should have taken a few more "chances" on the exterior design like they did in 94. That bold move put Dodge trucks on the map, and it seems as if they forgot that.

[Bobram]

I like it but I think they should have taken a few more "chances" on the exterior design like they did in 94. That bold move put Dodge trucks on the map, and it seems as if they forgot that.
And thats why I own one. From the minute they produced the bold new look I was on a quest to have one. 7 years later my dream came true!

[Sinister1JP]

My favorite Ram is the '07, that's why I bought one....the exterior of the '09 is growing on me (honestly,I wasn't a huge fan at first) and I would have to go with a sport that two tone is killing me. I hate to admit it but I have ridden in a few newer model F-150's and with the interior of the '09, Dodge has taken a page from Ford. Now if the local dealership gave me the keys to an '09 in my color...I would def. take it!

[cmns2500]

i like the 1/2 ton, but, love the HD's:cheerl:

also, the 2nd gen is still the best of the body styles:imo

[mydak]

Okay, first let me say that I love the looks of the 09. I do wish they would have kept the electric bluw color from last year though.

Is it just me or did they take a cue from the new mustang (forward leaning headlights, dual exhaust molded into the bottom of the rear bumper)? I think it is a good look, just a very evident styling rip off.

AGAIN, I LIKE THE LOOK, not trying to start anything (As a matter of fact my sport QC should be here Monday). No electric blue so I went with sunburst orange.

[Heminut]

Had a new Tonneau installed and ordered vent visors.Also have tickled the loud pedal enuff to know,the 390 HP is pretty awsum.I love the interior and the 10 way power seat fits me like a glove.The free Sirrus radio is very nice and the 9 speaker Alpine system is great. I was an QA Engineer for 42 years and I pay great attention to fit and finish + crawlin under and making sure everything is up to snuff. So far the only complaint I have is the MPG..its 15.5 - 17 on cruise,but when I slap stick the gear lever from 1 thru 5 then D it really sucks up the fuel,but after all its an almost 6000 lb truck with 390 HP and the Hemi gets it done my friends. I waffled as I wanted an Challenger,but,even being 68 years old,I still manage a few speedin tickets a year despite radar detectors and a fine tuned brain after alluding most cops for 53 years.I loved my 62 383 343 HP Polaris500,my 67 GTX,my 70 6 pack, my 240 Z's and several Porsches and many drag cars thru all these years,but,I have to hand it to the design Engineers as this truck meets or exceeds my expectations. Thanks Detriot keep around,obama cant get us all !

Love the look now, took a little while to get use to for whatever reason. Storage options are sweet just everywhere you can store something. Plan on test driving this week sometime before i do a purchase later in the month

[Heminut]

I may be able to get you a great deal. Let me know.I help sell a lot of Mopars,I have maybe 20 years at best and Im going to repay Ma Mopar all I can for all the great times Ive spent in her iron !

[HEMI Rocket]

I test drove one today.It rides so much better than my 06 its not funny.It was a Larimie 41K,they wanted to give me 7500 for my 06.I got 17K for a 3 year old toyota,I guss I need another toyota.They came down to my deal,but for 6 years,I said 5 we will do it.

[Heminut]

I traded my 02 Dakota 4.7 club cab with 90K on the clock.They paid off my $4k loan,took 10K off the $42k 09 and got me 5% loan for 72 months.One thing,this was an demonstrator with 5800 miles,but,its so new and slick...I just melted! Any idea how I get to ask about an anomally in reguards to MPG readout ? I left my 09 idle for about 10 min getting things to go.When I glanced down 7.7 MPG ! Then as i travelled about 90 miles,it never went over 14.5.I admit,Im climbing steep hills(around 1200 ft high) and I use the loud pedal to pass several roadtoads.Then I stopped and filled up 15 gal of 89 Octane as i had been using 87 because all my hemi owner friends said its a waste.The next 7 miles home,with the cruise set at 62,the mileage keep clicking up all the way to 19MPG ! I called my pal and he says his 06 hemi 2500 has done that,then dropped back to around 15 ?Any ideas ?

I love the 4th Gen models!! They are sweet looking, I test drove a laramie model before I left to Kuwait and I have to admit, it was a bad idea. It's been 3 months so far here in Kuwait and I still want that truck!

3 months to go and I will be looking into my new Ram, hopefully they still have great deals out there! Looking into purchasing one in Dallas!

Any idea what dealership in Dallas has great deals by Aug 09 time frame???

AIR_RAM (Nick) lives in the Dallas area. He's currently playing in the sand-box but he keeps up todate with us here. Drop him a PM; I'm sure he loved to hear from you.

I appreciate that, thank you sir! ;)

and had a new Ram all setup,what a neat way to break it in driving to Texas from here. Only takes about 20 hours.I have made it from here to Houston several times and ave. is 20. I can set you up as i have a super dealer,but,if you insist on Dallas,I may have a way to help there too. Only thing is,I have an operation pending,but I should be 100% back by june. I am ex-Navy 58-62 and was in Cuban missle mess. What ever you decide,those 390 HP hemis are the tits.Even my little ole wife loves to kick it down a gear or 2 and hammer it.Stay safe. heminut

I just picked up a SLT 1500 Crew with Hemi, 20" wheels and center console for $26,500 at Dallas Dodge. I got the Invoice from them when I was doing the financing at my credit union and noticed they sold it to me for about $3000 under invoice. :rck:

[Heminut]

almost any new or used car/trucks especially Mopars.This dealer has been doing super deals for years.Every single person that works there has an proffesional attitude. Besides,once you buy one,any dealer can service or perform "action" items.The last thing Chrysler is going to do now is let someone have a bad deal.I still cant believe my truck..I absolutely LOVE it !Let me know if yer interested in a new or used unit.Dealers such as this are rare as an honest polotico these days !

[Alaskaramhemi]

i personally think the only flaw with the 09's is that gay ass center console that thing straight up sucks ass

[1MIKE1]

i love the center console, more so for having the shifter there though.

[mydak]

LOOOOOOOOOve my center console. One of the main reasons I bought the Sport (that and the color matched bumpers).

I guess its a good thing that you can option for the bench seat and therefor no center console.

[Doc Fluty]

me too.. one of the main reason i bought the laramie was the center console with matching chrome trim

[King]

We love them so much we have 2 :D

[mopowar]

The center console is sweet. Maybe the pictures don't do it justice????
I spent ~$250.00 and a Staurday putting a B&M floor shifter in my 2000 Ram

[BoricuaEvo]

I do like the center console, I test drove a Laramie with one and it was nice, I also test drove one without it and I have to say it is not bad...:SPIN:

[Doc Fluty]

i just dont like that big empty space... and besides... who do i want sitting that close to me? my wfe? ha!

[BoricuaEvo]

:stu: <-- LOL I always wanted to use this one...

[cicdude]

I keep my center armrest folded down 95% of the time. When I need room for a 6th person, I fold it up and off we go.
