Preview: 2020 RAM HD 2500/3500: Comments

[Drew Dowdell]

Ram released some teaser images on its website yesterday giving us a preview of the 2500HD and 3500HD that are due to be unveiled on Monday at the Detroit Auto Show.  The images look like they are primarily from the top zoot Limited model, but in any case, show an aggressive grille, an attractive set of multibeam headlamps, and a RamBox. They also released a video that gives you some other hints like a column mounted shifter and a large infotainment screen.

 

The RAM press conference is at 9:10 am on Monday, January 14th in the Detroit Cobo Center.

COLUMN SHIFTER!  I love it already!

Column shifter OR pushbuttons- just don't use valuable real estate for a console shifter/ knob.

ALL I've seen of the '19 Ram (1500) is the Limited interior- but the vast bulk of Rams sold are NOT going to be $80K Limiteds. Going to hazard to guess the Trademan interior is a mile & a half away from the Limited.

The idea of a Limited interior in a HD is both ridiculous and pretty cool.

No different than Ford doing the Super Duty Platinum or GMC doing the Sierra HD Denali. There is a market for it..

Yea- same concept, just seems like a 2500-3500 is a dedicated 'work truck', but cross-country hauling is work too. If people can handle $800/mth payments, more power to 'em.

One thing Ram and the other full size truck brands excel at is configurability...lots of options and variations.

Interesting design of the Headlight assembly. I wonder if those 4 Quad LED lights are the daytime or high beam? ?
