2009 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie: First Drive
The folks at Chrysler have been making a lot of waves on the sea of trucks with their non-traditional approach to the 2009 Dodge Ram 1500. Instead of leaving well-enough alone, for 2009 Dodge has re-done quite a bit — revamping the rear end with coil (rather than leaf) springs, rethought what a truck bed could do with the Rambox storage system and restyled the interior. Aside from the newly reskinned body, it's largely these three features which Chrysler hopes will differentiate the new Ram from its full-size truck competition, but as we all know, a truck is more than just the sum of its parts.

2009 Dodge Ram, Reviewed

Detroit Auto Show: Mooo, Cow!
Despite our reveal a few days back — Dodge's now ready to officially reveal the new 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 in a few minutes and we're here live. As we've told you before, the new Ram will be revealed in a few moments amid a stampede of rampaging Texas longhorn steer — as seen above in their holding pen on Congress down the street from Cobo. And by stampede we mean it'll probably be the 125 of them docilely meandering up Congress Ave, around the corner and up toward the press risers set up here in front of the hall. But — think of how much fun it'd be if a few of them went a bit astray? And did we mention the press risers are bright red? Oh, the potential humanity. In the meantime we're going to listen to CEO Bob "The Builder" Nardelli — we wonder if we'll see him and Jim Press give each other a bit of a hug. We hear some think they won't.
