A truck is the epitome of hard work. A sports car is about moving through the air with ease. Our goal was to do both in one vehicle: capability and aerodynamics. Learn how RAM Engineers have enhanced how the New 2013 Ram 1500 flows through the air.

About the 2013 Ram 1500
Ram 1500 – the most recognizable pickup on the road – delivers best-in-class fuel economy with a truckload of pioneering, fuel-saving systems including a more fuel efficient and more powerful 3.6-liter V-6 engine and first-in-segment technologies: eight-speed automatic transmission, stop-start system, thermal management system, pulse-width modulation and active aerodynamics, including grille shutters and air suspension.

“The new 2013 Ram 1500 is the most capable, best-looking half-ton pickup in the world and delivers best-in-class fuel efficiency, new technology and new features while upgrading the interior and exterior,” said Fred Diaz, President and CEO of Ram Truck Brand and Chrysler de Mexico — Chrysler Group LLC. “We changed every area of the truck – from a newly designed frame with air suspension, to a new eight-speed transmission to a new interior with the next-generation Uconnect® system.

“With best-in-class towing and payload, best-in-class ride and handling and best-in-class aerodynamics, the 2013 Ram 1500 delivers unmatched content, performance and capability to our customers,” Diaz added.

I have to agree with Gix. The front scares me. The rest of the truck however, is Dodge Ram awesomeness.beer

I think what is happening, is that everyone else gets out of the way, creating a smoother airstream, with fewer eddie currents......because of it's ugly face.


I kid, I kid.

The only real difference in styling is the headlights..... I dont understand why people dont like this or the 2013 F150, the projectors look awesome,

Different? yes, but still awesome

I don't know, I like the front end other than the chroming of the entire grill. Black out the mesh (or a different look to that area alltogether), and you might have it.

It is a good looking truck, no doubt.
