Guess which group is buying more trucks...

I drove a 2012 for a week while they were getting my 2500 ready; (I bought a 2010 2500). The 1500 was nice with the 5.7 amd it did have nice get up and go but it was still little league compared to the 2500 with the 6.7 diesel. If I was in the market for a 1/2 ton truck I would take another look.

Here's some facts about the coil spring suspension... Maybe the airbags will improve the coil spring shortcomings.
Hopefully RAM has fixed the cracks in the dashboards as another upgrade.

I like the rotary knob for the transmission instead of a column shifter. Once you select drive, you can use the up and down buttons on the steering wheel to shift- Cool.

Jaguar and Land Rover have been using a knob for some time. Makes a lot of sense to me. A shift lever just takes up space no matter where you put it, gets in the way and is unnecessary in a time where steering wheel mounted shifters are so common.
