The Hood needs to be available as a Mopar accessory. I want it for whatever truck I end up buying.
Imagine a Limited with that hood, painted bumpers, and a 426 engine. I really think their higher end luxury trucks need the option for a 426 too, at some point.

These trucks are the easiest to tell apart since 1994. Everyone started to copy Dodge, but Ram gets it for looking like the others. Obviously some regulation came, or aerodynamic finding that the headlights had to go up.

These trucks have their make plastered on them. And even debaged the headlights, taillights, windows,bed sides,and yes, the front fenders tell them apart immediately.

Ram and Dodge always rock SEMA. And Jeep is a big winner already. Mopar rules the show circuits in my opinion...and yes it is biased, but I try to like the other stuff.

The light bar and the RamRack can not make it to market soon enough. The hood is the best Ram hood yet. I hope someone makes these for the 2nd and 3rd Gen also...and 4th Gen.

Saying the DT looks like a Tundra makes as much sense as saying the Wrangler looks like a Fiat 500 because they both have round headlights.

Dream truck for me right there. I agree the top trims should get the option of the 426 when it does show up to go against GMs 6.2 and the 3.5 HO EcoBoost.

I was hoping to see a crosshair grille at SEMA for the DT :)

I honestly think if the 1500 Badge wasn't on the hood, more people would love the Ram 1500 (DT).

They need to do what they did on this hoodfor the Rebel or howthey did it on the Macho Powerwagon.

I agree completely. My wife said she isn't a fan of the new grille, except the Rebel, but she does not like the hood badge at all

My dream truck still isn’t made. I’ll have to make it.

Basically a LRET clone, or as close as I can get, using a short wheelbase Gen2 Dakota (reg cab, short bed) as the base, with a junkyard sourced rebuilt 5.7/6.1/6.4, hopefully with a manual-6 attached. Then attach some kind of forced induction.
