So the grandson and I stopped in at our Dealership where I do business to see what they had on the lot for 2013's. He is a huge fan of the Ram and also any Dodge car. So we checked out the dozen or so 13's they had and saw nothing but the Hemi's on the lot. They had several 2500's and the rest were various 1500's. I did not see anything really new except some of the interior features like the raised center consoles in the higher end ones and the new headlight/foglight setups. I did not see any of the new engine/trans combos. I also did not see any dash dial shift in any of them. This must be reserved for the new v6/8 speed tranny combos? At any rate, they look nice what I saw on the lot. I did not have my camera with me or I would have grabbed a few shots. I may make that a priority next weekend. :) Will keep you posted :)

Paint looks about the same. I do see a couple colors that were not on the lot prior to the 2013's appearance. I will take a closer look at the paint later this week and let ya know Asur, mad rain this week cause of the storm. Will also be asking when they expect to get the new 6s in too so I can check under the hood :)

Thank god on the dial shifter knobs.... Fiat can keep those lame arse knobs. Trucks should T handle console shifters period. The 8 speed does not appeal to me either.. I get tired of my 6 speed constantly changing gears.. ok I am done griping. I need to go check them out for myself.

OK looked at the paint yesterday and honestly I don't see any thing better or worse than the 12s. I did not see alot of orange peel or blems on the paint, but then again they have them shined up real nice so they appeal to the people that are looking at the 12s too. The 12s are going out the door cheap here in Maine right now. I talked to a guy on the lot and he was closing the deal on an Express QC hemi 5.7 with Trailer Brake, and a few other extras for 21,730 out the door. That is a GOOD deal friends. I personally would take that over the 13s any day if I was in the market myself. They still dont have any of the 6s w/8 speed on the lot. Also no knob shifters yet either. I will keep you posted on when the newest innovations show up. Also the ones on the lot do not have the air suspension on them. I am guessing Ram has not turned out enough of those to make it to New England yet. :)
Only real changes I see is the projection lighting and turned up the fogs, interior stuff like console ridged up looks real nice. I will take my camera over and grab a few shots soon. Been pretty busy here so may take some time, Sis in Law diagnosed w/cancer and we have her 3 kids (3, 4, and 12) Uncle always steps up for the kids. Never thought I would be raising little ones again, cutting into my nap time ..LMAO.

Forgot to mention, I talked to my friend in sales and he said that he could put me into a 2012 with more options than mine and payment would only be 90 more a month, but man my wife would kill me if I trade again..LMAO..She was not happy about trading the 2010 2500 CC down to a 1500 QC until she saw the mileage dif, but with 17k miles on it I am soooo tempted. I bet if i traded to a CC she would go for it. :)
