Spied: 2020 Ram HD, Your Conservative Alternative to GM Design Experiments

The Ford Super Duty line grew fairly grotesque in its latest iteration, and yesterday’s reveal of the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD turned some people’s hair white with fright. I’ll admit the Chevy’s design works (looks better than the Silverado 1500, IMHO), but it’s jarring nonetheless.

With so much styling excess on hand, this writer often calls up images of the current, aging Ram 2500 and 3500 and breathes a sigh of relief. Soothing nerves since 2010, the Ram HD is. As Fiat Chrysler has now worked out the production bugs plaguing its 2019 Ram 1500, the stage is set for a larger follow-up. Next year brings the first new heavy duty Ram in a decade, and fear was high that FCA might join its Detroit comrades in going way out and wild.

Breathe easy. We’re here with completely uncamouflaged photos of the 2020 Ram HD line to show you there’s nothing to fear.

  • Redapple2 Note to layman. Lifts change the resting angles of suspension components. Then add full length of travel in the duty cycle and now you are repeatedly doing things to the suspension was never design for. Failures are very common and fatal. Do it only if you are stupid.
  • Redapple2 Stampings vs castings>? If you go casting, you ve entered one of the most complex corners of manufacturing. In aluminum? 30 different popular alloys. 8 Core methods. 10 Casting methods. 5+ Heat treat options. Then we can talk about what metal to make the mold out of. The layman has no idea how complicated this gets.
