We'll I like the overall looks except a couple of small things. I think
the front should have been a little more bold like the ram. It has the
big truck look but it's toned down compared to what the ram is. I would
say the headlights and bumper would need a little tweaking to do that.
It's still nice looking but I am too used to the way the ram looks now.
The only other thing, without seeing the interior, is the tailights.
they are no horrible but I am not too into that funky look. Maybe if
they would have bulged them and made the back flow back in instead of
ending in the two round things. I dunno, I would still consider it if
buying but not until the Hemi is offered in it. Actually would prefer a
good diesel but that is a wish list at this point. It is still a very
nice looking truck, though.
