Two , in this video, they say Dodge has 23% of the HD market in 2008, and 23.8% in 2009. They also state that they plan to price the trucks aggresively in the market.

Thanks for the video links, ib. Yes, they have done a great job with the 2010 HD Rams, but there are two things they didn't address: a 6 speed automatic with properly spaced gear ratios behind the Hemi and manual locking hubs on the 4x4. Don

Agreed the Hemi needs a 6 speed behind it to remain competitive, despite all the power it makes.
The manual locking hubs would be nice in certain situations, but a pain in others IMO.

I was told they were killing the MegaCab... Suprised to see it. I personally don't like the fenders on the 3500 Duel but perhaps in person it would show better. The other thing I don't care for much is the half chrome towing mirrors. I think the chrome looks like an after thought, I was hoping they would change the mirror style as well make them power extendable.
I'm almost afraid to goto the dealer to look.. Things like that tend to cost me money.
As a side note, I often forget to pass on this tip so I will here before I forget. Anyone that has a newer, perhaps even older cummins. If you ask the service guys nice they can enable the idle up feature on the computer with a couple clicks. I had them do it on my 06 2500. It's a nice feature at times, using the cruise control to idle the engine up when you're parked.

Yup, I have the manual high idle enabled on my truck (using cruise control buttons). The newer ones have the automatic fast idle enabled from the factory, the 2nd gen (1998.5 - 2002) didn't. I got the auto fast idle and 3 cyl idle enabled on my 2002 as well when I owned it.

Great looking trucks, the improvement from the previous model is outstanding. Dodge(Ram?) designers need a pat on the back just for the interior, no more slabs of hard plastic mouldings.

Great truck, too bad their marketing looks like it was done by a high school AV drop out.

That dually looks awesome, it would be tops on my list if I was in the market.
It's nice to see that the interiors have been improved (visually at least).
