Part 2 - First Drive Review: 2010 Dodge Ram 3500 Dually Unloaded - PickupTrucks.com

One of the biggest changes for 2010 is the introduction of a new Ram Crew Cab model that replaces the previous, smaller Quad Cab configuration. The Quad Cab was more like an extended cab with two forward opening rear doors. The Ram HD Crew shares all four doors with the light-duty Ram 1500 pickup and the larger Mega Cab model. The Ram Crew Cab’s proportions and interior space are just about ideal for a four-door pickup. Dodge has done an exceptional job styling its HD pickups, particularly the dually trucks. The Ram’s big rig looks have evolved for the fourth time since Dodge designers rewrote the rules of full-size trucks in 1994, when the Ram 1500 was introduced that year. From front to back, there’s a design cohesion that’s missing from the new 2011 Ford Super Duty, which has a powerful new front end but decade-old looks from the A-pillar back. Dodge is now using stamped sheetmetal for the cargo box sides over the rear wheels, like GM’s HD pickups, instead of clip-on plastic covers, like Ford’s Super Duty. Source: news.pickuptrucks.com
