They also have a new Titan-esque cargo management system available with moveable tie downs in the bed side walls. Great system and incredibly overbuilt(the tie downs are as big as the cleats on a 30' boat), the highly-touted Titan setup hardware is hardly any beefier then what you find on a minivan cargo rack. It also does not interfere with the bed floor in any way. Pretty cool.

I hope and assume the new F-150 will have a similar system to go along w/ the tailgate step, post-cabin pre-rear wheel step, and other new features.

I'm a little surprised that no one mentioned this, as this is the first thing that came to my head when looking at the Ram picture.

Swept headlamps (albeit in a different location on the fender and sweep down vs. up), bottom-heavy trapezoid grille, straight-across lower bumper.

 

What I don't get with the Ram (if, as Jalopnik is saying, it is true) is what's up with the very femine front fender line gracefully sweeping downward into the door panel?

I didn't even think about the relation to the Tundra.

The Dodge doesn't look like a bloated frog like the Tundra does...

I'd have to say that, if this is really the new Dodge design, they have made some concessions to aerodynamics. They've rounded off the corners just a touch, and it seems that the nose is a little cleaner from an airflow perspective. I believe that they are trying to boost their highway fuel economy numbers a bit. I'd be interested in seeing a cd comparisson between the previous generation and this newer one.
