2020 Ram Heavy Duty: 1000 lb-ft of torque, towing capacity up to 35,100 pounds

I think this is pretty much what anyone would have expected. The 5.7 liter Hemi is dropped and the 6.4 is standard now. The Cummins is offered in two levels of output, and you can no longer get it with a manual. Regular cab, crew cab, and mega cab options. Looks pretty good to me.

So, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is the same sheet metal as the previous gen Ram HD, but with a facelift, new interior, and newish mechanicals...???

I was hoping for a little more grunt for my drywall run to home depot.

The frame is brand new but it does look very similar to the previous model aside from the front end. It definitely doesn't share the 1500's styling in terms of the cab or rear end.

LOL.  The Longhorn Dually with the HO Cummins is for the guy with 6 2000lb percherons, a large horse trailer with living quarters in the front, and who travels from horse show to horse show.

It's a beautiful truck, but with that interior, I suspect it'll cost $65 - $70 000 CAD.

The Power Wagon is actually my dream truck, but it's a little out of my price range.

My Tundra is #2 on my Dream Truck list, but at $20k less than a current gen PowerWagon, that pushed it to the number 1 spot for now.

While I do love the idea of having a full size Rubicon, the new Wrangler pickup is the one that is causing me to drool and dream.

Very nice, but no more manual transmission.

You must be going crazy...this will easily push into the 90s territory. 70s is where the top of line light duty trucks are pushing these days!

I'm talking about the Power wagon.  Current model is priced in the sixties.

You're thinking of the Limited/Longhorn Dually with the 6.7 Cummins, that truck will for sure push into the nineties.
