Looks great! Definitely a "long haul" truck that looks quite comfortable on long trips.

Is it from RAM (FCA) or an aftermarket company? Wondering because I think hood ornaments were, I think, not to be used by DOT standards (FMVSS pedestrian collision safety).

Taking something new and unattractive and trying to make it look good by bolting on a few retro geegaws... It's been done before.

It is so dang big that a pedestrian would never make it up that high when you run em over... maybe a thick layer of foam padding underneath would be more important than not having a hood ornament?

OH Look, they put a Ram head hood ornament on a Ford pickup.

Hard to get excited about anything they are calling a Mopar these days.
I don't foresee anything new in my future as far as vehicles are concerned.
Pictured is my new truck.

They need to retro the whole truck not just a hood ornament! And my 1978 didn't come with any, They started that in the 80's. Guess 80's is now retro?

Ugly grille. Looks too much like a ford grille. Not a fan of the hood ornament either..

Don't like the grille. The wheels look alright.
Even tho it was only a paint job and rims the retro truck GM did a couple years ago looked better. I saw one infront of the GM dealer here while driving by and it got my attention. I wouldn't notice that Ram.

Diesel, last I knew that's the only way to get a gear shifter on a Dodge (Ram) truck. Helluva price to pay.

That red car is an NSU, not a BMW. Both 3 letter brands and German, though
