Don’t forget about Ram! Will the Ram get new models like the rest of Chrysler’s products?
In the past week, Chrysler has released information on special edition Jeeps, Dodges, and Chryslers, but I never stopped to think about Chrysler’s newest brand, Ram. Will the Ram be getting new models too? Well, according to PickupTrucks.com, Chrysler has two names trademarked that haven’t been mentioned yet, and those names are Laramie Prospector and Laramie Western Sky. They believe these models will be released at next month’s Chicago Auto Show. I guess only time will tell, so stay tuned for the latest from Truth About Domestics.

The folks over at PickupTrucks.com have some photos of the 2011 GMC Sierra 3500 which show the new corporate GMC grille that debuted on the 2010 GMC Terrain. The HD truck features the new 6.6L “clean” Duramax diesel meant to meet the new U.S. emissions regulations for diesels. There are rumors that GM is also developing a new gas engine of large displacement, possibly up to 7.0L, that will feature direct injection to produce massive power but at a lower cost to the consumer when compared to the diesel.
