The new Ram doesn't stray far from the original.

Overview Information

The bold Ram is redesigned for 2002. The new truck doesn't stray far from its roots. Exterior styling is marginally different. The real changes are underneath the skin: an all-new independent front suspension, and 3.7L V-6 and 4.7L V-8 OHC engines. The 5.9L Magnum V-8 remains in the lineup. Standard and Quad Cab versions of the Ram 1500 were exhibited at Chicago. Heavy-duty 2500 and 3500 series trucks will be available during the 2003 model year.

Official Word:

With the all-new 2002 Ram 1500, we amplified the 'Ram Package' in every conceivable way, making it more comfortable, roomier, quieter and more user-friendly.
