Ram teaser

The official debut of a new Ram truck—probably an updated 2013 Ram 1500, which should adopt the Pentastar V-6 and an eight-speed automatic—has been announced for next week’s New York auto show. To whet appetites, Ram released this image of an extreme close-up of the new truck’s chrome-y countenance.

From this photo, it appears that the Ram logo has been slightly redesigned. Also, if this is a new 1500, it looks like a new grille will replace the one which dates to the 2009 model year.

More information—and more mysterious images—should follow soon.
