As long as people keep buying them they're not going to do something radical. Maybe with the next motor, but all they seem to change is the grill and front sheet metal to incorporate the changes. '05's changes to coil front suspension is probably as radical of change that has or will be made.

In comparison, GM's changes were probably the most radical out of the three as all body lines were changed. From the looks of the new '09 Ram 1500 all they're changing is the front like Ford and some suspension items from what I've heard, so I would see the next Ram HD not being much different.

When Companies get radical it can hurt sales which in today's economy for automakers would be a big "no-no." Unless it overwhelming won consumer taste. Which every time somebody makes a change everyone on here or other respective forums says the new style is butt-ugly, but yet they all seem to go out and buy one. So the changes no matter how small seem to ge the desired results for the Company.

Just $0.02 from a guy driving a truck with a bodystyle that was outdated the day it left the lot.
