I like that. At least Dodge interiors aren't all cheap and crappy like Toyota and GM. Ford makes nice insides but I can't believe how cheap and crappy Toyota interiors are. If you're paying a premium for a brand name, you should get more than cheap, thin, creaky, plastic. Just MHO.

A Lack of gauges, I guess a sacrifice for the look.

The steering wheel with the big split down the middle is kinda ugly Not to mention the sagging shape of it.

Everything is just too blocky, which seems to be following everyone else's interior designs, which isn't really all that appealing.

They are still using the large bulky radio :( they should ban those things, unless they are going to start coming with 5 or 7 in LCD/Plasma Screens.

The interior looks great for a concept truck, but it's just not the look that you want for a truck.

I'm looking for a rugged, yet smooth look, that is why I went with my 97 Dakota, at the time, the black and gray interior was a good rugged look, but also offered the sleekness that kinda calmed it down.

I dislike the new interior as well as the exterior :( in my opinion, I think Dodge has messed up one of the best looking trucks ont he road.

I don't mind the look, but the lack of gauges would get to me after awhile, probably the oil pres. that is gone. They kind of remind me of the ones in my dad's Neon, though, with the bright trim around each one.
The heater controls look a bit fussy with those buttons on the side. Other than that it's OK, up to date looking.
Seems like the cup holders are placed further forward than the GenIII's...if that's a concern to anyone.
