The tailgates broken! That interior looks nice. Kinda funny, the truck rides like a car, and the car, rides like a truck! How are you supposed to drive with a computer just to the right of the steering wheel?

Thank you! Absolutely it does! LOL Heated and vented seats, and heated steering wheel. When I remote start it, it detects the temperature and either turns on the heat or a/c and heated or vented seats depending on temp. I’m sure this is pretty standard now a days, but I’ve been driving 25+ year old rides for a while. It’s fancy and new to me. Also has the tailgate drop button on the key fob.
I think it’s only missing 4 options.
Lane assist - I don’t need, and was kind of a pain on the loaner I drove. I know how to check mirrors still lol.
Ram boxes - something else I didn’t need. Cool feature for sure though.
Air suspension - this one I did kinda want. I liked it on the loaner I was driving. A more superior ride quality. But this one doesn’t have it. The ride is still damn good though. I think it needs a leveling kit. She’s a bit low compared to what I’m used too.
Locking rear differential - would have liked to have it. But we live in FL. Plus this won’t be going on any trails, or doing any whole shots at any drag races lol.

The infotainment center actually is better than I thought it would have been. It has all the standard control buttons for hvac and what not along the sides of the screen while driving. Only thing you have to really use the screen for if wanted while in motion, is the heated/vented seats and steering wheel. Does have a lot of stuff to play with though.

Nice! Ya, just wait till it's 105 in the summer and you start her up for a few minutes before you depart. It will make a world of difference in yer comfort!
Sounds like your truck is optioned exactly like mine! I REALLY wanted the air suspension, but it was near impossible to find at the time with the other options I wanted. And those Ram boxes are pretty cool too. They have an electric plug in the box to run tools etc. And it will double as a cooler too! lol

I personally didn't want an air suspension. I plan on owning the truck for the foreseeable future and see the air being an expensive repair.
The Ram boxes only come on the short beds . Neat as they are I see them being a nuisance for a homeowner truck.
Lane assist? I agree who needs it?
You're gonna not drive anything else.

For sure! Yes the air ride is nice! They had 2 limited’s on the lot with it, and 2 Laramie longhorns without. The interior was the deciding factor for me.
The other Longhorn was white. Can’t do white!
Exactly my thoughts as well. I don’t ever usually get rid of anything. So in the long term believe we are better off without the air ride.
3.21’s.

I know right! The one Limited was black, and in the loaner program. It had almost 3k miles already. Was missing the front floor mats, and the leather on the dash was starting to peal up around the center of the dash. It was a dealer trade.
I brought it home as a loaner for a few days, and that’s what sold me on em. It didn’t have the sunroof or tailgate though.
the other limited I wasn’t real crazy on the color/look.
Don’t worry though, the one I brought home was more expensive than the limiteds, as it had more bells and whistles lol. I couldn’t say no to the interior.
I did like the chrome package a little more on the limiteds. I’m a little scared as I know the paint on the painted bumpers is gonna get ate up. I know I gotta get some touch up paint.
LMAO!
3.21's should get you better than 20 mpg unless you drive like me....
Zac, did you get an owners manual (about 500 pages) or that little users guide?

It was silver. Just too light for me.
The red/maroon was my second color choice besides the black lol. I like it lol.
There was a blue Laramie down around Orlando I was half heartedly considering. It was a Laramie, but didn’t have all the options. It did look damn good though!
My have to haves were-
4x4
Heated/vented leather seats
The big 12” radio
Center console
And crew cab
I’ve got it up a good bit so far. I’ve already put almost 600 miles on it this week! LOL I got it at 98 miles, and getting 11mpg. Now it’s at 680 miles up to 17.5 mpg’s.
