Hey Kirk one of things I learned about the screen is that is integrated with the main screen and let’s say you want to find a restaurant while your driving your passenger can actually find the restaurant then send it to the main screen navigation system and have you navigate to the restaurant, not sure if that changes your mind but I thought it was cool feature

What is missing? Electronic controls to adjust the steering wheel position. Additional manual knobs, switches for better control while driving without using the touchscreen. Haptic features when using touchscreen. A paper manual to better (easier and quicker reference) document and explain all of the configuration options and controls available in this truck. I would like to see better controls on the steering wheel itself; many of the controls on there are ever used while driving (Drive Mode in particular). I would also like to see manual controls for trip mileage and mpg instead of having to navigate across multiple touchscreen layers to reset. Quicker responsiveness from the UConnect System (frequent lags when changing screens). Automatic rear window shades.Would also like to see more robust controls for the excellent audio system; a broader equalizer spectrum or specific sound environments (concert hall, auditorium, jazz club, etc.), for example. And I really do wish I had the option for a larger bed size with an accompanying longer wheelbase for an even better ride. I would also like to see a fully retractable rear window (such as Toyota has on their Tundras). I also wish it was possible to choose a different color scheme for the interior. This is a really great truck so far. My only real negative is how easily the touchscreen captures fingerprints which eventually mask the screen contents if the light reflections are just right; this has happened to me several times so far. Perhaps a different coating on the glass or improved shading in the design could help mitigate this. I'm looking forward to seeing how the first 100,000 miles go...

I ordered the same color with every option except for block heater! For the price you are going to pay for it you might as well LOAD IT OUT!it looks better with the tow/haul mirrors. A luxury vehicle in my opinion suppose to be quiet with all the bells and whistles. My only question is when will RAM start building the TUNGSTEN? It was supposed to been in the first quarter. The only thing I don’t like about the truck they give you a cheap Tonneau cover that come standard with it. Oh yeah, they still have the best tailgate in the game.

@mrgurulittle7000 7 ай бұрын

Nowadays they use Aisin transmissions so those are bulletproof. I’d say, it’s better bang for your buck than the Fords and Chevys because those two brands are way too expensive for the package they offer. Ram is at least somewhat in touch with reality when it comes to pricing.

@JDMSwervo2001 7 ай бұрын

Most likely better than the tundra at this point

@matthewdievendorf9609 6 ай бұрын

Well the engine/transmission have been a combo for the last 3 years with almost no issues so I assume reliability is built in from the factory. Listen, I’ve had several rams with the 5.7 over the years and I can say there are consistent issues over the life of the last gen rams I have noticed.

The front bench seat is likely only available at Lower trims. When I went to shop for a RAM this year, I think only a Warlock I saw had the bench seating up front. When you get to the start of their luxury trims (Rebel and up) you get their center console.
