Been a Ford guy forever. Not out of devotion, but because of their bells and whistles. Just got rid of my 4x4 2015 aluminum body Lariat and switched to the Ram 1500 Night package. Man it makes me smile. I felt like an old man in the chromed out Ford....


I added the Mopar cold air intake and cat back exhaust package. I still have to wait for the dealer to install.

I want to add a bed cover and I can't find the size of the bed. Can someone help a Ramnoob out? What is the length of the bed?

Thanks for any help.

Nice rig, congrats! What didn't you like about the Ford? Just curious. I've heard good things about them and I've been a Ford man for a long time, but i really like my ram

Some of the night versions offer the 6'4 bed, there is one at my local dealer. Making me wish I got the 6'4 vs the 5'7

Thanks for the nice welcome and the help! I appreciate it. I have been reading through the forums. The $100 less mods thread was definitley interesting.

Welcome brother!! That red in the Night Edition looks very sweet. There is one over here in my parts, that I see almost daily. Sure looks good.

From your pic, it looks like you have the 5'7 bed.

Looks awesome. I like the black grille. Jeep has done that on a couple JKs.

I saw one of these for the first time yesterday in MA, same color.

Very sharp truck. I even don't mind the huge "RAM!!!!!!" on the tailgate when it's black and on a red truck lol.

I had a nice long explanation for you. LOL and then I got logged out of the sight and lost it when I tried to post it. I will put something together with the reasons why.

It was definitley a trade off but when I weighed all the pros and cons. The sexy Ram won. :)

Yeah. I agree. Way better than the platinum tail gate on Ford. I don't care for it at all.
