2016 Ram 1500 Express Crew Cab

Hey Everyone,

My name is Andrew and I just picked up my first Ram about 2 weeks ago. I wanted to start this thread as a log of my time with the truck. I probably won't do any extreme modifications on this one since it's a lease, but I have planned a few bolt-on parts.

A little history about me... I've owned three Dodge Dakotas over the past 8 years. I finally decided it was time to get into a full size, and it had to be a Ram. The deal came together, and I drove off with this one:

Call Sign: Duckie

Specs:
2016 Ram 1500 Express Crew Cab 2WD w/ 5'7" Box
Bright White Clear Coat
3.6L V6 w/ 8-Speed Automatic
3.55 Rear Axle Ratio

Options:
20"x9" Aluminum Chrome Clad Wheels
Popular Equipment Group
UConnect 5.0
Parkview Rear Backup Camera
Trailer Tow Mirrors and Brake Control Group
Front and Rear Rubber Floor Mats
Spray-In Bedliner

I had to take some pictures for record keeping, so I might as well start with them. You'll notice the tonneau cover, which I have added:





And one more in the shade:

Modifications

Installed:
Tri-Fold Soft Tonneau Cover

In-Channel Vent Visors
2" Hubcentric Wheel Spacers/Adapters

2" Leveling Kit
Plasti-Dipped Wheels

And I'll save one post for miscellaneous things...

Great looking truck man!

Nice truck. Even tho I have the next trim up. The express has always been one of my favorite trims nice and plain.

Congrats. That's a great truck and you have lots of options as far as mods...

Nice truck!

Thanks for the feedback guys! I know mine isn't the biggest or baddest or most powerful, but I'm excited all the same. The Ram is just an attractive truck, and I already plan to get into another one when this lease is over.

In the meantime: shopping for more parts!

The white looks super clean. Are you going to be keeping the stock wheels and tires? I saw one of your future mods will be the spacers. Just ordered a 1.25 hubcentric set for my truck.

Great looking truck. Had a white Express 2 door, when I bought new one, wife wanted a white CC Express. I decided on Bighorn.


Good looking truck man.

Thanks again guys! I am planning on keeping the stock wheels for now since I'm not planning to lift the truck. I think they look sharp in chrome, though I'll probably dip them black once the fender flares go on...

Speaking of spacers and fender flares, I got some parts in today...

looking good! How does the V6 do moving that truck around?
