Picked up a 2017 V6 1500 Crew Cab!

Philip · Oct 3, 2017

Thank you everyone, I love this truck! I had some 4 inch Lund side rails installed today, makes getting into the truck so much easier.

Question, are the rear square holes in the rear of the truck bed good enough to slide a flag stand into if I want to ride with a flag flying around in the air? America!!!!

Thanks guys! Drove it today for a good 2 hours, so freaking happy! I might stick to using my iphone 7 plus for Navigation, I love the cell phone holder on the center console, it really holds it in place. Added bonus, the dealer didn't even tell me it had auto start!!! I was walking to the truck today, looked at the key and was like "wtf is this 2x button?" Fired right up! SWEET!!!

Wait 17's have a cell phone holder? I have a 17 where is the cell holder? Maybe I'm dumb and haven't noticed it in 8 months.

Fellow V6 owner here, just in QC configuration. Same color as well. Congrats on the truck. My V6 has nearly 80,000 miles with 0 issues so far.

Does yours have the bench seat or the console?

I simply put my iphone 7 plus in this while using navigation on my phone. The charger cord goes in those little slots.

Here's mine, blue streak as well.

Awesome rides! I just came from pepboys and picked up a phone mount which I have mounted just above the middle of the dashboard. Worked out perfectly. I'm not an apple fanboy, but hot damn Siri NEVER lets me down. I got her in the Australian voice too, she loves me!

I activated my nav from Navrepair.com it was $425. they give you the code you punch it in good to go. I like having it built in I ordered it factory on my 2017. $425 is a small price to pay vs. what the truck cost IMO. to each their own.

I literally just pull the handle and let it bang open lol. Cool mod, but I don't treat this truck like some ****** prom queen lol, she likes to get banged at will. :naughty:

Rado · Nov 19, 2017

CONGRATS on your new truck ! IMO a GREAT price. As for the NAV I agree get a GARMIN, 1/200$ and when the break throw away and get another :O way cheaper the factory

As for mount I made my own for about 8$ as I did not like the windshield and too cheap to spend 50$ + on other options lol

Here is my thread if interested in making your own

Nice truck!

I need to get a water proof tool box for the rear, lockable of course. I carry various tools, ammo, and my rifle with me everywhere.

Why didn't you buy one with Rambox then?

And to find more hidden features, read the manual

TerraNewf · Nov 19, 2017

Congrats on your new truck. The Pentastar v6 is a very capable engine, I had one in my 2015 but wasn't available in my current truck when I ordered it.

Yes I'm still surprised it moves this truck so well, especially with my tall 3.21 gears.

Wait until the mod bug bites....this forum is full of mod ideas. My truck is 3.5 yrs old and I just did another mod today! (center console trim ring which blinds you in sunlight) search on best mods for under $100.

If you decide that you want your Ra3/Vp3-NA radio's Nav activated for much less than the dealer, pm me with your email address and I will point you in the right direction.

Anyone looking for activation, pm me with your email for 1/2 of that price.
