Traded in the 2013 SLT for a 2017 BigHorn.
Went from the 3.55 to 3.92 Gears, 6spd to 8spd, Single to Dual Exhaust, 5.0 Connect to 8.4 and I have the center console now. The Exhaust sounds better on start up and the best part about it, the wife picked it out! The Granite Crystal Metallic is a nice color as well. Couldn't beat the price they offered on the 2013 nor the price they let this 2017 go for!

I am sure the 3.92 and 8-speed make it feel like a totally different and better truck than your last. Congrats.

Still getting used to it, just turned 88 miles. Now I gotta find something to tow. Maybe I can talk the wife into a boat :).

Did the same. My wife picked out a maximum steel color. I can't tell the difference between that and your grey. Congrats and enjoy.

So you went from a column shift to rotary knob shift, I bet that’s different too huh?

Still reaching for it every time. The other cars including my work car all have column shifters, so that will always be a quirk.

Looks great brother! Enjoy!

I just got my Ram, nothing special, it's the slowest of the pack lol. BUT I love how comfortable it is ESPECIALLY with the center console! I love just cruising, resting my arm on that soft center arm rest/console.

Nice truck! DId you do alot of towing with the 3.55's? I have a 3.55 2012 right now and am eyeballing a 3.92 truck for my next.

I towed a 20 foot enclosed trailer a few times. Never had much of an issue that I noticed. Haven't been able to tow with this new one yet!
