2500 SLT, Granite Crystal, 6.4 L, 4.10 anti-spin diff, goose neck prep pkg, cargo camera, LED bed lighting, fog lamps, lux group. There were some things I wanted to add like off-road pkg or the upgraded cloth seats, but it took the price higher than I wanted.

Hey guys, been perusing the forum for a while and just ordered my new 2018 on Monday. Can't wait until it gets here and listen to that HEMI.

Congrats! Now the wait begins!!! There is a guy on the other Ram Forum that works at FCA that can track the progress of your truck. Makes the wait a little more bearable knowing where your truck is at on the line. :)

Nicely spec'd truck. If you really want the Hemi to sound the way it should plan on a muffler swap. I did the Mufflex direct swap myself. No cutting or drilling, sounds like a beast now. Also would recommend a Pedal Commander. It is almost a night and day difference and makes the 6.4 feel like it should.

Exactly what mohemipar said, get a different muffler if you want to hear that Hemi otherwise it's pretty quiet. I went with the Mufflex delete and it's more than loud enough, it just doesn't have that startup bark my Camaro SS has.

The shipping is the worst part. Mine left the plant on 11/10 and still hasn't made it to the depot in Nashville, TN.

I haven't gotten it yet. The dealer thinks probably in the next two weeks. I'll post some pics when it comes in.

It was delivered to the dealership last night around 5pm. I pick it up tomorrow am. Pretty impressed with the turn around time, I ordered it on 10/30 and it was delivered 12/12.

Congrats!!!
You definitely need a muffler to hear the truck. I also did a muffler replacement swap. No cutting or welding.
I also ordered my truck as I wanted it. Took about 7-8 weeks from order date to delivery. Congrats and good luck!
