I'm in love with my...

... heated steering wheel. Never had one before, now I don't think I could live without it. This truck has so many awesome features, but the heated wheel is the one I adore.

JMHO. YMMV.

I couldn't agree more, one of my favorite things on my truck.

I love mine and it was actually pretty cold this winter in Louisiana, so I got to use it a lot. Hell it was 36 for low on Wednesday. lol

I bet it hasn't dipped that low in recent memory in the southern states. Everywhere seemed to get pounded on this winter season. I can't wait for summer!

I wonder what that's like compared to the heated seats. I hated them.

I don't have that option on my truck but I bet it would feel great in the winter.

Not nearly as overwhelming as heated seats can feel. Just makes your hands nice and warm. Never before have I wanted to have 2 hands on the steering wheel in normal (not crappy road or heavy traffic) driving until now.

Gotta get one of those

Man the steering wheel and heated leather are definitely things I miss about my Avalanche!

I could have used that driving to the airport in -10 weather last winter. So it this a special steering wheel or a doable mod for us cold-wheelers?

Big Surprise...

The first time I used the remote start I got into the Ram and BOY
did that steering wheel feel good!!! It was a pleasant surprise because I
had not programed it.
I am now completely spoiled!

Yup a special steering wheel, but I'm not sure if it'd be an easy mod. I'm sure the heating element is integral to the wheel in models that have it, and then there's a dash switch, relays, and interface to the HVAC controls. As Dante221 mentions, if you have remote start and use it, the truck checks outside temp and if it's below 40 degrees, turns on the heated wheel and seats, so there's a more advanced connection with the vehicle here too. I'll bet it could be installed with just a dash switch though too.

The heated steering wheel is going to be sooooo nice! I'm thinking of those cold days and nights out on the water and then hopping into a cold truck and ice cold steering wheel....no more

bluetooth and hands free.. Not just from this truck but my last car. literally I went truck shopping and they asked me what do you want and the first thing I said was bluetooth lol. You would be suprised that its only available on the higher end F150's and Chevys.. One of the reasons I got this truck.. then again I am spoiled with my "fully loaded" Ramcharger package Express.. I love my Uconnect 5.0. But if I had to say "im in love with.." it would be I'm in love with my RAM!

Well put, sir.

 

[dRAMbuie]

I have to agree.
I didn't really want that option, but the truck I bought was on the lot and had it already.

Now I couldn't imagine a winter without it.

Only possible problem I see, is that it seems to get very warm (when it's off) on hot days. Hopefully it doesn't retain too much heat in the summer months.

Living in Florida, I wish they had a cooled steering wheel!

 

[Omicron]

Now that'd be a COOL idea. Just as someone came up with cooled seats a few years ago, I'm sure they'll come up with a cooled steering wheel some day.
