Even if all I got was one extra cup holder, that would still be better than a ginormous shifter to put your car into Drive and Reverse. If you want a shifter, go manual.

And to clarify, I'm not even bashing the automatic stick-shifter or column-shifters. Both are fine. I'm only addressing those that think a dial knob is stupid. It isn't. It's a practical, space-efficient solution to an every day task.

Aaaaand again, that is your opinion. How many cup holders does one have. Mine has 5 up front. I don't need that many. To say if you want a shifter go manual doesn't make any sense. I could say if you don't want a shifter get a prius... Doesn't add up.

A lot of vehicles even if they have a normal console shifter are still electronic and not actually connected to the transmission with a cable like older cars were. The shifter is still used just to make people feel comfortable. More and more will be going to dial and push button shifting in the future for sure.



I highly doubt that. At least not in FCA vehicles. There is a reason the Charger, Challenger, Grand Cherokee and the RAM Rebel TRX concept went back to a simulated traditional "mechanical" shift lever. I wouldn't be at all surprised if we see one in the 5th gen RAM, and I hope we do.

I have a Rebel and it has the all black headliner and trim. I like it a lot better then the light gray my black 14 Sport had.

The black headliner should definitely be included with the Sport edition....I've owned cars that are 9 years old now, like the Pontiac G8 GT, that came standard with the black headliner.

My one "complaint " would be the cheap plastic interior door panels on my '16 Express, but that's nitpicking. I don't have any complaints about the truck so far in the year I've owned it. I love everything about the truck. It's by far the best vehicle I've ever owned . My previous cars were '90 Camaro Iroc-z, '95 Avenger , '02 Durango and '05 Infiniti FX 35 , all purchased new.

This ^^^ + Maybe the cheap plastic steering wheel.
Was one of my first "mods" getting a leather one. Soo much nicer.

Every leather steering wheel I have had has developed peeling where I normally hold it and had everyone replaced under warranty.
Glad mine does not have one..lol

Those cheap door panels do clean easy and would be easy on the wallet if they ever need to be replaced.

I hated how my elbow felt on long drives so I swapped in some Big Horn panels...


I wonder what this button does?

Love my truck but don't like that a DEF/exhaust system fault, real or not can strand you. I got a 5mph limit in 150 miles see dealer alarm while over 200 miles from the closest dealer. Fortunately the alarm was false and cleared after shutting down and restarting the next morning.

I still get frustrated with the sensitivity of the dash lights when they automatically dim in the day or go full bright at night.

Love the knob, and love my Ram. I remember in the 60's when some chrysler models had push button shift. Most guys loved it but the ladies complained about breaking finger nails. Pressure was on and they changed the shifting to the column. Wee bit of history.

Everytime it rains or just after a rain, if I open any door, a bunch of water will fall from the seal up top, right onto the leather so i have to clean it all up. It may not be much but it annoys the crap out of me.
