I couldn't be any happier with this truck for having just bilsteins and a 2" level. No rubbing at all with 35x12.50's. My only complaints are that the suspension chirps a bit(not sure from where) but it's not enough to agitate me and my front license plate frame fell off from offroading due to being flimsy. Here are a few pics of some trails in SoCal.

Im not fond of where you change gears on the steering wheel. I drive a lot of switch backs with a lot of varying grades of the road. When going down a steep road I wish the gear selector switch was a handle for more control. So far that about the only thing I don't care for. I really like the fog lights coming on when you turn the wheel

Its just something you have to get used to, thats all. It accomplishes the same thing. Its kinda like shifting gears with the twist knob instead of the handle.

That old school lighter is so you can plug is a GPS. Or radar detector or some and not have to have the power cord hanging down the front of the I.P.

If they woulda scrapped that goofy tire track design on y’all’s seat covers or at least poked some holes in it, you’d probably have the built-in ventilation.

How about the vents on the hood, any reason not to make them functional instead of aesthetic?

I would think so. You can get the Mopar Cold air intake that’s designed to work with those inlets. You just have to buy the duct kit for your hood that channels the air to the new filter box that removes the blanks on the hood and opens them up.

I’d love to have it on mine but since my Limited wasn’t the Tungsten Edition, it didn’t come with the sport hood that y’all have.

Love my truck but 2 things I wish it had and I think most of us would like these features.

Front camera and having some sort of performance page for the 8.4 screen, similar to what the jeeps have with pitch and angle of the vehicle.

I wish the ventilated seats were an option. Just as high of a price tag as the Laramie but no ventilated seats? Then I do wish there was a memory type button for the mirrors, from normal to tow. I hate having to change my mirrors when I tow. Petty things but otherwise I love the truck20190629_160356.jpg

They would be but apparently those goofy tire track patterns on the seats is why you don’t have the ventilation seat option.

You would think that since it requires so much adjustment from one mirror mode to the other that they would have incorporated something like that but what do you tow behind that little half ton that you need those gawdy mirrors flipped out for? I never towed anything long enough behind my old half ton to warrant flipping the tow mirrors out but all the times I tried using them, they weren’t worth a crap, couldn’t see much more so I just left them folded in. Needless to say I’m glad my new truck doesn’t have those goofy things… LOL.
