Hello, new to this forum. I ordered and flipped a TRX. Had the TRX in the driveway for a total of only 2 hours. I made a nice profit. I waited a total of 9 months for the hydro blue TRX to arrive. Originally I ordered it to drive and keep but with each month that went by I realized it was not for me. I ended up pre selling it before it arrived. During that time I also ordered a hydro blue Ram Express regular cab 2wd. That arrived just after the TRX. It only took 5 weeks believe it or not. I ordered it with posi, 392 gears, rear slider, bucket power seat, 8.4 inch screen, power package, hemi, black out package. I love the look of this old school Ram. I have a list of mods a mile long. Got a great deal on both vehicles by the way. I am excited to join this forum.

Yes they still make them in the classic line (4th generation) I heard this may be the last year for the regular cab.

Gorgeous truck(s) but the classic is a winner. Welcome from NH!

Thank you. I am pretty sure I will enjoy the classic almost as much as the TRX. I don’t regret flipping the TRX at all. I would love to find some hydro blue mirrors and door handles for it. I am also considering lowering it a few inches and adding hellcat black 5 star 22’s.

The regular cabs have a bunch of rebates right now plus zero % for 48 months. It’s like the only Ram with decent rebates right now. I got a really good deal on top of the rebates as well.

That's a great looking truck. I also didn't know that the Express regular cab short bed was still being offered for 2022.

I'm gonna roll with my 2017 HEMI rcsb Express for a long time to come.

Welcome to the Ramforum.

I like how few you see on the roads. Your truck looks great too.

Wow. Pretty awesome.

Here's my '16 Ram Sport 4X4, rcsb.
Only mods are a direct replacement Flowmaster Outlaw muffler and the GroundForce 2" rear drop, springs and shocks.

Thanks for the info and picture of your truck. It looks great. How do you like the ground force springs and shocks. That’s the ones I was leaning towards. I only have a 1.6 inch difference between the front and rear. I don’t want to be nose high in the front. You clearly are not nose high. How does the truck handle with the ground force? I would love not to touch the front. Do you recall the difference between the front and rear before you did the springs? And what is the difference now? How do you like that muffler? I was looking at the flow master flow fix.

The GroundForce is stout! Rides like stock, but just levels out the truck. It handles really well, just like stock to be honest. Looks killer and drives great.

The Flowmaster Outlaw is great, but it does drone bad at about 60 - 70 mph or so. Especially with the A/C running and on the highway. If it rotted out and I had to do it again, which I'm thinking I don't have to, I would do the Borla full cat back. I think it's the 'S-Type' catback, not the 'Touring' catback. I think the 'Touring' is too quiet. For me anyways.
