2020 Ram 2500 arrives!

[jayseejay]

My 2020 2500 Laramie arrived Friday March 5th, after ordering January 13th. Seemed like forever. This is my first Ram, and first post to these boards, but I’ve learned a lot lurking over the past several months. Thanks to all of you who share your knowledge. Joe

Very nice looking truck, I hope it serves you well.

Yes, I had the dealer replace the Transforce tires with same-sized KO2s. Now I need to find a quick way to sell the Transforce to make some room in the garage. Joe

No doubt. good luck getting rid of those things. Cut your losses and drink a beer.

Thanks everyone. Here’s my build sheet, if you’re interested in the details. Payload is 2775. Very happy with the end product. I made a painful ordering error though, which I didn’t discover until after the vehicle was built. I had intended to get the off-road package, but ended up accidentally ordering the protection package and the anti-spin diff separately, so I did not get the bilsteins or the descent control. Kicking myself! Although towing my TT is more important to me than off-road, I would have liked those features, just to have them. Joe

Beautiful truck. Are you a first time Rambox owner? Curious what you think of them so far.

Yes, this is my first Ram and so also my first Ramboxes. I’m just now getting used to them, but I like what I’ve seen so far. They close very solid and tight, with no warping so far. I ordered the Mopar Rambox organizer kit, which should arrive in a few days. We camp a lot, so I’m looking forward to the extra organized storage. I guess the only negative so far is the fact that the RB limits the tonneau covers that I can choose from. I’m planning to go ahead with the Retrax Pro MX, although I know some owners have had trouble with the Rambox fitment And that cover. Joe

Nice
A couple of points.
1. That engine is a powerhouse
2. Sight lines take time getting used to.
3. The mirrors can really obstruct your vision sometimes. I've missed cars coming at me when leaving a driveway or similar.
4. Don't ever ask if you can improve the mpg.
5. lock out the MDS with the gear shifter.

Beau-t-full

Beautiful Truck! When you decide to get a Tonneau Cover, let me know and I'll get a sweet deal.

 

[jayseejay]

Thank you all. I just did get a tonneau, installed by a local shop. I got the Retrax Pro MX, and it’s working well, even with the Ramboxes. Here are some pics, including a shot hitched to our travel trailer. Best, Joe
