I am waiting on mine still! CAN'T FRIGGIN WAIT!!! The only issue I see are the tank sizes they put in these trucks. I am going to most likely put a Titan 50 Gallon in mine. 32 Gallons isn't going to cut it.
That's from the factory, as mentioned he'll be going with a Titan fuel tank. 52 gallon available for the 2500/3500 Crew cab w/6.4' bed https://titanfueltanks.com/products/xxl-replacement-tanks/dodge-crew-cab-short-bed-7030113You need to buy the 8' bed to get the 50 gallon tank. No room for it in the short boxes.
I'm on my last Ford, been over 20 years in them, and they're just not like the rock solid 1999 SD's anymore.I've been a Ford driver for over 30 years. I've never owned a Dodge but am now looking at a 3500 Laramie Longhorn Dually with the Cummins HO Aisen. This will be replacing my 2012 F350 6.7 SRW to pull a new 5ver toy hauler with a wet 18000lbs.
I am a little apprehensive about the purchase as I've seen posts about roof leaks on the Dodge and a few other issues with the Aisen transmission. All that said, this new truck is really sweet and is about $10k cheaper than a comparably equipped Ford.
I too am interested in any input or advice from current 3500 owners.
Regards
Waiting on my 3500 Laramie. Ordered 12/29/20...getting close. I REALLY wish I had paid more attention to fuel tank size as well. Would've ordered the 50 gallon in a heartbeat had I known standard was 31 gallon. An additional cost of $295 at time of order vs $1,000 + to do aftermarket.I am waiting on mine still!

As for the 2021 Ram HD, My research is that Ram has stepped up and fixed the 2 biggest issues I have seen since the 2019 model change;
1st is the HVAC system is revamped and a TSB for repairs on the 2019-2020 is now recognized.
2nd is that with Cummins fuel pump has been changed for the better in the 2021 MY.
Other issues I have seen are much more minor IMO.

I don't believe that is true. There is an aftermarket version that fits. It's from Titan.

Service contracts (what people call "extended warranties") and maintenance plans are normally two separate items. I have seen them sold as package deals, but that is not common. Maintenance plans are normally priced high because they assume you will use all the services included. The profits in maintenance plans is made from investment income from the claim reserve and the consumer not using all of the scheduled services.If the extended warranty includes oil changes, it’s not a horrible deal. One tech issue in these and the warranty has paid for itself.
