A feature you especially like or is especially handy

[yrraljguthrie]

My truck has physical knobs for the heating/AC. The switch for changing from air blowing on the floor to all defrosting is nice. A feature that seems especially well thought out and is easy to use without having to look at it.

keyless entry, just grab the handle and it opens, great for when my hands are full or its raining

The rotary shifter is fantastic. Easy to use and cleans up the entire cabin.

The headlights, especially with the bending beam function that keeps the brightest part of the beam in line with your steering wheel angle.

Auto dimming mirrors is one of my favorite features. I live in Nebraska and often find myself on two lane roads, inevitably someone speeding rolls up behind me with their brights on

Steering column shifter, I can't handle (no pun intended) constantly taking my attention away from my mirrors to turn a knob that is inconvenient when I am in the back area. Rented ones with knobs a couple times, just ugh. But I know they work for others hope the keep the options.

I wish we had the Chevy (gasp) step in the tailgate. Gotta admit I drool over that. Hate carrying a ladder to get in and out of the bed.

So what is it that you especially like? I didn't see that. The rotary dial shifter is one of the best things on the Ram. One of the things that makes the most sense. I can't even imagine someone who can't handle a simple shift from a lever to a dial. (pun intended) How is it possible to even be able to drive without having enough flexibility to turn a knob.

Seats with the cooling feature. I didn’t know it was something that I wanted until I had it in my loaded to the gill loaner truck, feels nice on the backside in this southern heat. Unfortunately my tradesman will never have it.

Since I tow a TT I like that the blind spot monitor will come on at the rear of my trailer when hooked up.

I like the Parking Assist feature. I don’t need to use it because I learned how to park at a young age but it scares the hell out of the wife when I use it! Live dangerously and get a good chuckle out of it!

I think you answered your own question. A lever shifter is easier to use without looking at it.

My favorite feature on this truck is my 17" wheels. Came from a mercedes with rubber-band sized sidewalls. It's nice to hit a curb when making a turn in a drive-thru and not worry about scratching the rims.

LED lighting, a MUST have period.

 

[Riccochet]

LED headlights and auto high beams.

The rotary shift knob and LED headlights have already been mentioned (didn't know how much I'd like those until I had them), but what hasn't been mentioned is:

The upper glove box

Never had one before my RAM and thought it was more of a gimmick but it was really practical. I wish my car had one.

I just drove from near Reno to eastern Idaho on highways with a speed limit of 80. The temperatures in the afternoon were frequently over 100 degrees. The over sized radiator and trans cooler designed for towing kept the Cummins diesel at the same temperature as any regular driving. I love the new Ram.

One of my favorite things is the split tailgate. Makes it so easy to reach in the bed. Also has the pop out step under the bumper if I need to get in the bed.

 

[Tulecreeper]

I was quite surprised at the quality of the vinyl on the seats. The stuff is bulletproof, almost a shame when I put seat covers over them.

 

[chopperdog45]

I think the diesel exhaust brake is my favorite feature on my 2500.
