Very nice rig brother.

If you're looking for tires, I'm running the Cooper STT Pro & love them.

Hello Ram Forum Community!

I just purchased my first truck, 2017 Ram 1500 Sport Crew Cab 4x4 yesterday!

Previously, I mainly drove SUVs (Yukons), but for the last year, I have been "itching" to have a truck. I have never owned one before and I figured there is a first time for everything!

Prior to settling on the Ram, I looked at the Sierra, Silverado, Tundra, and the F-150. None of the other trucks gave me the "Warm and fuzzy" like the Ram; there is something about the design of the truck that is really appealing!

The truck did not have the side-steps. I asked the sales manager if he would throw in the chrome side-steps to seal the deal and he did! I also ordered my Tri-Fold Tonneau Bed Cover.

Below are the standard and optional equipment that came with my truck.

Does the sunroof in your new Ram open all the way? I just purchased a Ram 1500 Sport and the sunroof stops with about 4-5 inches left to open, but it won't open any further than that. Do you know if this is normal?

Yes, mine does the same. I believe that is how it was designed.
