Bought the new 2020 RAM Big Horn CC 4X4 6.4 Bed 5.7 Hemi, back in December of 2019. Sacrificed my MPG's by trading in my 2012 Ford Focus SEL. But I just had to have a truck and got the the bang for the buck with the RAM. The dealer told me me I would save $3000 if I bought the 6.4 instead of the 5.7 bed. So I went with the 6.4 bed instead, glad I did, it looks way better.

I custom ordered a gen 5 silver Laramie CC with etorque, 6.4, 12” display, full console, adaptive cruise, 4x4 , elocker 3.92s with base wheels. I needed it for work so tried to keep it base looking on the outside. Took 4 weeks to get to the dealer and I decided to go with a 3500 dually instead (lived in Texas at the time lol) so they gave me my deposit back and sold the truck that weekend. Not sure who got it but they got an awesome configuration. I thought I had pics of it somewhere but can’t find them.

Funny how my 169" wheelbase just doesn't look very long at all parked on the 41 acres we just bought. It is now officially a Farm Truck in Mountain City, TN!837ae4389615f2ec91c3c98d9281edda.jpg
Still looks like it could touch both end zones of a football field

I ordered a '21 classic in CC with 6.4ft bed and can't wait to get it. I'm coming from an f150 ext cab with 8ft bed so I'm thinking they are roughly the same length. I really wanted an 8ft bed truck cause I use it for work but the deal on Rams right now are too good. I saved $21k on the new ram got everything I wanted. If I went Ford I probably would have had a bare bones work truck for more lol

It is about the same length, but the wheelbase is a lot shorter so it's much easier to maneuver.

I love the longer truck. Crew plus 6’4” is so practical if you use your box for anything truck related. I won’t buy a 1500 without it. 2010 1500 Sport, then 2014 1500 Sport, and now I have a 2019 1500 Limited. I special ordered the Limited, but the 14’ was hard to find in a crew and longer box. They are somewhat rare. Whenever I go to any dealer a sales person usually notices and always asks if I want to sell it.

Call me crazy but if it were me, the "B" pillars would be sprayed the same color as the "A" and "C" pillars.
Since it ain't mine, I'll go away now, no disrespect intended. Hell, according to my wife, my sense of style is up my youknowwhat anyway.

To me, they should always be black and the windows should be tinted to match front/rear. But color matched is also acceptable IMO.
