Very interesting. We love ours and have tons of fun. My short wife loves driving it the best.

Takes the fun out...interesting

She tells me the Cherokee is no fun and harder to drive.

What planet do you live on?

There has not been a Dodge Ram available in [I don't know how long, but] at least a decade?

Certainly never once since 2019 (the generation this post is in).

Regardless, if you can't find what you want - order it!
I do not think anyone is confused by him saying Dodge Ram.

And he found almost exactly what he wanted...ordering right now is a cheap shoot.

May take 8 weeks...some have been waiting 8 months.

You would be very lucky to find a dealership that would know what to order in an attempt to not have a hold up.

Very weird market right now.

And just because...some Dodge Ram trucks...lol

And the 2013...even though it was of the RAM era...still said DODGE in the little shelf above the radio

Guess I should have got pics of the drive thru for context. Keep the front to the right and the rear to the left.

8' Long Bed... 4X8 sheet of plywood close tailgate and larger tow option
6.4" Short Bed 4X8 sheet of plywood and tailgate open and less tow option
5'7" Short Bed 4X8 sheet of plywood and tailgate open and prob same towing as long bed, but you got room behind you for the rug rats or illegals picked up at Home Depot

To find which way is shorter
find a dirt lot after a rain

Crank you tires as hard as possible & drive in a complete circle going forward, then measure off the circle that your tires made.
Then move your truck off to the side & crank your tires all the way to the stop & back around in a full circle & measure that off.

Driving backwards in a circle would make for a smaller diameter
Police Officers are taught to use reverse to make for a shorter turn around & it is much quicker too
