Hey everyone. Picked up one of the few 2018’s left in my area and what a great feeling it is. This is my first Dodge/Ram truck, my second new vehicle (the first being a not-so-great Ford) and I must say I really like it so far.

I’ve done a lot of research but even still, if there is anything I should know, expect, or prepare for please let me know. Thanks everyone.

Very nice truck. I'm on my second Ram and will prob get a 3rd in about 7 or 8 yrs. Only thing that bothers me are the recalls. At least 1 or 2 a yr so far (it's a '15).
Another problem I have is I can't stop staring at it. It's beautiful. Enjoy it.

Thank you everyone!

I plan on tinting the windows, adding a tonneau cover and a catback exhaust later on. Maybe a cold air intake as well.

Welcome and there’s a ton of great things available to do to these trucks. But my strong suggestion is to determine what you want out of it before dropping any coin on it. 5cff7ba5a941517b31cbf7098e6c2b4b.jpg
