New member from Iowa here. Found the site while researching potential future purchase of Ram 1500. I have always been a GM guy currently have two GM's in the family, but looking to trade my daily driver Impala for a truck.
Big fan of the Chevy Silverado 4x4 LTZ Z71. New ones are dead quiet on highway and with the 6.2L run quite well, but even with Supplier Discount, they still aren't cheap and Ram dealer seem to be knocking a lot off MSRP to begin with. I have some features I want that I think a Ram could provide:
- heated/cooled seats
- heated steering wheel
- NAV, etc...
But the Ram seems to have additional features that would be nice that Chevy doesn't offer:
- Ram box
- in-floor storage
- air ride
- locking Ram box and tailgate when doors are locked/unlocked
I have yet to drive one and local dealer only has Limiteds with Air Ride. Thinking for price I am looking for a Laramie with Convenience Package, front buckets/leather, air ride, and trailer brake controller is route I want to go. Would be with Hemi and 3.92 gears and "anti-spin" rear diff...
Any input or thoughts or other ideas I should consider or look for is greatly appreciated.
I will see, I am a big fan of GM's OnStar App and use it quite a bit from the phone. Both vehicles currently accessible in the App. Can start/stop, lock/unlock, check tire pressures, fuel level, oil life. And for the wife, she can find where she left the car at! Does Ram/Mopar offer something like that for the trucks?
