What's a feature on another truck that you wish RAM had? For me, it's the full roll-down rear windshield in the Tundra.
That’s a good one..... I do wish the back window was also a little bigger maybe not roll all of it down big but atleast bigger.

Another one for me since mine is a 2017 Longhorn is apple CarPlay. Man I wish mine had this.

Ford's tailgate step. My old knees would love that. I also like their trailer backup system, and the lower window sill on the front windows for a better view.

Fords tailgate step, massaging seats and powerfold tow mirrors. Paddle shifters if they're going to stick with the dial and an auto wiper control notch on the stalk instead of having to go many menus deep to turn it on/off

Many of the things listed earlier in this thread are available in newer Rams. (Not all, but many.)

Paddle shifters +1. More camera related systems would be my wish, I think. Some vehicles (not necessarily trucks) are starting to have front cameras, originally designed for help parking, also serve as built-in dash cameras. That would be nice.

I prefer the left and right paddles,but yes the new up and down switch behind the steering wheel is a big improvement. They made a few small changes control wise that make a huge difference to me as far as driving enjoyment vs wanting to punch the screen all the time.

Similar to Fords: Electronic Front & Rear locking Differentials.

“I have witnessed these systems in action & most of the time they will save the owner from a tow.” (with the proper tires)
I personally like them when @ the boat ramps.
As well as towing the family’s 5th wheel through a non-paved camp ground.

I agree with the rear roll down window. I had a Ford Sport Trac and most of the back window rolled down all the way or you could vent it about 3-4 inches. Much better than the tiny slide window on my Ram.

I wish mine had a 110V outlet in the bed to plug in whatever we needed when we go fishing or camping or for any other deal that might need a plug. Also GM bumper that has the cutouts for a step is pretty cool

Agree with step tailgate - young bucks poke fun at it but my 52 year old knees would love one.

Also, not on a truck by our Towncar would automatically release the parking break when you put trans in drive. One of those things that seems pointless but its so nice. I still catch myself putting the Ram in D then R out of habit expecting the parking brake to release lol.

Oh, I kinda wish the oem quad cab steps were wheel to wheel like the crew cab.

Oh, and a MDS disable switch.

What do you mean by this? My mirrors fold in at the touch of a button on my ram 1500

I think he means like the Ford ones that open and close based on truck being locked or unlocked, or it’s based on the truck running (don’t remember exactly)

I wish mine had the 4 front cup holders like the ford super duty’s. It seems stupid but when my wife and I go on a road trip I want to start with water and coffee, and if she has something too I can’t because I would take up all the cup holders. Not to mention a spit cup, etc
