I'm jealous of the eco diesel..

I agree. I really wanted to go with the diesel on this truck, but it would have put the MSRP at almost 80k. Just couldn't do it. I rode with a friend the other day that has an 2020 F250 with the diesel (not sure which one - not a Ford guy), but damn, the torque is insane.

Hello everyone, it's been a while since i've been on this forum. I recently ( 3 days ago ) picked up my 5th Ram I've ever owned. with the truck market as high as it is right now I was able to trade in my lease on my 20018 Limited with 11 months on my lease left and pick up a new lease on the 2021 Big Horn Night Edition. The best part was saving over $240/ month on my payment. I loved my 2018 but the new 2021 5th Gen seem to drive much nicer. Big difference in the transmission or something. no lag on take off like my 2018. Anyway just wanted to say hi.

just curious why a QC vs a crew cab? I love the extra space, and wouldn't settle for less, even without kids.

I believe you get a bigger bed, and some (like me) don't like the look of a crew cab. If I could have gotten a PW in a QC I would have.

yeah, you get the 6.4' bed vs the 5.7. The overall length of the truck stays the same unless you special order the 8ft bed, I believe. The truck is REALLY long with a crew and 8' bed :eek::eek:

Great looking trucks! Wish I could afford one of these, on a side note how are those that have the multi-function tailgate liking it? Real design breakthrough or a gimmick?

I love it so far. I almost never drop the gate the old fashioned way anymore. No more pushing things in or reaching in for it. How well it holds up will be determined. But I’m in love with it and consider it a game changer functioning both ways.

Nice truck but then again I may be biased base on my current ride color and edition.

That's what I thought. I seen a 3rd gen Mega Cab with an 8ft bed it was long! Look up the 4th Gen Ram Long Hauler. It was a Mega Cab with an 8ft bed AND a 2ft section between the cab and bed that was a second fuel tank

Nice choice, you’re going to lease but add the stuff you have listed ? What happens to those things at the end of the lease ?
You can remove them if you turn your truck in when your lease is up!

I also just picked up my 2021 Laramie Night Edition. First truck that I have ever owned. Looking to add bigger tires. I added the sprayed on liner and cover today. Loving the 12" screen and the great ride. I need to learn more about wheels , tires and offsets before I buy the wheels and tires but black wheels are a start. Any suggestions on where to buy and what to buy would be great. Thank you.

Wheels are tricky as we would need more information, size, style, is weight an issue so for that no so on...
