Single Cab ?

[SouthernBoy]

From all of your posts it seems like a truck from the 70's would be perfect for you, am radio, manual hubs, standard transmission, and leaf springs all the way around.

Youre not far from the truth in that. I dont care for fancy fluff when it comes to a truck and dont like paying for it. I also dont care for a vehicle mired in all manner of complicated systems that only serve to throw codes eventually and get the owner back to the stealership. Its a bigtime money-maker for the OEMs when they encumber vehicles with all that extra crap.

I like reliability and simplicity. I remember when the only thing you need to keep in your tool box was a spare condensor and nail file and that covered all your potential electrical problems! ;-)

Im not judging anyone else for what they like and respect everyone sees things different, viva la difference! I just am expressing what I prefer and the reason I think that way while trying to quantify just how much unneeded crap & widgets would be on a 2015 if I ordered it. I really do appreciate all you knowledgeable guys for chiming in and helping me out ! This site is awesome.

A tradesman 6.4 hemi sounds perfect for you. Tbh i would have gone totally base model but i wanted the oem fog lights..probably sounds stupid but i didnt wanna downgrade from my previous truck in any way. Just make sure you post up plenty of truck **** for me

I wish I could get the fog lights also, maybe I could swap out my front bumper for the other style and just put 'em in myself ? My 6.7 SLT QC has them fog lights and they were helpful at times.

I guess you can get a winch behind the bumper like the Power Wagon, right? That would be very useful. We had a bad drought this past summer and I had built some new 6-strand Gaucho 4-point fence, and it was so dry the ground pulled away from the end-braces and they moved a bit. That Gaucho is such high tensile you gotta put a good pull on it and when running 6 strands it pulled the dang braces over about 2 inches at the top on both ends. I ended up using a come-along to pull them back and then doubled the braces on each end, but it wouldve been so handy if I had a winch to do that kinda stuff.

This was the single braces when I first put them in, Ive since doubled 'em. Hoping it will stay put now during extra dry summers.

Yeah, I want to add them and it is only $500 for just the bumper! I found out the hard way that it is much cheaper to have the factory assemble it than to assemble it myself.

Same with the gears too..$125 for 4.10s factory or thousands for aftermarket. My dealership has had 5 rclbs pass through in the past 7 months with 6.4 hemis and 4 were slt models but mine was the only one with the 8.4 radio. They do have one there now too so they arent impossible to find. Very rare though for sure

I'm looking to possibly buy a 2015 Ram Sport 4X4 reg. cab/short in about a month or so. I don't need the extra room/seating and the reg. cabs looks real sporty, in my opinion.

Finally found a single 4x4 to test drive.

Looks good! I hate white vehicles because that is all my family has. Then I went and bought one because honestly the color didn't matter a whole lot to me and now it has grown on me and I like it.

Ive always had white trucks, IMHO they look cleaner longer, and if you ever do hafta have paint work done, white is easy to match. It will look better with black Power Wagon fender flares and some BFG-ATs all the way around.

This one wasnt specifically what I wanted, but at least I was able to drive a 6.4 in this configuration.

 

[regularcab2500]

Just like the one at my stealership! Not a fan of white..never will own one especially with all the salt around here. The vehicle will have a yellow tint to it in a few years lol. Obviously not a concern down south..

 

[regularcab2500]

So do you think you might order one or just get one from a lot thats "close enough"?

If I get one it will be ordered. Its only a 6 week or so wait and Im not in any hurry and would rather get it my way.
