So for fun and thinking I want to grab a loaded sport with air suspension and sunroof with 3.92 and A8. It would be a nice upgrade from my 12 loaded big horn.
I went to test out air suspension and love it feels great very responsive in handling and height changing speeds everything was great. I only test drove with 3.21 and the A8 and what a stout transmission. It makes the world of difference in these trucks my 6 speed feels like a snail compared with all my work done before tires this feels like it could beat mine hands down. I am just in awe how much these trucks changed for the better in 2013. I should of waited. That is my thoughts and can't wait to upgrade into a new ram with the A8 and air suspension.

I'm with you. Helped a friend find a new truck in Dec 2012, so we drove them all. At the time the Ram was good but she liked the F150 better. When I went to replace my own truck in early March this year, I was blown away with how much better the 2014 Ram was.

So did you buy one, or are you just Jonesin for one now? :)

Just dreaming and wanting for the moment. About to move to FL so once there I probably will. The new radio and everything is awesome too. I could break the tires free from a stop with the truck with ease. Mine still has issues.

A8 and 3.92 is a DREAM!
when we were shopping for our '12 (in Aug '12) we knew the 13s were coming with a mild refresh, but mostly found info about the auto-stop at red lights, and active grille shutters info, not the A8. I dislike the Sport wheels and projector headlights but the A8 would make up for all that. Sigh.
