Well I got a new 2021 3500 Tradesman SRW with the standard Cummins, crew cab, long box, 4x4 etc. delivered yesterday. What a thrill it is to have a diesel again. Long story sort like everyone I have been looking for a long time. I had found a Dually on Car Gurus and put a deposit on it, but when it arrived it was a regular cab for some reason. They found me a similar SRW crew cab on the lot that I bought instead. I had been debating on the Dually so this kind made it easy. I drive 99% around town so I am glad it worked out this way. I paid right at sticker for it which the 3 dealers I talked to in the state were all about the same. I found this about 3 1/2 hours away. They delivered it for free. I didn't want to wait for an order son I started looking around the state.

Ride is stiff but good. Will be easy getting used to. I did a lot of research but now it's time to learn about this truck.

I look forward to participating here. Thanks.

Just a bed liner and maybe running boards. I have to climb into the thing! I tend to leave vehicles stock. I won't run it very hard, but I am fence contractor so do haul materials around frequently. It will be my daily driver.

:welcome:Running boards are a must. Check a pair from forum vendor Oedro for a set of steps at a reasonable price.

Welcome. Nice HD Ram. I settled for a 1500 but I don't put many miles on my trucks.

If you have the OEM Trailer Brake, you have a place for switches

in the cubby at the top on the dashboard, it looks better than most
