Only the driver's side. The front passenger's side seat is manual only for the Big Horn.

Power passenger's side is only Laramie and above which are all leather seats of some type.

YUP, unless ordered got to go way up in Model/Trim line.

WHAT did I do for 5th Gen today? Fed the beast, ie., gasoline.

This week I had my front windows tinted. I had them match the factory tint on back windows. I think it's 20%.

Technically in NJ it's illegal to have your front windows tinted but everyone has them done and no one gets pulled over for it unless you have something crazy like 5% all the way around and even then you have to give them another reason to pull you over.

But if I get a ticket for it, which I highly doubt I will, I'll deal with it. My truck isn't exactly a cop magnet like the RT Charger one of my son's aids drives. She has 5% all the way around except for her windshield, that's 20%. She's begging to get pulled over in this, and she has a lead foot.

Here is a pic of my truck and her Charger. You'll see what I mean when I say her car is a cop magnet.

I really like that. I never wanted a Ram box because I knew I'd just throw junk in there but what you did gives me other ideas. Maybe I'll get one on my next truck.

I just got my truck about a week ago, new to me 2019 Limited. I added a Proclip mount though want a magnetic plate to snap it to. For now I've settled on an Amazon special adhesive backed magnet & metal plate inside my phone case but the phone isn't angled straight to me. Anybody have a good magnetic mounting solution for the 5th gens?
For your ProClip mount... Is this the one that mounts near the vent? Could you please let me know the dimensions of the mount plate itself (the one attached to the mount bracket)? I'm looking to mount an accessory on there and looking for the exact dimensions. Thanks

Hi All.

Owned my 2500 for a little over two weeks now and its a 1000x more useful to me than when I bought it.

What I've done in those two weeks:
Bought tonneau cover
Front windows tinted
AVS wind deflector things installed
Floorboards installed
Husky X-act liners installed

Spent the entire day yesterday doing some paint correction on the beast. Not a flat panel on this truck. Grr. There was a good number of scuffs on the passenger side from what looked like driving in to a tree line of some sort. There are some through scratches on the roof that I may take to get touched up as well.

Ran compound, polish, hybrid wax and a cerakote sealant. I will likey not use the cerakote again. It was too expensive for what it is, and will likely get the meguires ceramic spray stuff in the future. Overall, it looks fantastic. It's still a 65k mile truck with various imperfections but cest la vie.

Next week is rust proofing, I've got a underbody pressure washer attachment that I'll get it cleared out before the rust proofing appointment. It's a california truck with zero rust and I want to keep it that way. From there I need to service the diffs and the transfer case for the 65k service interval and we'll be good for awhile longer.

Added Thinkware 200pro front and rear dash cam and added timer for the engine block heat so it turns on 90min before I leave in the morning.
