The resonator and pipe hanging behind the wheel in the passenger side rear wheelwell. Ugly!

...oh, and let's not forget the manual. Biggest waste of 700 odd pages I've ever come across. Never seems to have the info I'm looking for!

I have the CD player and I have never used it. I don't miss CDs at all with streaming music from my phone.
I think CD's have better sound quality than streaming, but only slightly. I just hate having to deal with them. Although, I grew up in the 8-track and cassette era, so CD's were definitely an improvement over those.

I have the cd player in my 14 RT. It's a great option but I have had the same CD in it for over a year as I don't carry them in the truck

I ripped all my cds to high quality mp3s and uploaded what would fit to the hard drive. A lot of the CD players, if you have the first infotainment also play DVDs.

Some services have lossless streaming format now. I don't think I can hear the difference myself, but I can tell the difference between plugged in vs bluetooth in my Camaro.

1) Choice of nicer quality interior fabric and more interior colors would be nice.

2) I agree with the "fix" the long-standing issues remarks: Hemi tick, Exh manifolds, leaks.

3) Better rustproofing in typical rust-prone areas.

I saw the other day, a brand new 2500 plain-jane Ram 4x4 RC 8' box, with 6.4L ...on a dealer lot stickered at $51k before any incentives. Made in Mexico. I thought that was pretty reasonable for a new V8 4x4 full-sized 3/4T truck these days. Yeah it was basic, but still.....
