I may have missed it, but did we ever find out if there is a 12 pin in the bed as well as on the bumper?

That's has me curious as well for running the wire when using a fifth wheel or gooseneck , probably in the box with the trailer tech group I'm thinking now

We successfully made the drive from Houston to Oregon in the new Ram. A nice young lady from Mark Dodge was waiting with the truck directly outside the Houston Airport baggage claim as we walked out. 3 signatures and we were off. She bid us safe travels and went into the airport.

Now that we’ve put 3,347 miles on the truck, here’s some things I can say about it.

Pros:
-Very Quiet truck all around.

-Aisin shifting is vastly improved compared to our 2013 CCLB 6.7l 68rfe that banged and hunted non stop from day 1.

-12” UC5 worked surprisingly well with the latest B.5 update and only ONE phone connected. (More on this later)

-Comfy seats. Spent 5 days and 3300 miles straight in em, and my rear wasn’t sore. Our 2013 bighorn 2500 with cloth seats would make us sore after a day or two. These new ones are great without needing em broke in.

-Fit & finish was great. No rattles or sloppy build quality, even on those notorious Texas country roads

-Dynamic (moving) headlights (Limited). Whichever way you turn, that individual side headlight turns outward with you, along with that side’s fog light turning on individually, even with the brights on. Winding mountain roads were much easier at night now.

-Lane assist was subtle but worked well.

-Adaptive cruise handled most situations well. It definitely needs refined, as it brakes and accelerates a little harsh at times. Reminded me of a teenage driver. On the open road it made life much easier while following a semi on single lane hwy, or general flow of the interstate. The biggest gap setting is surprisingly large, so you don’t bother people ahead.

-Auto high beams are pretty good and snappy most of the time. I only used em in rural areas, as urban lights freaked em out at times.

-HVAC fan way stronger than our 2013.

-50 gallon tank is a game changer. Averaged 955 miles of range per tank. After the pump clicks u can add an extra gallon real easy. The truck was basically empty when we got it at the airport, and with 10 miles til empty I put 49.4 gallons in it.

Cons:
-Small DEF tank. When the def countdown to 5 mph was at 132 miles left, I could only put 4 gallons in.

-UC5 freezing, crashing, shutting off when 2 phones connected to it on Bluetooth at same time, especially if you try Apple CarPlay. Keep only one phone connected and it never even hiccuped.

-Ride quality. Yes we went with a 3500 w/o bags to tow our farm equipment. It’s not a deal to us that it’s a bouncy rough son of a gun. I just want anyone considering a 3500 w/o factory airbags that isn’t gonna tow, this thing is ROUGH to ride in. Not many babies will sleep while riding with this suspension setup.

Overall we consider the truck a keeper.

(for reference: 2022 Limited level 1, 3500 CCLB 6.7L HO, Patriot Blue, no sunroof, yes BSM.)

Damn. Just realized I didn’t order LED headlight package. Any recommendations on LED bulbs to swap in?

Not sure about LED....I could never get a good beam. I would go HID I use these in my wife's Outback and we love them. Must be 55W pure white 5,000K Search the below on Amazon. You don't need a canbus canceler this is a complete plug and play....just get the correct bulb size.

Innovited 55W AC HID bundle with (1 Pair) Slim Ballast and (1 Pair) Xenon bulb H11 H9 H8 5000K (Pure White)​

Got factory LED's in my current 1500, made sure I got them in my 2500, never going back.

Another one ordered after me built before me…I know I know…people from June still waiting, shut my pie hole.

It may be your Limited build is limited to when its built. Still was not expecting mine to even be built until Jan. As I was told up front, 16 to 24 weeks. My little Big Horn left Custer in the dust.

@OfficerDirtySanchez Please update the tracker, thanks for all that you do!
 
I finally got my window sticker as well! According to Ram Chat I am in the shipping stage. Quick question for anyone who is more familiar with the window stickers. Under the standard external features it shows manual folding mirrors. However, under the options and laramie level A it shows power- heated folding trailer tow mirrors. My build sheet also specified under options power folding mirrors. I just want to make sure I should be getting the power folding mirrors even though under standard it shows manual folding on the window sticker. Thanks!!
