Beautiful Truck! But why does Ram insist on putting those ugly shark fin antennas between the clearance lights and not centered on at back of cab like they use to be?
Really messes with my OCD! lol I guess they are saving money on 3 foot of wire! lol

3 feet over a few hundred thousand trucks… might save a couple bucks

Clearance ????

Its a game of inches in garages now days. The fin (if centered) would stick up farther than anything else on the roof. They offset on the slope to make it even across the deck

There's also the possibility RAM engineers know a thing or two, like some owners will drop a truck camper in the bed and the overhang will block the antenna.

I was told by a dealer few years ago that it was because people pulling big 5thwheel campers complained loosing signal when towing. How true idk but I have heard it more then once that why the HD trucks have it ths5 way and half tons don’t

How does it ride compared to your 2500? Significantly worse?

No. Not significantly. It is a bit rougher and I can feel the weight more, but not uncomfortable. I think the air bags help. However, the tire pressures in the rear are at 80psi, fronts at 65psi. Was delivered that way and I didn't air then down, so I know it would ride better with lower psi in the rear. Gonna air the rears down today. Overall, even at those pressures, on the long stretch it was smooth and tracked straight at 80mph. Not the slightest disappointed or wanting more outta this 3500.

Worked with enough aircraft to just overlook antennas. As long as they don’t put a ship mast on my truck To mount them I’m fine.

You all make great points. But it still looks really bad from front view. LOL (just my opinion)
Come on Mopar engineers step it up a notch. I'm #1 Mopar Fan I know you can do it!
Even Fords antennas would look much nicer between the clearance lights. At least both theirs match.

Just dropped off the Pacifica for an oil change at our local dealer, no DRWs on the lot. We took a look at a 2500 Laramie NE listed at $78k, MSRP. A salesman popped out and I was trying to walk off while he did his thing, and we got to talking about my build and why they lost over MSRP… came around to a TRX and my wife commented on the $71k price tag, he said that’s one is actually on sale for $103k.

The 2021 1500 that I have now has it on the back center of the cab and it looks much better.

Valid point.

Ok, got it. That one had me scratching my head.

Saw it for myself, Laramie with the Ram Charger installed. Odd how that’s not listed on the Ram Builder site.

"Ram Charger" is one of the easter eggs.
