Wife and I just spent an hour sitting in the new truck. Major culture shock changing from my 2001 to the 2022. She's more tech facinated than I am, so helped me figure out some stuff.

Overall first impressions....
It's taller than I remember the 2021 Limited 3500 that I test drove being.
WOW.
Dealer didn't put in the 5th wheel prep pucks but they were in the cab. Not a big deal.

One item, I was going to have them put on the mopar molded splash guards, but the sales guy noticed that for the rear ones, you either have to trim the existing little trim piece or remove it. Hey @rockman88 was that your experience? I passed for today, figure I can buy and put them on later and just wanted to get on my way.

I hadn’t heard any of this! I got a score sitting above 800, what’s the length?

I chose 48 months with 30k down. Around 41% down.
He tried to hose me I guess lol. This forum is a blessing and a curse for them. They get a lot of business but can’t play tricks on anyone because everyone is sharing everything.

I'm a major fan of the Mopar HD splash guards. I've had them on the last 4 trucks I've bought.

Beautiful truck! Congratulations .

Hey [mention]Grizzly Dave [/mention] No trimming needed. Installed by dealer in < 10 minutes.

Mine is a SRW 4x4 though not sure if that makes a difference or not.

Interesting...sales guy brought them out and between both of us agreed that the existing trim piece would need trimmed or to be removed. I need to take a closer look to see if maybe removing it would be the most straight forward way of doing it. Someone on here installed their own, might have to search that up and ask them. But for now, dang it, there's an errand that needs to be run.....I volunteer!

That's an awesome truck right there...... Congratulations! I heard they seem taller than previous models, but no one has been able to take a tape or ruler and prove it. I've been curious about the ground clearance from the bottom of the rocker panel to the ground because my 4'10" wife has short legs...... I think it just might be tall enough to keep her on the ground..... LOL

Does anyone know if a 35x12.5x20 tire fit without rubbing issues with no level kit or anything? I want to put on the toyo at3 in that size but wondering they will rub?

Here’s another one, the highlighted license fee jumped out at me. Anyone else notice that? WTH is that? I caught it and stopped signing paperwork. Wasn’t there on my original order preview.
