Well I picked up the truck yesterday. I'd say it's been a long wait, 4 months, but I know many have waited longer and some are still waiting so I'm not complaining.
I'm coming out of 4 straight GM LTZ or High Country trucks so I've grown used to bells and whistles. Both my wife and I agree the first impression of the Ram is that it is very well done. Being a Limited truck, it's got everything we need, everything we want and then some. We just drove it home yesterday since it had a piece of cardboard taped to the back window but so far we just feel like the interior is more well appointed than the GM's we've had. When my wife even is even making those comments, someone has done something right!
Things I've already noticed are:
1. Visibility is much better than the '21 GM
2. I can see over the mirrors, eliminating 2 huge blind spots
3. I like the placement of some of the controls better
4. The center console seems to be more well thought out
5. Power ports seem to be everywhere so hopefully we won't be constantly searching for another place to plug something in
6. I think the ability to create a flat rear floor will come in handy at times. No idea why GM couldn't come up with that
I know there's more, that's just some things that come to mind right away.
One thing that I do need to address, does anyone know how to defeat that damnedable fasten seat belt chime? That is one thing that GM did right. It gave you a warning but didn't continue to annoy the hell out of you.
All in all, seems like a great truck and definitely an upgrade. We'll know more about towing in about a week. I'm sure it'll be fine.
