Don’t know, I use my heated seats in the warm weather on occasion. It’s great on my back, which isn’t bad but it enjoys the heat.

I just got back from a month in lower Alabama and my rental had memory heated seats, so they only turned off if I turned them off. Otherwise where they were when you shut the car off is where they were when you turned it on. It was kinda nice and I kept them on low for almost the entire time.

If you’re not in a hurry the 25’s are supposed to get the new 8 speed trans.

GVWR is for marketing and meaningless number just about everywhere. Don’t exceed your axle ratings and call it good.

For example in Idaho the only place it’s mentioned in the statutes is in the glossary. There is no weight law that utilizes GVWR. Every state I’ve researched is similar.

Ram could, and should, up the GVWR of the 2500 without changing anything about the truck. They are simply trying to stay within the Class II vehicle market, but Ford and GM have made their 2500’s Class III which is good for most but also detrimental for some commercial application.

My focus was on CCC, i.e. payload capacity not GVWR.
 
Rear under floor storage bins. They free up valuable room under my rear seats and door pockets. It’s usually just stuff I think I may need some where down the line.

Payload is GVWR minus curb weight, which is why it plays a factor in the discussion.

The true carrying capacity is the axle weights, and that's what's more important in the states where I've researched the weight statues.
 
Well I don’t have must have’s. I have must NOT have’s like.
-sun roof
-12” screen
I never open sunroofs as I hate the light above me while driving and prefer the knobs buttons and dials as touch screens are slow to use and distracting while driving. Also suck if they stop working and your whole truck is relying on it to stay functional. I find too many options are rarely used so try to stay middle of the road.
 
Thanks everyone for the replies we ended up ordering one through Mark Dodge and are currently waiting for it to be built.
