The only option's I spec'd besides powertrain was the convenience package so the guys have cruise and power locks as well as rubber floors an a spray in liner. The trucks were around 33k all said and discounted IIRC.
Holy fuck was I picturing something different for what I thought would be a stripped model.
- Large touch screen display, with apple car play and wifi (The last Rams I ordered have a tiny non touch screen)
- Really nice backup cam on said screen vs in the mirror
- Freakin power opening tailgate that barely weighs a thing to put up
- 120v Power plug in the bed which is an idea I'm shocked I never thought would be smart. If it can run our small seam welder it eliminates the need to bring a generator on small repair jobs
Main thing I notice is the interior (rubber floor aside) doesn't feel "base". Its all black vs the grey and black combo's I'm used to. The cloth on the seats actually feels pretty good and the seats are comfortable. The toggles are all really nice and there's actually some chrome/polish bits. Also a lack of "blank button" syndrome.
Honestly kinda bewildered. These things feel as nice as some of the LT/SLT level trucks we've gotten in past.
