I have to admit that after seeing the new grilles I'm a little more nervous to see the 5th gens than I am excited. Still excited to see the next generation of Ram though, don't get me wrong.:smiley_thumbs_up:

22" wheels on a truck... C'mon!! :4-looney:
Don't the Denalis come with 22" wheels?

So are you going to pull the trigger on a '16, or have you still not warmed up to the shift knob?

what exactly would a "full length premium upgraded floor" entail?

I have put off ordering the 2015 models as you know

So my current plan, which is subject to change ......
after i return from my Connecticut vacation, (July 21 or 22nd through sometime in late August)

I will be ordering a 2016 Ram 1500 Eco-diesel, SLT or Bighorn, QC, 2x4, 3.21 differential If its available, 8.4AN radio, brake controller & Class 4 hitch reciever, 20" wheels, Sport bumpers, tow hooks, cloth & leather bucket seats w/ full floor console
Hopefully they will have brought back either Sunburst Orange Pearl or Copperhead Pearl paint, or i will consider having it repainted
I will have the bed sprayed by Line-X after it is delivered to the dealership
I will be checking on having it sent to Argus, they do what is called Upfitting, i want some clean looking electrical connectors in the bed, that are controlled by switches in the cab.
My '09 modified N-Fab steps will go onto the new Ram
Hopefully my radiator protector will be interchangeable too

I may order a CD player & get some kind of radio function Unlocker from NavTV or Coastal, for watching movies & having more then just the tailgate camera.

My '09 Ram will get sold outright, after i get the new Ram setup & driven a bit
I will also be selling my 30 gallon auxiliary gas tank, i won't need it with the eco-diesel

I may end up using my '09 front bumper on the new Ram, because the Fog Lights are set horizontally into the bumper, it casts a wider beam of light then the vertically mounted ones do, i hope they are interchangeable :4-dontknow:

It is to bad you haven't thought this out very well :LOL: Kidding of course will be nice to see what way it goes for you!! Glad to hear you are staying with Ram as a couple of years ago you weren't totally decided if you would be in a new Ram were you?

Well, the rotary shifter knob is a turn off for me, but i will get used to it or get it modified some how
I will be mounting a hand rest of some sort onto the floor console, i rest my right elbow & forearm on the upper part of console on the log trips that i take, so i need some place to rest my hand close to where the CB microphone sits, i use the CB almost as much as i use the mirrors while on a job.

I would also like to see Ram go with the paddle shifter steering wheel controls, i do manually shift quite often while on a job & with the paddles it would be so much easier, especially on night runs :)

According to arifleet site Rams will be available in ignition Orange sometime in the near future.

this is burnt orange, sunburst orange, & close to copperhead orange
this is the color that i now have & i can be spotted easily, other colors don't stick out as well. like the grey Ram could be hard to spot in traffic
