Also the truck does not have OWL on tires which most Sports do.

When I got mine my dealer asked me if I wanted it de-badged, I told them no but thought it was interesting they asked. I know some people do enjoy the look. Great looking truck though.

No need to contact Dodge and wait..... just go here and you'll see what the build sheet looks like.

Just go to the "Your Vehicle" tab on the left side and select Equip Listing.

Just have Chrysler send you a build sheet and you'll know how it came from the factory.

This might be a dumb question and I might have missed it somewhere but did you buy it used?

Thanks for the link. Interesting to read. Couple of questions if anybody can help;
1) What are "Active Grill Shutters"
2) It says my truck is NAV Capable and GPS Antenna Input. My understanding in Canada you can not get NAV or GPS from U-Connect, is this correct? If this is correct then they should get on it. My Chevy has On-Star and I love it. Would be nice to have the same support in the Dodge.

I travel 14 hours each way to work every 2 weeks. That is why I wanted a vehicle with lots of comforts. This one has those and I love them all. I am working in Northern Alberta and I am really looking forward to the heated seats and steering wheel in the -35c winters.

1. Shutters right behind your grill that open and close as your truck requires them to...you will never even notice them.
2. 8.4A has to have NAV put on by the dealer, not sure about canada but it's about $600 here in the states

Very cool, I had no idea you could order a truck de-badged. Neat!

I kinda like the chrome badging on the side of mine, goes well with and sets off the black well I think. But they look cool de-badged too.

Grill shutters are included with the 8 speed transmission package, they will open and close as the need to to manage engine temperature. They also close up on the highway to increase fuel economy, not sure if that part works if you don't have the air suspension though. My truck with air suspension goes into "Aero Mode" at highway speed, truck lowers itself 1/2" and closes up the shutters to increase fuel economy. It's like star wars shit! Lol

As for NAV and Uconnect, the NAV system works anywhere Canada, USA whatever. Nav has nothing to do with Uconnect apart from the voice command system that controls it in the truck. The Uconnect system on the other hand, or the part of it that is like Onstar, that doesn't work in Canada yet. Supposed to be something in the works using Rogers as a carrier but nothing has happened as of yet.
