I finally was able to get rid of the Patriot for something a bit more fitting for me and the family. We needed more space and the ability to tow things like a camper and trailer with our motorcycles on it.
I've been looking for a truck for a while and really liked the new RAMS.
Last week I picked up a brand new 2016 RAM 1500. It's not super loaded but has everything I wanted, plus a little extra. So it's not stripped down either. It has way more features than my Patriot did. I haven't been this happy driving something around since my GTO.
5.7L Hemi
8spd Trans
4 Doors
Trailer Hitch
Backup Camera
Bluetooth for the phone
I plan on keeping it fairly stock as it's the family wagon and our toys hauler.
I am getting nef bars with step. I hate full running boards.
Also:
Exhaust
CAI
Tune
Tint the windows in the next few weeks.

Congrats man! Looks good! When does the tint go in?

ASAP. When I do these I need to also get my fiances mini copper s done at the same time. I'm hoping to land a decent deal to get it all done. I haven't even looked around yet.

Where and how much?

It was the make or break for the deal on the truck. I asked the dealer to toss that (LINEX) in and I would sign. After some back and forth they agreed to make the deal happen. They have an outside company the truck will go to.

Nice, I didn't even try to get that thrown in with how badly my wife beat up the dealer. I think I'm taking mine to [MENTION=2616]Chester Copperpot[/MENTION]'s place.

Bad ass. I love hearing positive things like this. I have another friend that has had his for some years. Put well over 100K on it and hasn't had any issues.
As for the tune, you can get them now. A shop can toss it on the rollers and do it, or you can get a hand held and plug it in with preset ones. They are not to expensive either.

[MENTION=3061]Lead Pipe[/MENTION] knows of tuning for the RAM's through the current model year. I believe the name of the company is Hemi Fever, but he will have to confirm.

From what I remember him saying, an aftermarket throttle body and this tune wakes these trucks the fuck up.
