Congratulations! Good looking truck (knowing that one isn't your actual truck)!

 

Thank you sir! I appreciate that.
Yes, it's very similar to the one in the photos, minus the truck bed.

 

Looks like my truck is getting built this week.

 

Got the update on my new Ram truck.
It is in KZ status right now. Truck is enroute to the dealership. "Possible" delivery next week!

 

Sorry to hear you got a Ram Tony :P

Congrats though! Those were my #3 option behind the F-150 and GMC Sierra. Every time I hear one drive by with an exhaust on feel mad and I wish I had looked for a V8 instead of settling with the Ecoboost. They sound freaking fantastic! What options did you get?

 

HA HAAAAAAAAAAAA

I added 9 options;........Trailer hitch, single cd player, rear sliding window, 3.92 gears, limited slip differential, sport performance hood, spray in bedliner, remote start, and the 8.4 inch Uconnect Navigation.
This is my first vehicle with remote start and navigation. I usually wouldn't go for either, but the convenience of the remote starter in the winter will help out a lot. The navigation, I will probably rarely use, unless I need it of course. I just added it since it wasn't much of an add on.

 

I am surprised, that was one quick order. I expected it to take longer. Congrats!

Post pictures!

 

Thanks Steve!
I know right? It's only been a little over a month so far. The CEO of the company I work for bought his very first truck, a Ram, from the same dealership. He got his early. They told him about 6-8 weeks as well till delivery.
I will post pics when I get it.

 

I love the remote start in my F150. Since it has dipped into the 40's I start it up for about 5 minutes and let the butt warmers heat up the seats a bit. Very nice feature

 

YES!!!
That's about 50% of the reason why I bought a new truck. And for the heated steering wheel as well.

 

Last check on my truck,......half way here. Currently located in Illinois. So, it could be late this week or next week.

 

What's a CD player?

 

LOL
I know, right?? I went back and forth on it. It's hidden in the center console compartment.

 

LOL, the other day i accidentally hit play on my truck cd player and WHOA! there was a disc in there i hadn't listened to for a year. the same disc that i'd pulled out of my older truck just prior to my trade in haha.

i never use discs anymmore. bluetooth ftw

 

HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Awesome.
Yeah,....I'll be using a thumbdrive more than likely. Load it up, and just leave it in the truck.

 

i used to use thumb drives but i really get into my music when i leave the house and head to the gym. the bluetooth audio is smooth on my samsung. since my headphones are also bluetooth i can continue the same playlist when i leave the car and hit the weights.

 

There ya go Darren.
I have a dungeon, I mean gym equipment at home, so I punish the body here.

 

As I read this I was thinking Jeep and heck you were thinking the same thing also. I was thinking used though not new. If not a jeep then I would suggest a AWD lexus of some sort. With that said I'm going to go read the rest of this thread now.

 

well there it tis

 

Glenn,......I was really into the Jeep SRT, but I thought about it for a long while. It's AWD, not 4X4. 4X4 is A LOT better than AWD in the snow. My truck is a beast in the snow. Not to say that AWD isn't good in the snow, but 4X4 is stronger.
Reason number 2,.....there's always a new Mustang coming out, and the Ram 1500 is a lot more inexpensive than the Jeep SRT, so I can possibly get a new Mustang when the truck is paid off. Which, hopefully won't be too long.

(I'm really digging the S550 Roush Stage 3 cars now. Hated the S550 cars when they first came out. Eating crow now. lol By the time I finish paying the truck off, the phase 3 kit should/will be available. I'll take the Stage 3 car with the phase 3 kit please.
Anything can happen/change in that time, but that's the plan.
