There seems to be quite a few threads about what's your biggest complaint on your truck and sporadic threads on specific options and if they're worth it. Curious, of all the optional equipment you have which one are you most glad you got?

For me, it's definitely the advanced safety group. We have a 2016 Subaru Forester with their eyesight system and the RAM system is substantially better. The adaptive cruise sees quite far down the road and is much less abrupt and panicky. Makes optimizing parking a breeze with sensors and 360 cam. The forward collision braking has already saved me once from rear ending an F150 that stopped suddenly while I was distracted. I know some folks have had gripes about it but it's not given me any issues yet.

There are so many to choose from but I will second your choice of the Advanced Safety Group. Having had those features on other vehicles, I didn't hesitate to order the option on my Ram.

For me, they are the features that I didn't think I needed or would like:
- adaptive cruise control: this has done the most to make my commute less stressful. Instead of constantly having to adjust speed when following someone who varies their speed a lot, now the truck takes care of that for me. It even does stop and go. Love that feature.
- air suspension: Didn't think it would make a big difference in daily use, but when comparing it against our 2014 Ram 1500 (which I still drive sometimes), the ride is so much smoother with the air suspension. It's one of those things you won't want to do without once you've experienced it

Never had a truck this nice, so everything is heaven.
Right now, the heated leather seats are awesome.
Using the backup camera with the air suspension when I connect and disconnect my trailer is fun to play with. Though not really necessary.

Multi Function tailgate. By far the option that has made the most positive impact in my daily living with the truck.

In order:
1. RamBox
2. Cooled seats (it's Texas)
3. Air Suspension (I can rodeo off road and still fit in a parking garage - game changer)
4. Heated seats/steering wheel (it gets cold in Texas)

Remote start and air ride. Coming from a `97 expedition, this is alien tech!

Glad I specked the LED lights on my big horn, I think it give it a more premium look and night time visibility is very good.

Ramboxes and panoramic sunroof. Ramboxes just so darn handy, and sunroof makes cabin feel bigger and I love the extra light.
