New to Ram - Central NY

[RookieDDZ]

Hey all,
Been lurking here for a few months as I have been deciding on a new vehicle. Inventory has been low, but dealer lots seem to start getting in shipments. I found one that is "In Transit" and I should get it soon. Figured I would post now, test my signature, and start adding content with the rest of you all.

Care to share just a little more information, like which version and any plans for it ? Also welcome to the forum...

Congrats on the truck, I’m sure you’ll love it. I just hope you don't have the problems me and others are having with ours. What are you coming from for a vehicle now?

Welcome to the forum and congratulations!!

Pls add your truck's vitals to your signature when you have a moment.
This makes it easier for other folks to help in case you have questions or concerns about your vehicle.

Thanks for the tips guys. sig is updated.

I'm coming from a 2015 Subaru Outback, which was my second Outback. And my wife is on her second Subaru Legacy. This will be a big change, no pun intended. But I'm excited.

I heard the truck hit the dealer yesterday. So I may get it earlier than I thought. I'm sure you guys know, but once the "Search Inventory" section of the website shows "In Transit", that is about a 1-2 weeks before it hits the dealer. At least in the north-east region.

First items I'm adding are Rear Wheel Well Liners. Then a Gator EFX Tri-Fold, once it goes on sale. I have a list thanks to this forum!

Are you going to have them install the wheel well liners before you pick it up ?

I'm leaning towards just doing it myself. I enjoy working on my toys, and I read here some dealers just slap them on over the existing half liners. Plus I found that great thread about doing it, super easy.

Rear wheel house liners

My 2019 ram 1500 Laramie didn't come with rear wheel house liners. I'm debating getting them , only cause my 2016 ram had them. What ended up happening is the salt would actually get trapped between the liner and the fender and it started to rust. I got rid of the truck even though ram said they...

I'm new to this dealer, so it could be a good test....

I'd recommend the Gator Quad fold...I have one and it's great. With the Quad fold you can prop all of the panels up for full bed access.... can't do that with a triFold.

Bed liner...? I did the Herculiner myself....I don't recommend it lmao!

Welcome and congratulations on your new truck

The truck comes with the Bed Utility Group (BUG), so it has the spray in bed liner. Hoping it will last.

Nice, didn't see that. Looks like it is the Gator FX. You can drive with that propped up, sweet!

Yep! Costs a little more but worth it.

I'm on the North side, close to the lake.
I saw your post of your truck, real nice. My dealer is getting my truck from Fox and I saw your truck online when I was looking. That is a sharp color.

 

[Jeff B]

Yeah Fox only had a couple hydro blue trucks on their lot, one warlock and a couple other quad cabs left . Dealer said trucks are flying off the lots

 

[RookieDDZ]

Well team, here it is. Got it last night and it is great. Ventilated seats are amazing!

First add-on is the Gator cover, which will be here this week. Ordering Lamin-x yellow fog covers also this week.
