i changed a few things on my original order and the dealer was not sure it would work so we reordered and both trucks will arrive soon. 1 has 33 gal tank the other has 23 gallon and trailer steering. I thought I ordered it on the first truck but I didn’t now I have to decide what truck I want
Adding a trailer brake controller is a lot cheaper, and easier, than adding the 33 gallon option later.

Easy decision 23g < 33g tank

Thank you now I have a decision take the truck with the trailer steering or the 33 gallon tank…
I'd go for both of them if you're going to tow a lot. Trailer steering isn't a requirement, but it sure is convenient.

Is this an either or decision? Or just a regret for not getting the 33 gallon fuel tank? I was able to chose both for my Laramie.
Nope. I order mine with a 33gal tank and the trailer tow group. But if I had TY choose only one, I'd definitely go with the 33-gal tank.

Lol they don’t make a diesel GT
I know, right?! Lol. He seemed smart to begin with, but now I'm wondering. Lol

But with the help and info I've gotten from this group, apparently I've become somewhat of a rebel expert as a couple FB groups I'm in have elevated me to expert status.... whatever that means. Lol

I see the new 3.0 Turbo I-6 has gone in to production, any word on hp/torque specs?
I wanted to make sure the Hemi was still available so I ordered a new one this year. I was hoping to keep my ecodiesel longer but I suspect the Hemi will be eliminated eventually.

It might make more power, but Nothing sounds like a V8…

The 3.6 V6 in my Colorado is a great motor. It pulls hard, gets great mileage and is pretty bulletproof, but it sounds horrible. It’s one of the reasons I started looking at full size trucks, and the Ford turbo wasn’t even on my radar…

My old 2009 Ram 1500 Laramie Hemi was loud and obnoxious, but I loved that truck. Kept it for 11 years until I sold it to my brother in law. It's still going strong.

Thanks for the update Triple B and all that you do. I was surprised that a build sheet was generated today seeing that we are between Christmas and New Years. From what I read I thought there was a plant shutdown with only volunteers working. Based on having a build sheet do you think the truck is actually on the production line?
Build sheet means it's built. Production is operating at roughly half capacity during the shutdown.

I guess I am getting one of the last trucks built in 2021. I wonder if the plant running half capacity means less shifts or a slower production line.
