When braking, at the point the truck speed goes down below 15mph, the factory trailer brake controller releases (or significant reduces) the trailer brakes. The manual slider still works, but it’s not an optimal setup.
Depends on how the order is booked. Normal orders get you the rebates current at time of delivery. Orders booked as “Order Protected”, get you the larger of rebates at time of sale, or rebates at time of delivery. Dealers can place only so many OP orders, dealer specific as I understand.
Doesn't the RamBox decrease the width of the truck bed?
It really depends on what you load into your truck bed. Like 1ramrunner said, the available space in the rambox bed is what is between the wheel wells. If you regularly load things that take up the space in front of, over, and behind the wheel wells you'll probably not want to select this option. I find that I don't miss that space, and instead prefer to utilize most of what is lost as covered, lockable storage. The other concerns are with bed covers. There are tonneau covers which work with the rambox bed, but the selection is less than for the regular bed. Also, if you want to use a topper (canopy) you're pretty much out of luck. I have yet to see one which allows you to open the ramboxes without removing or raising the topper.
... add the MFT !!! I use it 90% of the time I use the tailgate.
I gotcha, but I'm trying to eliminate things I don't really need to keep the price down lol. Plus I'm not a fan of the look.
I think you'd change your opinion of the MFT if you were to use it. Besides that, I get that you're trying to keep costs down, and I'm not trying to talk you into spending more on your truck. But I've been in this game for a long time, and saving a little bit of money by settling for something like a brand new vehicle that you didn't get everything you really wanted leaves me longing after the newness wears off. Especially if I could have actually afforded it but wanted to save money. I'm not a fan of how my warped rambox lids look either, but I will buy them again because of how much I use them.
Agreed...you also get much better tires with the ORG than you get without it. It's not just about shocks.
I guess you might be right about the level 2 package. I just looked at it and noticed there's only 4 things extra and that's the HK sound system, 8.4" Nav, Heated 2nd row seats and rear under seat storage. Maybe you're right and that's not worth an extra $2k. I could probably install my own sound system for $1k and have live map updates as they happen instead of paying $200 to update maps using the Ram Nav. Definitely something to think about.
It really depends on what you might haul. I'm happy with the shorter bed. If I need to haul longer stuff I drop the tailgate and use the rambox bed extender. I haven't had an issue with the shorter bed length in the 10 or so years I've been driving trucks with them..
What is it about the Night Edition that makes you want it so bad? You can get the Sports Appearance package and Level 1. That would save you about $2k off getting the Night Edition and Level 2 packages.
I love the look of the black on white the Night Edition gives. I was initially looking at the Sports Appearance package and noticed I was seeing them everywhere.
