Not strictly a new member, but after 2.5 years driving a (cough, cough) Silverado 2.7L turbo, I'm very glad to be back in a RAM! Wanted to share a pic of my new ride 
This is my 2025 Base Tradesman with 3.6L Pentastar V6. The only factory options are Hydro Blue and 3.55 rear axle. I needed a 6 seater and wanted Hydro Blue, so this was what I ended up with after searching around dealers. I can't believe how nice even the base model of these trucks are now! The interior is so well appointed (WAY better than the outdated '22 Silverado Custom interior I had) and has everything I need. Of note, I really like the "work grade" vinyl seats a lot more than I thought I would - they are super comfortable, not overly hot from experience so far, and look great. Mods I have done are:
* Swapped the stock steel wheels for 20" Bighorn Black Wheels w/white outline 275/55/20 tires
* Gatorback HD mudflaps front and rear (these were dealer installed)
* iBoard (IPS) black aluminum running boards (these are great and only $279 CAD - an absolute bargain IMHO)
* Black series tri-fold soft tonneau cover
* APS black bug deflector
* PPF on the front and rear black bumpers, and 24" hood line
