Best New Feature?

[Bdog]

For me it is the large screen in the dash. That thing is huge and no one other than Tesla has anything like it. The interior as a whole is amazing but everyone who has seen the truck can’t stop talking about the screen

 

[Jus Cruisin]

Adaptive cruise for me too. The key part is the stop and go. Using it in rush hour has been life changing

Ha..... What's rush hour?

Just needling ya. I've been retired for 5 years now. I've gotten the hang of it. I did the hour and a half each way commutes for too may years.

Pano sunroof in the Rebel. Ah-mazing. Rear leg room and flat floor, Ah-mazing. New Bilstein off road suspension in the Rebel, Ah-mazing!

I'm gonna pause there because I could go on for hours...

I like this guys attitude. Figures he is Canadian. Hello from USA. I dig the pano sunroof too.

My favorite feature over the 4th gen is that their are now 5 knobs to control radio/hvac as opposed the 3 knobs. I hated having to use the touch screen to change settings other than fan speed. Everybody else is all the high-tech features, a close second for me is a backup camera again. 2017 JKU didn’t have it. Didn’t know how bad I missed it.

I've been leaving my truck at the airport for the past few weeks Monday thru Friday and when I come back on that Friday I just love the smell of that leather on my Limited.

I also really like the lights that turn on when you turn.

What do you guys think is the best new 5th Gen feature?

IMO it's gotta be the Surround View Camera.

I use it all the time... Even when I don't need it. Like most of US, this ain't my first truck and I can parallel park my Ram into spot people in Hondas pass up, but I use the camera system anyway because it's fun. Love the accuracy of it.

My 13 didn't have any front sensors and with that sport hood, I'd find myself parking 12-18 inches from the front wall. Now, with surround view.... I'm 3 inches so my tail isn't sticking out.

Electronic parking brake. I got tired of that archaic push pedal. I found it hard to believe that my 18 Charger 392 still had it.

But seriously, it is a nice feature.

Do the new rams have the auto hold feature ? So like if you’re at a light you don’t have to hold the break pedal. I had that feature in a rental a few weeks ago and really liked it .

Love this thread! Not sure where to start, do I have to choose just one?
1. Couldn’t decide, ACC or surround view!
2. 12” screen and all its functions
3. Power running boards
4. Rear seat room (although I’m never back there)
5. Pano roof
6. I could go on and on, I’ll stop now.

 

[19RamLimited]

My favorite things are below.. they really are what made me suck it up and buy a 19 in the first place.

Power deploy Boards
12" screen
Interior as a whole is just great.
Pano Roof
LED headlights
rear floor being flat
Additional leg room in rear
Surround view camera is fantastic
Quality of the image from the camera is great.

Quiet cabin, if you choose. Road trip conversations sound more like you are with friends in a library rather than at the bar.

Unfortunately, they do not. That's about the one thing I miss the most on my Mercedes.

Please share more of the lights that turn on when turning..... as well does anyone know where to read up on the LED Headlights for the Limited. I would like to know more about the cornering Dynamic AFS Bi LED ?

The owner's manual is a good place to start.

you are absolutely correct, yet the owners manual shares nothing of what I was asking about.

 

[dutchman187]

Tie for top two for me.

Rear seat leg room and air suspension. Without those two things, I wouldn't be in a RAM, regardless of all the other (very nice!) features.

EDIT to say: I know air suspension isn't new to the 5th gen. So I guess it would be the rear leg room. I drove an 18 last year and just didn't like the feel in the backseats at all. Was blown away by 19 rear leg room, as have been every passenger I've had inside.

 

[Rustydodge]

Best new features from my wife's perspective: panoramic sunroof and safety features
Best new features from my perspective: flat rear floor, more crew cab space, 360 camera
Best class exclusive features: continuation of Rambox option, etorque

All spoken in future tense, since i don't have a 5th gen yet.

Not much info on the cornering lights, they turn up to 15 degrees (it's printed on the light housing).

Cheers,

Thank you Sir.... Tell me do you have a link to the electronic version of our manuals? The link I have and have downloaded does not have any mention of the "Steering Directed Lights" and the the section you highlighted for the fog lamps is incomplete as well. Are there various versions of the Owners Manual ??
