Purchased on 2/19/22. Traded in white Bighorn. I wanted leather ventilated seats and cross path detection as well as a better Alpine stereo. Bak flip tonneau. AVS bug and window vents. Mopar bed step and grab handle are on the way. Spray in bedliner and Mopar black running boards installed since purchase. View attachment 122479 View attachment 122478 View attachment 122477

It is easily to find made by mopar. Goes in the cab for you to grab onto when using the bed step
Okay, I see. It goes in the rear corner of the bed, not the cab. That wouldn't be helpful for me because I just grab onto the top of the bed rail.
In PA we refer a grab handle as a "Oh Sh!t Bar" for when you are 4 wheeling.
This is the first truck I've had in a long time that doesn't have an "oh sh!t bar". I like the A-pillar handles in the Ram, but they aren't a good substitute for an oh sh!t bar.

Ok I just went to install it. If you have a tonneau cover it will not work. You are not warned by the seller that this will be a problem. Beware. I am returning the one I bought

I'm really surprised at how few Southwest editions are out there. Mostly all I see are the Sport or Night Edition. I'm hoping mine arrives at the dealer this week. Can't wait to get it!! Then maybe I can get back to my normal life and stop obsessing on this website!! I might actually get some work done. LOL

Southwest Edition is easily the best package available on any trim level, but I get why some might want the appearance options you get with the Sport or Night Edition.

Life never goes back to normal. You'll just start obsessing over your truck and what you can do with it lol.

Isn't that only available in Texas and maybe a couple neighboring states? Probably why there's so few of them.

With the number of trucks being delivered to Mark Dodge, I expect the numbers to keep going up on them.

So glad to finally be able to post my truck here. Drove it home from MD on Tuesday. Spent yesterday recovering from the 18 hours of driving and oogling and drooling over my new truck. There is no comparing this truck to anything I have owned in the past. Drives like a dream and the luxuriousness is unbeatable. Quite a different drive back than my drive down with a 2012 F250 Lariat.
