Finish this sentence: "If I had it all to do over again with my Ram 1500, I would _______________."

One of my biggest requirements was NO chrome

5th gens look so much better without. I didn’t want to look at a 5th gen until I see one without chrome.

Having just bought my 2019 two days ago it was good to see that no one answered this question saying they wish they’d bought an F-150 in hind sight.

I tried, we were 1000 apart so I went with the ram, but after all the problems I’ve had. The ford might have been the better choice even at 1000 more????

Sharp truck chrome is dated

At the time I ordered my truck I thought the days of heavy towing were behind me. Now, I'm back with a trailer and a tractor. So I wish I had ordered the Trailer Brake Controller. Other than that I would keep everything the same.

I purchased a 2016 express quad cab with lots of regrets. Got a 2019 crew cab Laramie level 1 w/ramboxes. I could have lived with bighorn level 2 and led premium light group, but that is hard to find and almost as much. I wish I would have got one in patriot blue and jury still out on having a 3.92 rear end. I'm down 1 mpg from the 2016, but my commute changed to back roads from interstate. Would have taken an etorque, but the 2019 Hemi etorque were rare and the price increase didn't justify the pay off. I'm curious the long term cost vs fuel savings of etorque if the battery pack has to be replaced.

So in short the only change I would make would to have purchased what I wanted the first time.

At least that part can be added!

after just reading this entire thread I'm surprised how many like myself would want the multi-function tailgate. (didn't think it would be this popular) But in 05/18 that was not even a thought probably not even a rumor. I think ill have to settle for a bed slide and hope that solves some of my issues.
Other than that no regrets, got every option available at the time just so I don't have regrets.

 

[ny2az]

love everything about my truck ... shes been a great truck from the start ... one thing l would definitely get the 3.92 gears have the 3.21 ... and possibly the barn doors

 

[Mustangmike66]

I would have not bought it and got a 3/4 ton truck.

I think the only thing I wish I had gotten was the larger fuel tank. I love this truck!

 

[robrob]

Agree on the fuel tank! Coming from the smaller Ecoboost with the 36 gallon extended tank, my f150 would go like over 550 miles on a full tank.

otherwise, wouldn't change a thing. (MFT seems cool, but didn't want to have to deal with finding a custom carpet place to modify a bedrug)
love this truck.

 

[Chris_R]

I would not have bought it. I would have kept my 2006 1500.

I would not have bought it. I would have kept my 2006 1500.

I would have stuck with my 15 Silverado, a lot less problems!

 

[Wakesnowb]

If I had to do it all over again, I would change nothing.

 

[805myth1]

My only thing is, I wish I would have gotten it for just myself. But I needed a new work truck.

 

[yankeefan31569]

wish i asked the dealer to spray the bed w Line-X and rear wheel liners to close the deal, never came to my mind while at the dealer.

 

[Rollint]

I would've gone eco diesel and short bed rather than hemi and 6'4" bed

 

[Jeffjad]

....I would get the 33 gal tank. With a lift, 35s and towing a boat I feel like I live at the gas station

 

[Nickjansen]

I would have gotten towing features individually and not gotten RIPPED OFF by paying extra on the tow package which deletes much more money in features. *cough 360 camera, power folding cough*
