So, my first tank is out of the way!

I've probably got a record amount of posts and reading on this forum for someone who has very little seat time in this generation of Ram. But I'm a researcher and enjoy the process thoroughly.

Honestly, I'm enjoying the crap out of it. I'm skeptical on a few items, as I'll detail in the future, but my thinking is that I'm going to spend a lot of hours behind this Beast.

I promise, I'll create a signature someday, but the highlights are: Big Horn, Crew Cab, 6'4", 3.92's and non-air.

Hand calculated, I got 14.3 mpg on the 3.92's, with a fairly even mix of highway and city. And I didn't go all that easy ;)As seen above, the computer is reading a full mpg above my maths. We'll see how that progresses.

I'm coming from a 2015 Chevy 2500 WT. So a massive upgrade by way of comfort and to some, styling. But that truck just worked. It had 85k on it when sold and not a single issue to date. I towed 10k+ for at least 60k of those miles. I've also got a 2015 1 ton High Country with 120k on it for work. Another towing rig. Again, not a single issue. But for a High Country, it isn't half as nice as my Big Horn. Truthfully.

Big ticket purchases are a huge reflection of myself. I bust my a$$ for my money and like to typically spend it wisely. I know that some of the earlier build dates seem to be riddled with issues, but this is a June build (designed by yours truly) and I'm hoping that I avoid many of which you all have pioneered.

Anyhow. I like it. Enjoy the pictures. They were taken after a long awaited first wash.

Mods to come sooner than later:
-Custom Catch Can
-Full Plasti Dip Exterioe ( :) )
-Lift
-18x35's
-Bed Cap
-moar?

Currently on my first tank as I just took the truck home last night around 11 pm. Add in the hour plus I spent sipping coffee and setting up my infotainment this morning I’d guess I’m in the whole.
