After the last few disappointments my family and I have had with GM, I finally stopped getting the hand me downs from my dad and went buy my first vehicle all by myself since the last hurricane forced my hand.
I may have went off the deep end celebrating my latest promotion at work and got a 2021 1500 limited and I absolutely love it. Its about as basic as a limited can get, only options are the 22's, body color bumpers and the pano roof. I am already putting together a list of things I may want to do with it. If you have any input on the following i would love to hear it:
1- Bed cover - ordered a Bak Revolver x4s
2- Mopar Step - Thinking about adding the kick out step below the driver side bumper.
3- Bed storage - I am considering a decked system. If not then molle panels. I wish i would have found a truck with ram boxes.
4- Exhaust- I'm deciding between the Mopar system, the Borla touring or S type, and the AWE 0FG. Live in a subdivision and the guy in that grey house next door in on the board of directors at my work so don't want to **** him off.
5- Intake- Ether the S&B or Ram flow intake or none. Just want some sound improvements nothing more.
6- Has anyone figured out a way to add the rear vented seats.

I also have a question. is it normal that I can jiggle the 1500 emblems on my hood a little?

Congrats, and welcome! The RAM letters on the front grille being loose is a common problem- I don’t think there’s anything to worry about with that unless you want to push it with a dealer.

Welcome to the Forum
I have the Mopar Exhaust , Mopar Cai , Not too long when leaving at 4 am or 5 in the morning . Had borla touring on my 2019 quad and was not too aggressive. Neither system has any type of drone. As for the cover I have Bak flip MX4. I have the MFT step since I have the multifunction tailgate
Thus I think you’re headed in the right direction
Here is a before and after of what I’ve done to mine

The touring get the low grumble at idle and liven up when you get on it? I don't find videos as helpful as other people's word of mount. Most videos adjust volume to make everything sound the same volume.
