GT Package

[HSKR R/T]

It's all a matter of preference. Every time I get in my truck, I thank the Good Lord that I don't have the toaster oven knob on my dash.

The dash knob has really grown on me. Console shifter is basically just a hand rest once truck is in gear. I'll take the extra space

Thanks for all the input! I'm not really understanding why Ram would go through the trouble of creating a performance package (GT) and it have the same hp numbers, 0-60 time, etc. as a standard Laramie. After reading everyone's feedback, it seems pointless to purchase the Mopar Cold air intake. Roughly $800 for a part that does nothing different than what's already installed.

The GT isn't sold as a "performance" package though.

You bring up a good point with comparing times. Id be inerested to see 0-60, 1/8, and 1/4 mile times between a 2022 Laramie and 2022 Laramie GT (equally optioned).

Should be easy enough to get baseline numbers from the GT’s since they have Performance Pages.
Anybody with a GT wanna post your numbers?

GT means Great Tires

I beg to differ. GT literally means Grand Turismo - A car fit between a sports car and luxury car. The GT package also comes with performance pages. Everything about it screams performance.

The paddle shifters on my 2012 2SS Camaro were placed where the volume rocker switch is on the Rams on both sides. I loved the placement.

Right, I believe they only had the buttons on 2010 and 2011 model years. It wasn't the placement that sucked (they were placed on the back of the steering wheel spokes), it was the fact that they were just buttons. Imagine using the stereo control buttons on the Ram for shifting the transmission.

Like the Pontiac GTO...which 3 things does it burn? Gas, tires, and oil.

Except it's performance.

A 392 in the GT's would've been sweet!
As far as the paddle shifters, they definitely rotate with the wheel. If there was one thing I would change on my Rebel GT, it would be to get rid of the gimmicky paddles and go back with the gear selector.

Yea, put it back on a column shifter

i have a laramie GT and my paddle shifters move with the wheel

as far as performance, ram does.not.claim.any gain, but it does not.mean there is none.

however if there is one over a stock ram, its not big.

but there is more to it other then the exhaust, air intake and paddle there is the gt bucket seats are really nice and hold you good, i found them a little.more confy then regular laramie seats too

, the performance app and pages are.cool, the pedals too, i think for the price you get alot

Rofl, paddle shifters definitely move with the steering wheel. Exhaust note sounds great with 0 drone. I came from 8 years with a knob shifter to the console shifter, so it’s just a nice change when getting into a new truck.

I just installed an $1800 exhaust on my other car, so I think with prices nowadays in mind, you get a decent amount for what you pay. But everyone has their own point of view and perspective.

Not gonna be everyone’s cup of tea, but I do agree, a 392 in these would’ve been perfect. Could’ve easily been a 5k package with that lol

My limited has performance pages. Not a GT. And once I got used to the dial shifter, I prefer it.

Limited's don't come with performance pages.

You are wrong once again. I have off road package that you also said wasn't available. It gives off road and performance pages.

 

[Darksteel165]

Bro, Limited don't come from the factory with performance pages.

It has already been determined you don't know what you are talking about. Do you own a '23 with ORG?

I agree, the GT package should have included the 392. I think Ram really dropped the ball by never offering the 392 in the 1500. I know there's the TRX but not everyone needs 700HP and all the off road capabilities in that trim level. Also the TRX, at 100K is not really affordable for many people. They could have offered a Scat Pack, Rumble Bee or this GT package on the Big Horn trim level and kept it somewhat affordable. They could sell as many of them as they could build, people like horsepower. When Chrysler announced that the 392 was coming back to the 300 for a limited run, it sold out in 12 hours.
