I have a 2019 Limited over night

After watching the video it looks like I have enough room between the tailgate and bumper for my lightbar. Thanks Jared.

Yeah there should definitely be enough room.

Great job Jared. Thanks for taking the time and really showing us some of the key aspects. Appreciate all you do for this forum and I feel so much more informed as to what I am going to order due to this site, your work and the great participation from everyone.

I updated this thread on my findings between the HK system and the Alpine in my truck as well.

Guess I never paid attention to that I just thought they all slid under until I watched Jared's video. Now I'll be on the lookout driving around town.

I'm currently driving a 2011 Mercedes E550 that has this exact type of panoramic sunroof. With the lower headliner (to your head) I very much appreciate the forward glass moving up to slide to the rear. I figured if MB has been doing this since at least 2011, Ram should have a zero-issue design from day one.
Don't feel free to correct my assumption!

 

[Jared B]

Yeah the sunroof works the same was as they did on both my C350's I like it as it allows for extra headroom which I felt the 19 had over my 16 with sunroof.

I also went out and bought a nice camera, Here are some photos of the truck for you guys.

Great video! Thank you!

The power adapters and storage looks amazing and I love that large center screen and the controls.

Dumb question. What are the advantages to using the usb c. For apple car play as compared to the regular usb? Thanks!

My S8 has USB-C vs the Micro USB....much faster charge speeds as well as file transfers.

USB-C will eventually replace USB-A (what you think of as regular USB). As the for the plug the big advantage is that it is reversible so you never have to play the "try it three times" game to plug something in. As for protocols, it offers far more than USB-A did although for this application in a vehicle it's only data and power - essentially the same as what the USB-A ports offer.
Since electronics are moving to USB-C, it makes it more future-proofed by having them and having the USB-A ports make it backward compatible. Ram scored with this approach making it one of the most-modern equipped vehicles by offering both and so many of them. It's one of the things that caught this techie's eye.

So the usb c will charge the phone faster and send information from the phone to the truck faster?

Not 100% sure on that one...as my F150 has regular USB ports. But when I use the 115v charger and USB-C phone connection - it can do a full charge at fast speed (1hr or so).

What type of data can be transferred? Other than maybe a GPS download? Am I missing out on things?
