Good day, folks!
3rd time RAM owner. Just purchased a 2023 RAM Sport HEMI w/eTorque. Delmonico Red Pearl. Got lots of goodies on it. Really like it so far.

1st RAM was a black 2014 Outdoorsman w/HEMI. Traded that in for a black 2016 Sport w/HEMI and RAMBox (the only reason why I traded at that time.)
Had to trade in the 2016 because it fell victim to the HEMI lifter/cam curse. I felt rather than dumping 1000s into the truck, I'd rather dump that 1000s into a new truck with warranty and a few extra creature comforts and the new body style.

So now I'm in the midst of trying to get the accessories back to what I had on my 2016. I have a tonneau cover ordered (roll up LoPro). Weather beater mats. Rubber bed mat (LineX had dramatically gone up in price since I did it in the 2016). A dongle to plug into my powered mirror to run my dash cam. Truck bed lights. A screen protector for that lovely 12" screen. Window vent visors.

And I'm humming an haaing about:
- nerf bars
- hood deflector or paint film (new to those, not sure what I want to do about that)
- seat covers (I have heated/cooled seats, unsure how a seat cover will affect how well they work) Can anyone else with a phat *** comment on the longevity of the seats without a cover? I've always used one in my trucks, but this is my first truck with OEM heated seats.
- steering wheel cover (again, heated steering wheel, so not sure how it will be affected)
- an UnderCover swing case (to try and gain back some of the storage that I lost with the RAMBox).

Probably going to build myself a wooden cargo divider since I also no longer have the cargo management system from the old truck.
Anyways, looking forward to roaming the forums and reading about all the crap I know nothing about and getting ideas of things to do to make my RAM even more kool and comfortable.

Welcome! I'm a new owner myself (I need to post an intro too!). I've had mine for a month and a half now. My 2020 Longhorn seats and steering wheel get very warm. I almost always have to turn the seat setting down from high and I'm sure you'd still feel good amount of heat through covers. I love mine original though so no covers for me. I love the idea of a diy wood divider. I really wanted rambox along with that divider but found a truck I love that has everything but for a great price.
