Hello!
This is my 4th Ram. I've had an 03 Hemi, 05 Hemi, 09 Hemi, then recently an 05 Cummins. Don't ask...I have a problem!
The 05 Cummins was becoming a money pit as it had 176,000 miles. Ran excellent; but was rusting away. The wife told me she was done with me being in the garage every weekend and to get something new. I decided to cut my losses and trade it in.
I went to look at a Rebel after seeing the ads for the incentives. I wanted an off road package with as little chrome as possible. I test drove a Rebel and liked it, but left the dealership to research more. I found out that some Laramie's were offered with an off road and sport package. The off road package gave me all terrain tires, the e-locker, and heavy duty shocks, but not the Bilsteins the Rebel came with. But, the Laramie has a power passenger seat, vented front seats, along with the 12" display. And best of all, it was $1,000 cheaper then the Rebel. The Rebel had a manual passenger seat and the seats weren't vented. Also, the Rebel had 3.92 gears which are great for acceleration and towing, but not so great for highway mileage.
My 05 2500 Cummins had a payload of 2,000 lbs. This 1500 can handle 1,840 lbs! Not that I'd want that much weight in a 1500 on a daily basis, but nice to know I have the option.
So, here it is, my 2020 Ram Laramie Hemi with the off road and sport package. I hate the chrome steps...might have to change them out.
Only plans for now are rubber fitted floor mats instead of the carpeted ones, rear under seat storage bin, and a tri-fold soft bed cover.
