Now that we have a few members with trucks on order and others that are picking up their trucks I thought I would create a section where they can show them off and tell us all about them. So lets see em.

@DSOOBY you were supposed to pick yours up on Friday, where have you been? Driving it all the time?

Long story short the delivery was delayed, it’s looking like it’s going to be some time this week. It’s been at the rail yard near Fort Worth, just 45 minutes from the dealer since 4/21. Kind of a bummer but it’s just stuck in the system and there isn’t much that can be done to expedite it.

I’ll be sure to take a bunch of pictures with my DSLR for y’all and do an impressions write up once I spend some time with it!

Sorry to hear that it was delayed. Can't wait to see the photos and hear about it when you do get it.

Finally picked the new truck up late last night. This is the only picture we snagged with both of the trucks. Sorry for the potato quality picture and my dumb face being in the picture! It's an awesome truck, can't wait to start racking up the miles on it!

How about now?


I'm going to take some good pictures of everything once the weather clears up a bit. Then I'm putting new wheels, tires and a level on pretty soon as well, so plenty of pictures after that.
 
pic is working now. Great looking truck. Can't wait to see the mods. Congratulations.

From that view it looks to have retained plenty of the big rig look...a view from where it counts. About the area of a rear view mirror. Right were the new Ram will seem very imposing.

Again, love the truck. Good deal

hey congrats on your great looking truck. i guess you're the first of our site to get their new truck! hopefully they will start coming in for everyone.
 
Haha yeah I suppose so. I'm sure the orders will start pouring in sooner rather than later. Can't wait to see what everyone else got! The truck is phenomenal, I'm constantly amazed at how well behaved and smooth the driving characteristics are. Theres only 7 years difference between my 2011 and my DT , but they feel worlds apart in fit, finish, and comfort and performance.

RAM has no doubt created a very special truck this time around and I think the competition is really going to have to hustle to catch up.
 
Remember to post about your trucks here. Be sure to start a new thread and describe your options, purchase and/or ordering process, etc. And then you can keep us updated as to when you modify something, have a peculiar question, or (hopefully not) an issue.

Looks like lots of members are starting to take ownership and it is getting harder to keep track in the various threads we have going about ordering, waiting, and recieveing.

Thank you

How did you get your rail line info?

Ask you salesman for the assignment leg details. It should list everywhere its been or made a stop.
 
Well I picked my truck up Friday from my dealer. Very happy with it so far. it had 15 miles on it from where they gave it a test run making sure every thing was good. we took a 5 miles test drive before we signed everything so when we left it had 20 miles on her. even though i ordered the truck on 4-11 they never even brought up what they gave me on the trade in. i didn't put many miles on it as i figured less chance on any thing bad happening to my 13 ram. we took a nice ride to go out to eat and put on about 80 more miles. a lot of them 4 lane highway. 2 of the things that i heard issues about from some of the guys here worked fine. first the AC. it was in the mid 80's full sun and it cooled off the truck very well. now we will see next week when it will be in the 90's and humid. 2nd thing was the volume of the sound with the HK 19 speakers with the sirius mode which i listen to 99% of the time. even though my hearing is not the best i only had to have the volume at 20 or 21 with the AC on and it was plenty. i was very satisfied with this. the phone charger worked with my wife's phone with her case on. the 12 inch u- connect worked with no issues and it will take some time to get used to it. i think i read from one of the guys here that there was a software up date with the u-connect system. i don't know if that was it or not. all of the safety features worked. i was already used to these since my wife has a 17 GC summit which has them also. the 360 camera is really a nice thing to have where you can now see all around instead of just behind you. i'm going to have to used to using the side steps where i think they stick out further than the ones i had on my 13 ram. i'm 6-4 and i didn't have to use them much. the ride was very a very smooth ride which i heard from a lot of our guys already. one minor thing i was a little disappointedIMG_0316.JPGIMG_0317.JPGIMG_0326.JPG in, was the ambient lighting. it seems to be in white where my 13 has the blue which i think is much better looking. i don't know if it can be changed. looking forward to driving it more before i take my pittsburgh trip. i'm hoping to get my Access Lorado low-profile roll up cover put on next week as i had this one on my last 2 trucks. also will get my front windows tinted to match my back ones.

side note. just want to thank the members of this forum for all the great info on ordering and then the waiting process. this is the only ram forum i look at and it made it a lot easier for me. hope all the people who are waiting on their trucks get them soon, and for the folks who are having issues get them fixed as soon as possible. for the guys here who say they are ready to give up on their order and go get another brand of truck, DON'T. i really think you will regret it.

here are a few pics. Saying goodbye to my 13, which was my best vehicle ever. Hopefully the 19 will top it.

That truck is beautiful @RAM 4times and thanks for the initial impressions. Is that the 6’4” bed?
