New Member & 2019 1500 Limited

[coffeyman76]

Hey gang - new(ish) to the forum, first post. Closed the deal on my 2019 Ram 1500 Limited in Ivory Tri Coat yesterday. Formerly of the GM Clan, this is my first Ram and first FCA vehicle (I don't count my 40 year old CJ). I am very impressed so far (100 miles in). The ride, the room, the interior and the tech is simply top of it's class. And I feel like I got a really solid deal on the vehicle/trade so that makes it even better.

I'm grateful for all the information on this and other forums. I'm usually pretty active on the forums having tweaked and modded my wife's Escalade ESV and my own Yukon Denali. Such a great source of information. My wife's car is still my favorite ;-) but I simply can't pull up on a job site with that!

I was originally pretty nervous moving to this vehicle as the forums are filled with all the "problems" but then I remembered it's much the same with the GM Forums and a great place to vent and find solutions.

I do plan some mods on this vehicle and have already ordered the roll up tonneau, Bully hitch step, Pedal Commander, S&B CAI, screen protector and 60" rear LED light. I've always been a fan of the "storm trooper" look so after I settle into the vehicle for a minute I'll probably start blacking out some emblems and trim. I will 100% go to a more aggressive tire as I am not a fan of the factory rubber. It's taking everything I have right now not to order the 5" RC lift, but again I want to enjoy the truck as is at least for a second.

I'll be posting my progress in either a new thread or top similar thread. Again thanks to everyone and all the great info.

Welcome. Glad to have you here and look forward to your input and contributions.....and just to get you started, here’s a free $250 for some mods to get you started

Make sure you go file for this additional rebate. Seems like they have been having problems with vin numbers being in the system so you have to call them so they send you the actual app. Do it within 60 days of purchase. Many of us have already received our checks. No strings attached.

The only qualification is that “someone in your household” must have a non-FCA vehicle.

Congrats on your purchase, I know what you mean on pulling up to clients in an Escalade, I had a 2010 Platinum ESV and got nothing but crap from a few customers, never again. I find my 2019 ram to ride as nice as my old Escalade.

I love the ivory white, it would have been my choice, but the wife got me a black one instead.
