New Ram owner

[green68mustang_2002]

I am a lifelong GM customer and ever since the new Ram came out in 2019, i knew i was going to get one. I traded in my 2015 Duramax in for a beautiful white 2019 Big Horn/Lone Star 5.7 Hemi. This thing is stupid fast compared to the GM gasoline. Mods to be done are AMP steps, leveling kit, 285/65r18 Ridge Grapplers, limo tint all the way around, Mopar floor liners, rear wheel well liners. I am super impressed with this truck. Very first brand new truck and i never once set foot in the dealership, even to take possession of her!

Ready lift 2inch with UCAs, it’s a great setup and it’s high quality, also works well with the new tires you are going to slap on there.

Traded in a 19 DMax? That’s a big stepdown in power and towing ability. Why the change? (I’m no GM fan but most peeps buy a DMax to tow with.)

it was a 2015. It is still u downgrade in power and towing but i no longer needed the towing and power capabilities. This Ram will do everything i need it to do. Went with 2wd because i am gonna be getting a 4x4 toyota or nissan hardbody for the running around, fishing/hunting, and work truck.

I have been eyeing that specific kit. Before my duramax i had a 2015 half ton sierra with the cst 4.5” lift on it. It was nice and looked good but i just really didnt like the lifted style as much as I thought i would.

Gpt it. Your original info said a 19 Dmax so I wondered.
Yes the RAM will certainly do what you need it to do, easily. Probably a nicer interior than the GM’s for 19’ as well.

Yessir. I got it edited! The interior is so much nicer than even the high country i had!

Thats why we bought, interior and ride were far away above Ford, never even looked at GM (well, a Tahoe but she thumbs down that quick due to the inside). Once she saw the RAM Ivory with the Indigo Frost Limited interior, I lost all negotiating power at the dealership.

It doesn’t have to do with your insurance co and what you have. There are lots of sponsoring organizations that participate. Unfortunately there isn’t a master list. If you read through the thread, I know it’s long, you can see what people chose. You might even be able to choose Allstate, even though you don’t have them.

i went through the allstate website and got it submitted. Now we wait. Nothing like some free money to put towards the new ride!
