Hello All!
I just traded in my 2012 Ram 1500 Laramie on a brand new 2021 Ram 1500 Laramie. WOW oh WOW. I loved my old truck. Even with 125,000 miles, drove great and limited issues with it other than regularly scheduled maintenance stuff. I could have happily driven it for another 100,000 miles or so I thought....
I recently took a new job which requires more travel by car so the wife & I decided it was probably better to get current especially with the safety innovations, apple play, etc. But this thing drives like a dream. Basically floating on a cloud. I do love that even with all the new bells & whistles; it still has many of the classic Ram stuff (like the buttons for volume and radio under the steering wheel, the 8.4 computer is similar to my wife's old 2013 journey). The 8 speed transmission feels really different as well I'm trying to get use to the regeneration braking. But overall it's a great rig.
This is my 4th Ram 1500 (2006 Laramie, 2012 Long Horn, 2012 Laramie & now this one) and the first time I actually stepped out from my normal Mineral Gray color. I found one that had the features I wanted (and then some), in my price range but with the Patriot Blue / Gray two tone. My wife wasn't sure I'd like it but I think it makes it look old school. What can I say, I'm an old soul.
Thanks to everyone who has posted on this board. I've been lurking for the last 3 weeks as trying to dial in decision. The wealth of information on this board is outstanding. Glad to be part of the fam. We are located in Central Florida.
