New to me Longhorn

[PaRamRod]

I have been looking at the new Rams for awhile now. I finally pulled the trigger and picked up a 2019 Longhorn Maximum Steel Metallic w/ Light Mountain Brown Interior, 6ft bed, Trailer Group, Advanced Safety Group, Level 1 Equipment Group, Anti Spin Rear Axle, 5.7L VVT, 33 gallon tank, and Air Suspension. I also purchased the 7year/100k mile Mopar bumper-bumper warranty. The truck only has 24k miles and was one owner for $42k. I live 30 miles from Philadelphia so this was the best deal I found.

Welcome neighbor as I’m located in New Jersey. Post some photos when you get a chance of this killer deal truck.

I need to grab some better ones. I still need to detail the truck.

Very nice, I’m still a fan of the Longhorn front end.

Truck looks Awesome!! I’m about 32 Miles from the city. I live in Bucks County. I am planning on adding the from chrome deflector, chrome side molding, and bed cover as well. What brands did you go with for those accessories?

The link below is a compilation of tonneau cover posts. I wish you well if you are not sure of what "type" of cover you want as there are a lot of choices. When I first got my Ram I put an Extang Black Max because I was familiar with the cover and did not have the time to review all my options with prices running from $200 to $2000+. Do you want form or function or combo?

Whatever you choose, before purchasing, check with Luke at Truck Alterations. He is mentioned in several threads and my communications with him has been excellent and can help you out with your choice. I'm just waiting for a change in weather before I pull the trigger.
I have been side lined do to hernia surgery so I was able to spend a lot of time reviewing covers. If expense is not an issue your choices are wide. Be advised most of the companies/covers fall under the Truck Hero umbrella. Access which makes the Lomax (very popular with 5th Gen members) does not. If your interested in a tri fold the Extang Exceed is relatively new and has a $100 credit card give back till mid April I believe. The Truxedo Sentry covers had this at the end of 2019. I think both where just recently introduced or revamped and they were trying to promote the new versions.

Post up some pics with your choice when you are done. The more the merrier!
Best wishes.

Chrome side molding - https://www.carid.com/2019-ram-1500...492789.html?parentsubmodel[]=SUBMODEL|4+Doors
chrome deflector - https://www.moparpartsonsale.com/oe...1t-lDb4FV1V6vAYfhSlt6FTtABOB1XokaAk0yEALw_wcB
Bed cover - Came with truck from dealership.

* Chrome side molding only comes 4 pieces. 2 pieces per side. Really wish they could have added the extra 2 pieces for the rear side panels like on the Limited.
* I was on the fence when with the chrome bug deflector and almost went with the dark smoked thinking the chrome might just be too much chrome for the front end. I am SO happy i went with the chrome finish.
** I highly recommend getting wind deflectors for the windows. I went with the in-channel version from EGR. They completely got rid of the wind buffeting issue with the 5th gens. I can drive with any widow up,down, cracked, and there is 0% wind buffeting now.

How is the fitment for the in-channel version from EGR? All the rubber weather seal seat properly after installed?

There is some displacement of the rubber seals but merely minor. 100% no water leakage
