Wow that thing is loaded. I see in your signature you have advanced safety on a limited? Isn’t all that stuff standard on the limited?

Are you deleting more chrome than just the RAM badge? I think I’d have went with black side steps with those black flares but that’s just personal preference. Nice truck.

Do you live near Eagan? I saw a truck just like yours in the Buffalo Wild Wings parking lot a week or so ago.

Nope, Andover area!

Must have been a different delmonico Laramie. Seeing more and more of these 2019s all over now.

Nice truck and good luck on all this wonderful ice the weekend thaw left us.

The Level 1 and the Adv Safety add alot of stuff that isnt standard, I dont have the book handy for the diff.
The difference between the Level 1 and the Adv safety is the HK radio and ventilated rear seats. At the time I ordered it, people were complaining about the Radio and the back is for the dogs so the ventilated seats werent needed.

No more chrome delete -- I like some chrome. And I thought the same thing with the side steps, but the black powder coat wasn't guaranteed for as long as the polished stainless was, and I'm out on gravel roads a lot, so I went for the stainless look there. I've hit the side steps on water bars on logging roads before, so I was afraid the black would get scratched up more easily. I'm hoping these flares keep some of the dirt off the sides, but I'm kinda skeptical.

Been there, done that.

Just got the salt washed off mine this past weekend.

Has anyone taken theirs through a standard car wash with brushes? Does the Delmonico Red show scratches? There is one down the street that says soft touch but I am still apprehensive. I had a blue 2016 Camry that showed a ton of fine scratches that were obviously caused by the brushes of a car wash. I am just wondering if the FCA paint holds up better than the Toyota waterbased paint. I don't mind had washing by hand in the warmer weather but when it's in the 20's, sometimes I just want to get the light grime off and not freeze my hands.

So,a little story about “soft touch” car washes, there is one at my dealer and when I went to pick it up and take delivery there was scratches from one end to the other on both sides, they tried 4x to buff the scratches out and after I kept saying I will not accept it they sent it to the body shop and they spent 8 hours buffing and than another few hours to paint the rear bumper. I will NEVER go trough a touch wash again.

That's what I'm affraid of. I don't want to have to deal with that sort of thing. With purchases at my dealer, they give you free washes for the life of the vehicle but the convenient location has brushes. The inconvenient location is brush-less so at least I have that option. Nothing better than a good ol hand wash though.
