Howdy all,
I have been nosing around on the RAM Truck site and on a few dealer sites.
I have seen a few trucks that have caught my eye, but not my wallet...My current truck still serves me well and it all works as far as buttons, and switches so, no need to acquire a new truck/loan. Just that pretty little truck-in-the-window effect, so to speak.
The option group Ged Utility Group (BUG):
The bed lights seem to be removed from this option package - is this a fact? My current truck has this option package and I find the lights an important useful tool as I often haul/use my truck, in the dark due to my work hours and off-time functions. I looked for trucks with this option package and noted that the lights are not listed in the items in the package on the RAM site, and various truck stickers. I have not ventured into the world of the land-sharks (aka) salespersons to go and see for myself. I've been letting my fingers do the walking due to time off is usually dark
Switches on the dash on the bottom of the radio stack:
I have noted the various trucks do not seem to have the toggle switches anymore based on pictures posted on the internet.
The switches such as the toggle of the various end sensors - front/back, driver assist/traction control (slide mitigation), and the others I can't seem to remember now (I think there are a total of 4 in my truck) I do note the trailer brake control switch is present in the same area. I guess these functions are now electronic and in the radio. I have not noted the various radios as I, just need the Nav function due to very poor cell coverage where I live/work. Thave nav functions very well for me as I often have to travel to areas where I do not have the knowledge of the address/roads it gets me in the ballpark about 99% of the time, good enough to figure out the last few details to reach my target. So I think, I have noted the missing switches with the 14-inch radios.
I also search, for the trailer brake control option due to the inability to add it later so well worth the cost upfront. I added, the (real Mopar) factory trailer brake and programmed it myself with AlphOBD.
