Former Silverado owner, I finally came to my senses and ordered a new Ram 1500 Laramie this week. Spec'd it out with the Hemi (non-eTorque), Sport, Level 1, OffRoad, and Bed Utility groups, 12" Uconnect, Wheel to Wheel running boards (happy wife) and Multi-Function tailgate. Diamond Black Crystal Pearl with the optional polished 5 spoke wheels (don't like the murdered out black look). Can't wait for it to arrive and have been told by the dealer it should be here in 2 or 3 months. It's been several years since I got rid of my 2015 Silverado due primarily to it's junky 8 speed transmission and have wanted another truck for some time. I've been researching all the major truck brands for several months watching endless hours of you tube reviews and spending countless hours on build and price configurators. It was finally time to pull the trigger. It's going to be a pretty long three months.

The ram 8 speed is far superior to the gm products.

That definitely aided in my decision. I was extremely pleased with the 8 speed we had in our Rubicon.

With Off Road Group added ride height, you too will like the running boards ... and I'm with you 100% about overdone all-black w/ black wheels, the polished ones are way better.
Looking forward to photos of your new Ram when you finally take delivery.
Welcome,
Dave
Will definitely post pics. Might be some time though. I ordered the truck Tuesday, was told I'd have my VIN and order number Thursday - still waiting. Hope they didn't over state 2-3 months for delivery. No matter, it will be worth the wait.
The Ram air Intake you installed, Dave - is that the Ram AirFlow as included in the new GT package?

Welcome! Congrats on the order!
Thanks. It's going to be a long anxious wait, but worth it, I'm sure.
Thanks. I think I got my order in just in time. Read things over the weekend about the order books possibly being closed since mid-May. Received email confirmation yesterday, saying order was accepted, with VIN and order number. Can't wait.

Took "last minute" delivery yesterday to close before month end. Not bad, two months from order to delivery. Sitting in the garage until I get insurance on it tomorrow. Lovin' the look so far. Plenty of us ol' timers rubber-necking when they saw it on the lot yesterday. I like just a little bling, versus the murdered out look. And yea, I know, I know... chrome running boards on an "Off Road" truck. You all know the phrase - Happy Wife...

I had the wheel-to-wheel side steps on my last Ram- Great choice. That little extra length of step is quite useful when you want to reach something at the front of the bed, or strap something to the front tiedown. Congrats on the new arrival, by the way
Congratulations on the order of your new truck. I came over from the Ford side of the house and love the ram so far it is an upgrade in every measurable area. I like the way you speced your truck that is going to be really nice.I had the wheel-to-wheel side steps on my last Ram- Great choice.

Funny how one can spec their Laramie into the Limited price range. Limited offers better value in some senses, but I like the look of the Laramie Sport better. No disappointments, no regrets.
