Start of 2022 Production.

I forced myself to use it for several weeks, just to get used to it before I gave up. But now I don’t mind it…in fact it has a few advantages. No obstructions (like C pillars or rear window frame). Very good lighting at night.
But a few disadvantages. You can’t look at yourself in the mirror (never realized I did that until I couldn’t). Can’t look at my kid in the rear seat. But the biggest disadvantage: When I parallel park on a street and need to check behind me before I open my door into traffic. Turns out the mirror doesn’t work when the ignition is off. And since I also auto-stow the side mirrors to avoid them being hit by traffic, I can’t see anything behind me without turning my body completely around.
The solution is to flip the rear view mirror down to the regular position. Then flip it back to digital when I start back up to drive away. What a pain.
First world problems.
I agree about the looking at yourself in the mirror. Had bed head the other day and wanted to glance in the mirror to see how bad it might be and remembered it was in camera mode.

But I love the wider angle of view I can almost watch a car passing on the left and almost pick them up in my peripheral vision as they are disappearing from the digital mirror.

Hardest thing to get used to is stopped at a traffic light and the car behind you looks like it’s in the back seat.
 
I was D-1 for 15 days before truck was assembled.
They put me in D1 February 8 . POC says My ESD is not until March 17. 5 weeks. The 17th is St Paddy's Day maybe it will come off the line Green.🤮

Looking good SkeeterRam! Didn't know the bedstep was included in the pkg.. Only thing I ordered different I believe was the ORP an 20" rims. Would like to have that bed step.
Is there something that I should change on my order to get the bed step included?
My best guess, Center Bed Step goes with MFT. Regular tailgate gets a step on the leftside of tailgate.
No doubt it can always be ordered and added on. Merica!
 
get a updated POC from you dealer, on the sheet will be an Estimated Ship Date. this ship date will more than likely be you build date. framing then paint then u should see a build sheet within a day or two!
Dealer told me D1 with an estimated ship date of 3/16. It is a month today I placed the order.

This is correct. The center mounted step is part of the bed utility group when you have the MFT. it installs to the right of the drivers side tail pipe. If you get the standard tailgate with the utility group you get the corner mounted one which amounts to the left side of the drivers side tail pipe.

It’s cuzza the barn door thing. With the left side section of the tailgate opened it would block access to a corner step, and with a traditional lowered tailgate, the center mount would also be blocked. It’s wicked smaaaht of them imo.

I actually wonder if there’s room for both haha. Since a traditional gate will never obscure a corner step. But a multigate when lowered will block the center step.

Also here’s a general wonderingment… anyone know what “Black Day Light Opening Moldings” are?

Good points! I may just have to force myself too. Not worried about looking at myself in it though. After breaking many mirrors by looking at myself, I finally broke the habit!!

Ram chat told me Wed. 2-3 weeks before it would be built. It was built the next day
 
100517 arrived at the dealer 9 months to the day it was ordered. It’s so great it’s finally here because it did not disappoint. What a great truck and it just fits inside the bigger garage I spec’d when we built the house
