Went from a 390 flywheel HP MK7 Golf R to a 2020 Ram Limited. Growing family and requirement to have a bed forced away the toy. Had a ford, chevy, audi, VW and recent 2016 Sierra denali w/ 6.2l but the new interior of these rams sold me.

Originally wanted a bighorn with a 12" screen and sunroof. Next thing you know I ended up with a fully loaded limited (am a sucker for adaptive cruise). Stickered for 66.4k and purchased for 54.4k plus taxes and fees.

Already have on order the following:
Magnaflow 19429, Lasfit CHMSL LEDs, Mopar floor mats, Mopar window visors, Undercover Ultra flex tonneau, Kykr screen protector and some 20" winter tires. Have to order 5% tint for the rear still.

Am on the fence about ceramic or coating as i go through a wash nearly every other day.
Also unsure on mud flaps as i am hoping to buy OE 22" rims and install 285/55R22 without a lift (non offroad package truck) or 305/45R22s next winter. Hear mud flaps will not fit in conjunction.

Hopefully NY salt woll not rust this out before 6 years as I will most likely not undercoat it because I do not plan to keep longer than that.

Hopefully these trucks are loaded enough that I will not want to dump too much money into it.

Some peek-sures before the modding begins.

Welcome! Beautiful congrats!! I definitely don't recommend getting ceramic coating if you go through the car wash, when I had that done on a prior vehicle they said it voids the warranty and you just wasted all that money. Best of luck with your truck!

Thank you - I have a coworker who does a plethora of detailing. I will have to see his recommendations. Was quote $500 for ceramic. Should inquire about graphene(sp?) Coating or sealants.

I guess thats the benefit of being the guys boss haha.
Hopefully i will not have to do any paint corrections as i assume thats what would jump the price?
