Ram 2500 Tradesman 4x4 with the 6.4L Hemi and brand new 8 speed transmission. Nothing fancy, but perfect for my needs.Very nearly pulled the trigger on an F250 gasser through 1Ags contact (who was great to work with), but I wasn't digging the STX interiors and they just weren't really ready to deal on the 7.3s yet.
Honestly, Ram has done an incredible job on their interiors even on their Tradesman line and it came with an 8.4" screen, led bed lighting, rear A/C for the kids, and some other nifty stuff.

If you are in the market for a 3/4 ton gasser, do yourself a favor and drive these Rams with the new 8 speeds. I test drove F250s with the 6.2 and 7.3 and was blown away by how well behaved this transmission is. It is the smoothest shifting automatic I've ever had and always seems to be in the right gear.

Already put on some Ionic 4" running boards, bedliner goes on Tuesday, and will probably do some Katzkins in the future.

Also T&Ps for my eventual spontaneous truck fire.

Congrats!

As to the inevitable fire, I guess it's a good thing it won't possibly fit in your garage. Amirite?!

Damn, that rig is half the size of your house.

For the record, I dig the roof marker lights. Not a fan of the white paint but, if you slap some big magnetic Texas A&M Football helmets on the side, I'll allow it.

Did not want white either, really preferred silver or dark gray. Oh well, it was a good deal and easy transaction.

We have a camper. Nothing for this truck but we will go bigger at some point.

Nothing you can't fix with a vehicle wrap.

It's surprisingly not too bad for a 3/4 ton. Obviously unloaded and with these E rated tires jacked up to 75 psi from the dealer, you will feel some bumps in the road. I'm gonna drop them down a bit, but so far it rides better than that black F150 above. That truck had a Pro Comp add a leaf and E rated tires as well and it would beat you up. This truck is really smooth at highway speeds.

I will say the F250s I drove felt pretty similar.

Kind of fun having two straight axles with coil springs all the way around again. Almost like driving a jeep again.
