Same options as my 2019 3500 limited besides the bed 115v outlet. Tommy always points out the smallest little things and his lack of dodge/ram knowledge. He also missed that Ram went back to the Bosch cp3 pump.

Yes! Thank you guys so much for more RAM videos!!

You don't want auto 4wd in a diesel. That's asking for a problem when dealing with that much torque. Also, the foam door cup holders have been out for a long time. They're very easy to remove and clean vs having a spot that you can't get your hand in. Fyi if your truck didn't come with them, you can get them on Amazon 40bucks for thr pair. They fit that cab style 1500 at least back to 16.

People fail to realize the market for these trucks is not you average Joe. It's Guy that own Ranches and Big Farms That can easily afford these types of trucks for there daily's and Some Guy bidding on trailer loads running highways all day that enjoys all the comfort being in the truck for 10 hours a day.

This is exactly why I do not like you testing truck… especially the Rams. It is a work truck. You put whatever light you dam well please. Do not annoy others with your woodpecker like habitats. With two piece floor mats: you are noticing it just now?! Early and/or mid forth gens started with them. Hey (rhymes with rummy or mummy) Tommy, the bigger main part holds stuff that fall through the fabric part. The fabric part makes the entire setup look more upscale while being easy to handle for clearing. If you know that you are muddying or going for some sand, you can opt to leave them out. With 12” U-connect, I think that your glasses 👓 are cracked. That big 8.4” top is not giving anyone else in the states eye 👁 problems why you?! The stack style keeps the interior large and spacious while keeping usage to the driver. I do not know if your cracked glasses 🤓 will allow you to see, but you can drag important app buttons down for main use ability. The a/c hard buttons look good as well.
