LOL They let you out of Biker jail already. Impressive at $1m bail

And then DJ comes into the equation :B So you going for the Rebel also? I'm sure that camper you have will be no problem on a Raptor or Rebel :R
Got to love the toy trucks but at some point you need to separate the tow truck from the toy trucks :B. The right tool for each person is most likely different.
BTW I'm sorry at your loss a couple of weeks ago in CDA.
I'm pretty certain you knew the officer.

Starting with 2014 GM offers telescoping steering wheels.

I actually like most things about the Rebel, just do something about the grill and paint the RAM on the tailgate the same color as the rest of the truck and I think it would look pretty sharp.

Oh and I like Billy Idol too, grew up listening to him.

As for the "telescoping steering wheel" your 100% dead on troy. I have a $53,389 truck that I love except for that. I need to have the seat moved up so I don't feel like I'm reaching for the wheel. We build telescoping steering wheels just for some reason they don't out them in the trucks.

I agree. Even with the adjustable pedals on my truck I can't get an ideal driving position. I could if it at a telescoping column.

Maybe they can get Billy Idol to be a spokes person for this thing. :B

I have yet to see a Raptor towing anything and I'm sure I won't see this one towing anything either.

I have seen several Raptors towing trailers. Plus, back when I had cable I think I saw one of those car flipping/restoration shows where the owner used his Raptor to pull a trailer. Cannot remember the show but ironically I have seen him in some Chrysler T.V. commercials.

Here is a review on the Raptor and towing.

I would have to agree. It really does appear that many 350/3500 owners look down their nose at the half ton offerings and in this case lump them together in a way that doesn't apply. As much as you guys know about your big trucks, many of you are truly ignorant to the capabilities and improvements in the half ton market.

The Raptor is in a class by itself.

The Rebel is a lightly modified 1500 with some improved off-road capability, but mostly cosmetic.

The Power Wagon is in a class by itself too, and is still plenty capable as a TV. It's definitely no half ton either, so not sure why it was brought up.

meant to be a off road vehicle and not a tow vehicle. Have you seen the gear ratio? Great for towing a lawn mower I guess.

392 is a respectable ratio for towing. Most have a 373 unless you special order it with 410 or 430. 392 is in between 373 and 410.

Apparently some of you have not read the description under Tow Vehicles.

"If you are wondering about SUVs, pickups and autos, this forum is for you".

Here is one for you, alive and well in the TV section.

You don't need a 1 ton dually to post here. :R

8 speed tranny with a knob shifter on the dash.

Sort of like those buttons in my old Dodge Dart.

But that leaves lots of room in the console for cup-holders and stuff.

Are the knob-on-the-dash shifters on all RAMs?
