Building a Dodge, oops, Ford TV
I have an appointment Monday at Dodge to order a truck to be built for me. Question: Should I spring for the Anti-Spin Differential Rear Axle for $435 and/or the 4-Corner Air Suspension for $1,715?...

Cograts on your new truck, had I seen this sooner I would have given you a Friends and Family number for a Ram.
To answer your question,
3.5l EcoBoost V6....Well nope that is a Ford thing.
10 speed transmission....Rams have an 8 speed
Blind Spot Information System with Cross Traffic Alert.... yes but only on the upper trim levels.
Pro Trailer Assist...LOL Nope most Ram drivers know how to back up a trailer. :W Also if you put your hand on the bottom of the steering wheel you get the same effect as that little knob Ford has.
Reverse Sensing System....Not sure what that is.
Tailgate Step....Nope the man step is a Ford thing. GMC/Chevy has a cut out in the bumper and Ram has a pull out corner step (dealer installed option).
Power Movable Pedals....yep and has had them since 2002.
Hill Start Assist....Yep.
If any of this is available on the RAM, they didn't tell me about it.
As for the paylaod comments, Ram will be playing the "HD half ton" game coming 2018. Never understood why anyone would buy a want-to-be 2500 for more or the same money? But the manufactures love selling sub par trucks to people that have too much money.
