Finally ordered and a Thanks

Just got through placing my order for a brand new TC transportation device. Want to thank everyone for answering all my question and letting me order with confidence I was getting what I would need.

Since the wife will be driving it with the TC, we decided that the next TC will remain small and light giving us the benefit of still being able to explore forest roads at the expense of smaller quarters and dumping more often. Figure I will be about 1,000# under the GVWR after the TC upgrade. The compromise will work well for us for about the next 6-10 years we think.

2015 Ram 3500 SLT 4x4 SRW Long Box
6.4 Hemi Engine
3.73 Gears
Premium Cloth Bench 40/20/40 Seat (60/40 Rear Seat)
220 Amp Alternator
Auxiliary Switches (5 mounted in instrument panel controlling relays)
Protection Group (transfer case skid plate)

The SLT already had the integrated brake controller and tow hooks so didn't have to add them.

Originally planned on rear sensor and backup camera but since the TC will be on it and the tailgate off most of the time, figured it was a waste of money.

After price negotiation, had the dealer throw in the switch wiring package ($70) and wheel liners at his cost. Which made it a very sweet deal since he was already less than I could have taken a left over 2014.

So now I get to sit back and watch the slow build and delivery process. Of course, get to spend some of the time aligning some other goodies and planning my first trip.

January is going to be a long time coming. :B
