Pics of new Ram 3500 SRW

I picked up my new 2015 Ram 3500 SRW yesterday morning that I ordered. It started to rain as soon as we got to the dealer and pretty much rained until early evening today. Once the roads dried I headed straight to the car wash and did a quick cleaning by hand. The color is Maximum Steel which looks awesome in sunlight but these pics are overcast and in the evening.

So far I love the truck and it's amazing how much has changed since my 2006. Got nerf bars, floor mats, and mud flaps on order and Line-X coming in a week. Can't wait to pull with this.







I went with the 20" rims as I liked them better than the standard 18" ones.





The LCD on the dashboard is completely customizeable.



The 8.4" UConnect is also really nice.



I got the cargo and backup cameras.

    I had a 2006 Ram 3500, and honestly do not recall details about the oil pressure gauge on that one.

    Now on my new Ram (2014 Cummins/Aisin to save reading time) my gauges seem to work just fine. Oil pressure changes as vehicle warms up. Runs in the 50 PSI range when cruising on highway warm, and will usually go down to the low 30's when idling warm. Cold start pressure is higher than the 30 something PSI at warm idle, possibly in the 50PSI range, but right now I do not recall what it shows.

    So it is not a constant number.

    Congratulations; I really like the color ;)

    I have received tons of compliments on the Maximum Steel color. It is still not that common which is a good thing!

    68RFE and definelty a different feel from my 48RE. I don't have a need for the HO Cummins which includes the Aisin and since it's my daily driver, the 3.42 should help with mileage.


    Beautiful truck.

    All SRW's have 3.42's regardless of transmission.

    Did you get the air suspension?

    That backup assist feature with the camera is nice. Boy could I use that.

    Do you get a complimentary subscription to Sirius/XM for a time as part of the purchase?

    Lots o' information on that dash display. Is it a 787 Dreamliner or a truck?
