One quick note on the Ram navigation system, it is not c.d. based, but satellite based, so updates are not an issue. The U Connect, Sirius/XM radio, and nav are top notch. If you're planning on keeping the truck, you might as well get the options you can afford.
Boxer Lovers, I'm looking to special order a new 2014 RAM 3500 and wondering about the Uconnect navigation. I'll be full timing pulling a 40' fifth wheel so navigation, current traffic info, and particulars for the RV driver on where a rig will and wont' fit are critical. I've used a TomTom for years in my car, but don't know about particulars unique to big RV rids, and am a newbie to RVs to boot
I see lots of bigger rig RV folks using iPads, laptops, etc., but of course, they don't have the nav screens like these new trucks come with. Will I need to plan on using anything else if I order the top of the line Uconnect with this RAM 3500? I assume it comes with some period of time free, then I have to start paying a sat subscription I guess. Any thoughts are appreciated as I haven't ordered the truck yet.
