I bought a pretty well equipped new 2015 Ram Tradesman a few weeks ago. So far I love it. It has chrome package, 4X4, preferred equipment (carpet, remote, larger tires, etc), parksense, parkview, trailer brake controller and other nice items. It has the Uconnect 5.0 which has voice control over phone and radio/media functions. The only thing it doesn't have that wife wanted was navigation.
Gettting an SLT would have added about $5K to $6k since there were no 2015s and I would have had to go with a 2016. The new truck iis much quieter and more comfortable riding than our 2008 Ram 2500 that we traded. I find the seats comfortable. I thought about the 6.4 Hemi, but decided I loved the towing power of the CTD in our 2008 so I again went with the Cummins.
At 62 I can live without a lot of the gadgets that did not even exist until a few years ago to save over $5K. Our 2008 was a Texas Edition, equivalent to the current Big Horn, and this new 2015 truck is better equipped overall. Only thing it lacks that the 2008 had was a sliding rear window (which I didn't use anyway). We all use our trucks differently, so only you can know what works for you. Good luck. Keith
