Glad you are enjoying your new RAM! I am still smiling and have had it for almost a year (Limited/Asian/3.73) I had the dealer swap out the Nexen's for MS2's before I picked it up. Mine is a '14 Mega Dually. When I weighed it when I got back from SC, 8860. I've had almost 1K# in the bed all winter for traction though. If you have "keyless and go" I want to see you use the key to start the truck lol. It fits the doors and tailgate not much else. I keep spare batteries for the fob in my back pack (I carry it pretty much everywhere I go) and the glove box (just in case). I have used the Uconnect remote many times this winter when leaving work. When I get ready to leave the shop, I send the command. Buy the time I get there, it is usually in hi idle. Have also had the winter front on since it got cold. Between the front and the EB I get heat pretty quick. I put a timer on the extension that I plugged it into to run the block heater for 2.5 hrs every 12, this was synced to come on 2 hours before I left for work. Remote start from the house while I'm putting together my coffee for the road, good to go.
Until it did a combo rain/snow and covered the 2-4" of packed snow and turned it to ice, I had no issues getting up my drive (in 4wd) and it's very steep. I really like the TPIS no lights or sounds, just 6 tire pressures on the EVIC. I don't mind the little blue lights, it did take me awhile to find the overhead console one:) took me awhile to find the fog light switch also. I still have to install my Console Vault that I got for Xmas.
Good luck with your new truck!
