Well, after a couple years lurking here watching the comments about the Ram 6.4---we bought one today. Sometime in the near future, we're thinking about a small to medium fifth wheel, and the little Hemi just wasn't going to cut it.
Off with the flashy black Ram to a white one. Looking forward to the power.

Wow, my truck looks just like I Do My Own Stunts.
My first road trip is today--anxious to see MPG. I wonder where one might buy a can of "new car smell?"

You forgot to list the EX on the items sold list Ian :B

Congrats OP. Don't forget the headlights in winter as you'll blend right in :W

I hear you on how tall they are. I added some chrome nerf bars to mine since I took my pic. It was a climb to even get up in the cab, especially for the wife and kids. I thought my 150 and 250 were tall, but this one is the tallest vehicle I've owned.

On the other hand, I still can't wipe the smile off my face when driving the big white beast.

It's all ib's fault! I watched his video with the fifth wheel and was hooked.

:B wish I was one of those people who make money on YouTube. That video has almost 70k views! I might have made 5 cents by now 🙂

In any case, glad you bought one. I never regretted it, and aws impressed with the performance when towing.

Boy howdy these things are tall. I can't even see my bride when she's on the other side of the truck.
We're in the hunt for a fifth wheel and I think this is going to be a good choice for us.
See you out there.....

Congrats! I like my 6.4 more and more each time I drive it, especially when I punch it and it just goes. I love freeway on-ramps now.

Just ordered a new Ram 3500 with the 6.4 about 4 weeks ago.

Congrats on the new truck. I've really liked mine in the year plus I've owned it. It does equally well as a daily driver, family road trip vehicle and pulling our fifth wheel.

Nice! I really enjoyed mine when I had it. I pulled a 12k 5er with it.
