Ordered new Ram truck

[NC_Hauler]

I stated truck in my sig was my retirement truck, BUT, with one last hoorah, THIS will be my "retirement" truck. Just ordered a 2016' Ram 3500 DRW/CC/LB/4X4/Cummins/Aisin/4.10 in Longhorn trim and Pearl White...won't have two tone..went with monotone and chrome bumpers. Also added the rear air assist..just because. So I guess now I wait and hope everything works out OK.

Thought I'd share and ready for any of the flack I'll get from this:B

My truck has the Alcoa wheels. Like them a lot and have received many compliments on them.

The auto headlights and auto windshield wipers REALLY work...Nice touch. The leather is high grade, and all the amenities really wrap you in the "lap of luxury". whether cruising or towing....The truck towed the new TH effortlessly through the mountains of TN, VA,NC and WV...The EB is awesome..and the truck is smoother than my 13'..The medium duty Aisin tranny strapped to the medium duty Cummins is a great combination in a TV.

The Pearl White color really looks good with all the chrome accents..(I'm old school...I like chrome:B)

I like bling too buddy. You can look at any of my trucks and tell that. I wish Ram would come out with a better looking wheel for the duallys though. LOL

I like the Alcoa's. Just wish they were 18" or 19.5's. I wanted to go larger when I bought my truck with Alcoa's but they only had 10 lug.

Did you see these:

Why not just get a 17?

Not a big fan of aluminum truck. Maybe in 3 more years when I trade the 2016. I personally like the body style of the 2016 better than the 2017.

Ford man why don't you wait and buy the 2017 FORD it looks a lot better.

I really like the 2016 body style better. I saw the 2017 and liked it but not crazy about the Aluminum body. Maybe in 3 more years the bugs will be worked out of them. Insurance is about 20% higher on the aluminum bodies, based on my insurance company. A really good body shop that is in my town have been trained to work on the new F150s and they have told me terrible stories about them. These folks are all Ford family as well.
