Hey everyone.
Quick background on me: I am currently in the market for a 2015 half-ton truck. I am looking at both the Silverado and Ram. I was leaning towards the Silverado for the longest time, until I really started to research it. There seems to be an awful lot of problems with their redesigned truck. Frame rust, paint peeling, vibration, and the new 8 speed tranny is apparently pretty wonky. So, I started to dig into Ram and read some reviews, build some trucks on ramtruck.ca, and I was surprised! The interior, styling, and power from that Hemi 5.7 is almost parallel with GM's 6.2. Needless to say, I am now leaning towards a Ram.
I really like the Sport and how it looks, but it doesn't come with the interior design and features I want. I am very big on technology and comfort. (heated and cooled everything, comfortable leather, navigation, big screen, adjustable everything, etc.) If I'm paying over 50k for a vehicle, I expect to be extremely comfortable and happy.
So, I am looking at the Laramie, Longhorn, and Limited. If I understand correctly, the Longhorn and Limited are simply appearance packages.
I am wondering, if it's really worth paying the extra for the Longhorn or Limited? I read a lot on here about the leather in the Longhorn and Limited and how amazing it is.
Also, the ram cargo box... does it come with a tonneau cover? Or do you need to buy one aftermarket?
I'm not a huge fan of the two-tone paint on the Laramie and Longhorn. I'm assuming the only way to get one solid color is to aftermarket color match it, correct? Speaking of aftermarket, stuff like intakes, tunes, and exhaust will all fit these top models?
Finally.. what do you guys think is the best time to go in and order one of these? (Of course, I'm going to test drive and think about it more before I decide on Ram over Silverado). If I custom order a truck, I won't have much negotiation in the price, right? Especially a top model?
Thanks guys...
