And this guy followed me home. I shall call him stubby. 2017 4x4 hemi tow package with hooks and skid plates 7100 miles still got warranty until December. But the biggest surprise it’s a big horn with the nice interior heated seats and wheel.

25900 I might of overpaid a little but wow do I like it. I could of got an Express trim for 21000 to 23000 but big horn! Damn that’s a stupid name. The bed cover was a nice bonus.

Truck lyfe!

I loved my 2015 Ram 1500. Enjoy it, it’s a great truck. Couple things...

Dump the plastic bedliner and get a spray in. And if you have dual exhaust tips you can make it sound incredibly badass for around $300

Thanks bedliner is first on the list. Then maybe paint the tow hooks red. It does need to be sound tougher.

Aw, he’s cute! Hi Stubby.

That looks like the right combination of comfy ride and legitimate work truck.

Very nice! I like the standard cab!  My dad is looking to dump his Ford diesel (6.0) and go to one of these. The 6.0 has finally broken down one too many times even for him.

Now supercharge or turbo it, then some drag radials on all 4 corners.

It’s an automatic “Nice ” for being a modern single-cab pickup, but even without that this is a very nice truck - good find!

I think it might be in unicorn level of rareness.

Congrats, I love seeing a nice regular cab truck. That dial shifter takes a while to get used to though.

Redline Red? I love the Dodge red. I might be biased

Ps I love your new truck, so simple and honest! Congratulations on the new purchase!

yea it’s a deep pleasant rumble but not obnoxiously loud

Thx I figured it’d match my Boss.

My buddy that in black. It looks so much better in red. Very nice!

You got that right. If you turn it off in drive it let's you know and moves itself to park. I don't think they did that at first.

I've seen precisely one. This one.

Unicorn status acheived!

Reg cab Short box and 4x4 in a bright color and high trim.

Wow I like it.

Very cool truck. Love the stubby look of the regular cab shorty.

I ordered a reg cab short box 4x4 Big Horn Hemi with 3.92 gears for one of my company trucks. It  was the ultimate sleeper from a stop light.  

Most folks have no idea reg cab Rams are   700 lbs. lighter than a similarly equipped Crew Cab.

Too cool. That must of made that scoot. This has a 3.21. The one box I would of checked is a limited slip but this has the 4x4 auto which I just started messing with.

Thx. Didn't want to spend that much but so far no buyers remorse. It's alot more fun to drive than I thought it'd be.

I just started looking at some trucks and didn’t know this was a thing. I used to drive an E250 for work and loved the column shifter . Have you used one of the dial shifters before? Looks like it frees up the center console but might be hard to operate with gloves on or if you have limited hand dexterity.

I occasionally drive one for work but I’m used to a column shifter. So every time I have to use it I reach for the column and get annoyed finding nothing there. I think its pretty easy to turn with gloves on. Its pretty big and has decent traction on it.
