they look badass They are also standard on non-Laramie Power Wagons (front only). You would think they'd be an "upgrade" of sorts, as I would rather them over the chrome version that comes with the Laramie. | |

| ya, I don't like chrome anywhere, so the sport was perfect for me. You just have to put more on it to get everything you get on a laramie. The only thing I think I lost was heated rear seats, memory pedals and back up camera,
none of which I need or want ____________________________________ 2023 Tundra Crewmax Platinum 4x4 2016 Tundra Crewmax Platinum 4x4 2013 Ram 1500 Sport 4x4, 5.7, 8-speed, Maximum Steel Metallic 2010 Tundra 4x4 5.7 , 33" Cooper ST Maxx on RW Wheels (sold)

| It came in to the dealer yesterday, I signed everything today and they are ordering my tires.
I pick it up monday with the wheels and tires I want on it.
i took it for a test today and man that exhaust on the sport sounds good.
the 3.92 was WAY better than the 3.55 I origionally test drove.
It simply looks bad ass.
can't wait to see it with the black wheels and 33" LT BFG AT KO on it.
Also, they matched the on-line quote i got for the lifetime warranty at 2185 so that paid for my tonneau Bak F1. ____________________________________ 2023 Tundra Crewmax Platinum 4x4 2016 Tundra Crewmax Platinum 4x4 2013 Ram 1500 Sport 4x4, 5.7, 8-speed, Maximum Steel Metallic 2010 Tundra 4x4 5.7 , 33" Cooper ST Maxx on RW Wheels (sold)

| got it last night after a long day at a tank pull.
phuckin baddass
one hiccup, I had a message that said "service shifter", but it went away this morning so I am chalking it up to a brand new truck breaking in and we'll see if it comes back
I want to get my new center caps on before I post pics which should be here wed/thurs.
i also ordered a F1 tonneau from Bak.
Wound up getting the lifetime bumper to bumper for 2185 so I was stoked about that.

| ha, this thing will probably never see a trail. Number one, I don't have time, secondly, I don't have time. Third, I really don't have time. And besides, I kinda got over that stage with my 2005 Power Wagon. Too much money to ruin and with a 2 year old, I don't have time. | |

| That's slick. I can make out the metallic in the paint from the pictures. That floor cubby in the driver rear floor board, how many cans will it hold? The BakFlip cover you have on order is compatible with the ram box? I think your truck holds the record for cubbies, hiding, locking, unique storage and hauling options, good gawd! I think DOT requires pre-flight inspections be performed before taking off. | |

| yup, they (floor storage) are on both sides. they are deep. also has under rear seat storage
LOL, at the pre flight check.
seriously, this thing has TONS of storage and hauling options.
the bed divider that comes with the Rambox option is phucking great, they really had their thinking caps on, it doubles as a bed extender as well
Can't wait to get the F1 tonneau.
Those pics don't do the paint justice when the sun is out, looks a lot better even in person ____________________________________ 2023 Tundra Crewmax Platinum 4x4 2016 Tundra Crewmax Platinum 4x4 2013 Ram 1500 Sport 4x4, 5.7, 8-speed, Maximum Steel Metallic 2010 Tundra 4x4 5.7 , 33" Cooper ST Maxx on RW Wheels (sold)

| Thanks Greg, it came out awesome, the only chrome is the thin strips on the grill which look perfect. Gotta love the way these RAMs look. Now, if it can only hold up as well as my tundra did. Not a single glitch in 52K, nothing, not even a burnt out light bulb.

| That's a nice rig.
Mine has been trouble free so far, about to head to Colorado and back in it. The gas mileage so far has been better than I've expected too.
Turn off traction control and turn on tow/haul mode and take it for a spin. Hang on though.... | |
