Reason? We like it. We like the extra space for the dogs, and for stuff. Apparently, it is located somewhere in the rear suspension area of the truck. Put there when built at the RAM factory. With a operating switch in the dash of the truck. It provides auto-rear-leveling when there is a...

Yes, you're right. The RAWR is 9,750. We did get the factory pucks, if that's what you mean? And also auto leveling rear air package.

I'm planning to tow a heavy 5th wheel with this truck: 2019 RAM 3500 MegaCab - Longhorn - DUAL Rear Wheel - 6’4” Box H.O. Cummins 1000 ft lb torque, Aisin Transmission Here are my truck's capacities: Axle Ratio: 4.10 GVWR 14,000 lbs Curb Weight: 8,978 lbs Max...

Thanks, for those suggestions!

Truck hasn't arrived yet, so that's an option to consider when we sit down with the F&I guy. We don't usually keep vehicles beyond the factory warranty period - but is the MaxCare warranty something we should have, for sure? Can it be purchased later? What is the most that we should pay for it?

I could live without the emblem on the hood. But it doesn't bother me. The grill... to my eyes, that's the best-looking front-end, of any recent year truck, by any maker, I've ever seen! :)

garthom5.... SWEET! Fantastic truck, isn't it! Is yours a Crew Cab with Short bed? What hitch for the 5th wheel?

Well, I finally got it all dialed in as to what I wanted. And, struck a deal. $86,645 MSRP $74,621 DEAL and no quibbling on getting good value for my trade. It's not a "steal" but considering that there isn't one other truck that we want, with the features we want, and the colors we want within...

I'm looking at a RAM 3500 DRW with MSRP of 85,845 and an advertised price of 73,804. Which is about 14% off MSRP. Does anyone have any idea if I might reasonably get a deal paying somewhat less than that, for such a truck?

Oh man... have you seen those YouTube videos of people driving RVs under "low" overpasses. Some of them seem to think that if they just drive slowly, it will be ok. :eek: Eye opening videos to watch. I kept a height note beside me when I was traveling with my 43' diesel pusher also. Smart...

Thing is, you can get a much better deal on a truck that's already in inventory - if you can get what you want that way.

Thank you everyone for the input! I have decided to hold out for a truck with Auto level air suspension and without Ram boxes! None of my local dealers have a MegaCab DRW short bed so equipped in stock. Seems the ones they had all sold in the last week or so! How often do dealer stocks get...

Auto Leveling Airbag system???? I don't know enough about this feature - can you help? This truck has more than enough towing & payload capacity for my 5th wheel needs, BUT... it does NOT have Auto Leveling Airbags. Should I pass on it for that reason? Or - am I likely to do just fine...

If buying a Ram 3500 MegaCab for towing a 5th wheel, do the auto leveling airbags make a significant difference? Would it be just as good to add them on later - aftermarket - or much better to get the truck with them in the first place. Reason I ask is that I've found a truck that would meet...

Yeah... that sure surprised me. I wonder if someone made a typo somewhere. :eek: NO air bag system, though. Would I regret not getting that? All the other aspects of the build are just what I would want.
