Next generation changes

[NWatchel]

I have a few more things I'd like to see.

- A better explanation of how the EB is actually supposed to work. As far as I can tell, the 'Auto' setting is just for looks, or it may very well be that mine is just not working as it should.
- I want my truck to remember my EB and Tow/Haul settings when I shut off and restart the truck.
- How about a Cruise Control that uses the EB? Mine will downshift and run to 3500+ but it does not matter what mode I have the EB in, it will not activate.
- Uconnect that works in Canada.
- Free map updates for the Nav.
- Indication of when the Ram Air is active.
- Manual front hubs.
- Option to switch to a different satellite for the Sirius/XM. Mine is on the XM system and up here in Canada that puts the satellite near the horizon so a semi truck passing me or a building over 1 storey causes my radio to cut out. My ancient portable Sirius never cut out except in the deep mountain passes of BC.

I live in BC. XM is USELESS! Who the hell thought that was a good idea putting XM in our trucks in Canada??? A bloody leaf falls off a tree and I lose the satellite connection.
I have to carry my Sirius Portable with me when I go through the mountains.

They need to put a larger Fuel Tank on the trucks. 32Gals is so so! If they can put a 50gal tank on the Chassis Cab models they can do the same on the trucks that come with a 6ft 4in or an 8ft bed.

Dead pedal delete option, step in bumper like Chevy and/or lower 2wd about 4 inches. A locking gas/def access door.

Get rid of the chrome handle on the console and the chrome bezel on the trans lever.....the sun reflects right off them into my eyes when the sun is to the right.....in fact the handle on the console reflects through the sides of my glasses.

Isn't that the truth!

NO SRW WITH CUMMINS AISIN COMBO SHORTBEDS, let's see, why would ram build a srw SHORTBED to pull a big5th wheel..? If one wants a SHORTBED, get a 5.7 hemi..love my truck, but hate yhe 6 foot 4 inch bed... It's like WHY. What were they thinking? Here is the problem... 1. Short box has 12300 max gvwr.. Pulling big 5th wheel pushed gvwr over. 2. Need special sliding hitch that weighs 200 lbs..cost of 2000.00.. I'd like to see extra cab again.. Who needs a truck with so much interior room that yhe bed length suffers.

You should have a dually anyway with the heavy pin weight of your trailer. My SB 3500 SRW with Cummins and Aisin is a good pulling machine and just what DW and I wanted. And my manual slider and and Demo picture frame did not cost 2K. Just because you made a mistaken purchase do not take away what many others like.

You bought a mega cab and want to see a extra cab again???????????????????????????

Oh and BTW the CC SRW LB has the same 12,300 GVWR. Extra weight of mega cab takes away carrying capacity. My CC is rated to tow heavier 5th wheel than you mega cab.

So again Boo

You don't "need" a $2000 "special sliding hitch", you can use a regular sliding hitch, or, depending on your trailer, you can get away without a slider if you just pay attention.

I have a shortbed with a Cummins,......I sure as hell wouldn't want a Hemi. You're being a bit dramatic.

Then whey did you buy a megacab? Get a CC long box....

The highest GVWR on any SRW is 12,300 so the short bed doesn't limit you, the SRW does.... but hey who really cares about GVWR??? It's a marketing number 99% of the time on a HD truck.

Had to laugh kthaxton. Agree. Dealer gave me a CCLB to drive for a few days. Seems everywhere I parked the truck just seemed too long. I know it's only about a foot and a half, but sure seems longer when parking it. Haven't had a CCLB in 15 years and hasn't been a problem.

Yer killin me! Another reason to get a new truck!

 

[MRinehart]

Yep I like all of those suggestions.

 

[terb]

I heard that all 2500/3500s will come with the highest HP motor and the best transmission at no extra cost. Also a optional 48 Gallon fuel tank!!.......My Bad I'm thinking of the new
Ford's.
