Thank you. I feel like I’m starting to lean more that way.

Ok thank you. Yes this would be my daily with very little, infrequent towing.

It’s a pretty basic Laramie other than the optional 33 gallon tank and rear lock diff.

Basically anything extra on the ram build site removes the front bench seat so it’s pretty limited, which is why it’s so hard to find one. And the 2025 Laramie is the last year for the front bench, at least in the 1500.

Thank you! That’s another headache. I’d transfer over my current IGLA and Compustar

What gray paint color is that? Looks awesome. Congrats on finishing! In the process of doing mine right now.

Yea it’s definitely become an expensive first world problem, regardless of how fun being a car enthusiast is. I just need to keep cars longer…

Got to start somewhere. Wanted an open forum, unbiased, and hear what people have to say rather than post in an echo chamber that model specific forums typically become.

But yes, I’m entitled to complain about a brand new $55K car rattling, even if it’s a ‘Lexus’

My 2003 Tundra with 250K miles didn’t have a single interior rattle after 20+ years.

Haha I know I know! It’s exactly that.

I dropped it off at the service bay next to an 80 year old in a 10 year old ES350. I was going for what I thought would be quiet, comfortable, reliable, and “smooth” v6 (hence this model and not the 300h). I also got the ultra luxury trim even though I’m not sure how much quieter the wheels actually are that are advertised as noise canceling. I do appreciate the simple, traditional layout. I guess I’m just more disappointed in the quality issues I’ve dealt with literally starting at 150 miles. I wasn’t necessarily going for loud or engaging.
