Outdoorsman model 1500 Ram, crew cab a loaded model. I love the express down and up electric windows, makes it easy for those quick elk pictures while in the Rockies. This truck is ready for elk season. This media truck had a gun rack in the bedrail weather poof RamBox storage for two rifles with scopes. A better option over guns in scabbards on the truck floor. The Outdoorsman model has a complete trailer option package with mirrors, brake controller, heavy duty engine and transmission cooling , the Hemi 5.7L MDS, 3.92 axle ratio, 6.5 screen GPS, and backup camera. My favorite option, double folding center console storage that folds up for the middle seat. So a six  passenger, hard to find, which comes in handy when we are combining trips to save gas. We keep adding grandchildren, I need all the seats I can get.

The Ram was level with an empty 3 horse Logan Coach, though I'd recommend a 2 horse for the nice riding rear coil suspension. rear coils, have more movement with a trailer than leaf springs. A weight distributing hitch would be good. Ram rides like a car, rear coils, independent front suspension with rack and pinion steering, so much better than a heavy duty 3/4 ton. The dome light has 3 settings, bright, less bright for sleeping kids which is also the settings for the light in the GPS screen. I like to leave my headlights on in the daytime but that can mess with seeing the GPS screen, in this Ram, you can adjust the screen for lights and daytime with the dome switch.

My driving produced 11.6 mpg with trailer in the mountains. Which is what you expect from a gas engine. Diesels shine when loaded and gas engines win driving empty.

Rated by the EPA at 13 mpg city and 19 mpg highway. It gets that high on the highway by the MDS shutting off 4 cylinders when it can, sensing load and terrain. On level highways with no load, it will run on just 1/2 it's cylinders for impressive fuel mileage.

Retail sticker price is $44,310 for the SLT crew cab with premium cloth on a 40/20/40 front seat with a double storage tray center console, 5-speed auto, front and rear rubber mats, (the good kind for hunting mud) Outdoorsman Group which has auto dimming outside mirrors,  nice, power lumbar in the seat, black door handles, black mirrors, black grill and bumper, 115 volt outlet, 32 gallon tank, (a big deal on a 1/2 ton) anti-spin 3.92 rear axle ratio, skid plates, towing mirrors, Alpine surround sound, 9 speakers and subwoofer under the rear seat. GPS, voice command, trailer brake controller, sprayed-in bedliner, power rear sliding window and much more. Call it a super loaded truck.

Dexter torsion axles with self adjusting brakes takes away the maintenance worry. Aluminum skin is attached with 3M bonding, this keeps the skin from ripping at rivets with expansion and contraction from the seasons. The roof is one piece aluminum with an expansion channel for the roof to flex without tearing. LED marker and tail lights, swing-out saddle rack with strut assist and insulated triple walls in stall area. Floors are self-draining with Whiz Proof aluminum flooring that won't let the urine puddle under the mats, E-Z reach drop down stall door latches can be reached by anyone.
