Positive Notes

[gmoney0818]

Picked mine up from Koons on Thursday and everything went smoothly with the sale including additional discounts and incentives added when I arrived. They had a few others there in different colors than mine. Although they were nice as well I preferred the white and reconfirmed my choice. Drove the 200 mile trip home in a mixture of stop and go, heavy traffic, and when lanes opened up kept it between 45-60 mph with occasional bursts to pass during the 500 mile engine break in. Made it home and odometer said 17.1 mpg. Drove around town at home since then and put on @ another 100 miles. My average now is about 14.5 mpg. The truck is mint. Bigger, badder, and more than I could’ve hoped for. No battery issues, power and acceleration is there, huge interior, super comfortable and transmission is so smooth cannot even tell when it shifts gears. Again, no negatives other than uconnect is kinda slow to react. Other than that so happy with staying the course and not backing out.

Congrats! Bad ass truck!

What were the additional incentives and discounts?

Did you finance with Koons? What rate did you get?

I'll be picking up with them soon. PM me if you don't want share here. Thanks.

So glad to hear this and thanks for sharing. I will hopefully be getting mine in the next 2 weeks.

The graphics on the hood and rear really look nice.

Mine is black, so I didn’t order the graphics, but now wish I did. They’d be very subtle, and the hood graphics might also act as a bit like PPF

Yeah they had another white one there and the truck looked completely different. I know it was an expensive option but well worth it IMO.

I totally agree. I know others mentioned the high price, and plan on buying them aftermarket and DYI, but without some sort of placement guide or template like I’m sure they use at the factory, I don’t trust myself to put it on precisely.

 

[gmoney0818]

Exactly. If I didn’t order them right away I would have never found the time later to do it myself or to be that precise!

That’s exactly what I want for my truck. I want them but I want them to be like a clear matte vinyl to only be seen at certain angles and blend with truck. Not contrast.

I saw pic of a black one with the decals and fits the description perfectly like you want. Looked really good. However, all of the ones the dealer had when I picked up none of them had the decals.

You can find it on etsy

I didn’t get decals either because there are so many companies making great decals and with really unique designs and colors for a lot less money. I couldn’t justify paying ram $1390 for stickers.

That's why I will be making my own their prices are nuts

Thank you for sharing something positive. Feels rare on here lately. Keep us up to speed on how the next few weeks progress.

Absolutely! Prior to picking the truck up I was quite discouraged after reading so many negative posts and reviews to the point I was ready to cancel. Glad I didn’t and just wanted to share something positive for those on the fence.

I saw these online and will probably give them a try when my truck gets in. Looks the same at a fraction of the cost. Hoping the quality is good.

The issues are hopefully the minority. Not every new RHO owner is on this forum, nor do the vast majority who’ve taken order have major issues. Good stuff.

I know these are the opposite of subtle but these designs are pretty sweet.

I remember seeing those in another post a while back. Who makes those?

Rumble wraps.. I spoke with their president and founder about clear matte decals and he said that’s on the board and they are working on those!

APEX makes some great ones as well. So what I intend to do is get stealth PPF to give my entire truck a matte/satin finish. Then I’ll buy the glossy decals to give me truck the complete opposite look from what comes from factory (glossy truck, matte decals)
