Do the manuals suffer in resale? It seems like their rarity would help them. Kind of like in older cars.

Not sure. Something I'll look into. But, same as color of the truck, if I keep it as long as I plan to it's kind of a moot point.
Here's a better representation of the green.
So what do you guys know about the rambox storage combined with a gooseneck trailer? Ram's factory add on fifth wheel/gooseneck tow package won't work with the rambox, but a B&W will. From what I can find online it just has slight interference with some fifth wheel hitches (which I have no intention of ever having), and will clear a gooseneck fine assuming the front of the trailer isn't squared off (for interference with cab).
I like the idea of the rambox. I'm not sure if I'm getting a gooseneck trailer or not, but would definitely need to have a truck that allows it if I go that route. Also, I know an 8ft bed would be better for a bed mounted hitch, but I just don't want/need that big of a truck...

I have never heard anything bad about the "rambox" storage. In fact the only thing I have heard about them is that they are freaking awesome.
As for the towing scenario, I don't think they would have built a megacab dually if the bed length was going to hinder the towing at all. Lots of short beds around here pull goosenecks. Sure a longbed would give you more cab to trailer clearance but is that extra 18" or so needed.

Gotcha. Just trying to confirm as much as possible before pulling the trigger on this thing.
why does that brown look so solid? if it where a true rootbeer brown with a good amount of metallic and a bit darker, I'd totally be digging it...
the 014 brown looks so good, that 015 looks like diarrhea......

I rest my case.
Might just be the light. Seems like the pictures ram has on their site don't look accurate. Hard to say.why does that brown look so solid? if it where a true rootbeer brown with a good amount of metallic and a bit darker, I'd totally be digging it...

That's hilarious.
Id like it with a tan interior... I'd want a tan interior for the green too...
white, gray and black are soooo boring... I hate white on ANY vehicle... it's like you have no imagination IMO...

Yes that green is awesome!Here's a better representation of the green.

The only downside to the Rambox storage that I've heard is that you lose a little bed space above the wheels but how often do you need that space?
Yeah, I can't say it's all that necessary. Especially since my old z71 was a step side. The rambox seems super handy for sure.
I need to look again, but the tan interior in the Laramie is not my favorite. Something about it seems like it's trying to be too fancy. It would make more sense than black since my dog is red/tan...
So many damn decisions!
Yah no sympathy here buddy. Gee should I get 5 he tan interior or a different color. Lol
Pretty sweet to be making those decisions!
BTW everyone I know that has a newer Dodge without the ram box wishes they would have got it. Everyone that has it loves it. Of course that's only 4 people 2 with 2 without
I know, it's definitely a first-world problem
I absolutely wanted the rambox, just wasn't 100% sure it'd work with a gooseneck if I were to go that way.

I can't see it being a problem with a gooseneck. A fifth wheel maybe. I doubt there would be any issue with a gooseneck
That seems to be the case from what I can find.

Here's another wrinkle. Do you need the HD? How about a new 1500 w/ the smaller diesel? 240 hp, 420 lb-ft, 1600 lb payload, 9200 lbs towing, 28 mpg and it's a good $10k less than a 2500. You can still get it w/ the quad cab and bed side boxes.

I'm seriously thinking about trading in my 2500 for a new diesel 1500 next year for all the reasons above.

I just think that 9200 lb towing capacity puts me awful close with my Blazer and a pretty small trailer. If I add tools and other extras I think it's too close. I'd really rather have too much truck than not enough.
The 2500s are more money than the 3500 comparably equipped, so it's not worth it to go that route either really.
Unless I'm severely mistaken.

Or..............
Just put the $60K you are planning to throw at a tow rig, trailer and insurance directly into the Blazer. Then drive it wherever you want....
Simple.
