Ram 2500 Steering

So the dealership is ordering me another truck and taking this one back with 10,000 miles and almost a year old. All I’m paying is the difference in the MSRP which is about $3500.00.
I think this is the best I have every heard of any dealership treating a customer in a situation like this.
I could not be more pleased.

Cool, how is the replacement truck different? Won’t have the same issue?
 
If you buy the Limited edition the adaptive steering is part of a package that you can’t buy in separate pieces like the Harmon Kardon stereo, large display, Adaptive Cruise Control and stuff like that.
I stepped down to the Longhorn Edition and you can order those pieces individually without getting the package that includes the adaptive steering.
 
If I’m going slow across a parking lot I can turn the steering wheel almost 90 degrees and the truck still goes straight.
Yeah F that. I cannot tolerate when a machine tries to think it knows what I want. This “smart” phone almost gets thrown daily haha.

That sounds like a useful work around.
Its awesome that your dealership is looking out for you as well.

The steering isn’t as aggressive as the older models which is what I liked but it’s way better than the truck the dealership bought back.

Overall I love the truck.
There are several improvements.
The Harmon Kardon stereo I mentioned earlier makes my ears feel 20 years younger.
The headrests are now adjustable and weren’t in older models.
I ordered the air ride rear suspension which has a lowered position for trailering which I keep it in at all times because it just makes the front and rear level. Of course no matter how much weight is on it, it sits level.
No more headlights pointing toward the sky when it’s loaded.
The headlights turn with the steering wheel which was an original (Preston) Tucker innovation and an extra headlight comes on to the side when the wheel is turned sharp.

Another is the large infotainment screen which I appreciate most when I’m using Nav.

The only problem with this truck is that there is nothing that lets you sense the difference between 40 mph and 90 mph. It is a ticket getter.
Got pulled over last week doing 70 in a 55 where I know there are 2 troopers running radar a couple times per week. Talked my way out of a ticket and caught myself just in time the next day or he would have caught me at the same place again at the same speed.
I don’t drive it everyday because I have a company vehicle I run the miles up on.
 
Well shit! One of the two guys running this dealership (the sales manager) passed away yesterday.
As I mentioned in an earlier post I’ve know these two since we were teenagers.
They’re both younger than me.
The one that passed has always maintained a great reputation as a good and honest person.
Enough with the death stuff already!
