2011 Dodge Ram Laramie Longhorn 5.7l HEMI MDS 4x4 Automatic with Rambox in Sagebrush Pearl

Just wanted to post my truck as I wasn't able to find too much out there posted on this truck when I was shopping around so hopefully this helps someone out there.

I've had the truck since Canada Day Eve 2011. Love it so far. So comfortable even on a 10hr ride to Timmins Ontario. The fan cooled comfortable seats helped :) We christened her 'Jesse'. A Western themed name of a character from Toy Story 2&3 for a western themed luxury truck. (we have a young daughter :)

PRO's & thinks I like:

- Beautiful Longhorn edition Sagebrush Pearl paint scheme with designation medallions, western design themed dash/upholstery, guage cluster, floor mats, steering wheel, shifter, seats
- 20 inch wheel design
- Rambox system is very useful including the divider/extender, rail system, locking lit storage compartments on each side of bed, locking tailgate with built in camera
- Multipurposed MyGIG 730N/Alpine quality sound system with subwoofer, nice LCD Touch Display, Sirius/XM Satellite, AM/FM, DVD/CD player, USB iPod control, media player input, 10GB hard drive for music/nav files, integrated NAV, Hands free, reverse backing/hitching up camera and rear object sensory all works very well and easy to set up
- power moon roof and rear window
- very comfortable power seating with cooling/heating/lumber/position adjusters, all leather is real, feels/smells nice
- engine is more fuel efficient than my last HEMI, sounds nice with dual exhaust integrated into rear bumper, very powerful sinking you into seat when accelerating
- trip/compass computer integrated into dash
- large multipurposed swivel combo mirrors for towing
- night accent lighting all over interior locations and door entry is a nice touch
- 110V 170W power recepticle in dash
- storage compartments in floor and under rear seats, 2WD, AUTO, 4WD electronic selector seems to work well
- trailer wiring connectors are integrated into bumper with doors to conceal and keep them protected, clean and dry

CON's & dislikes:

- None yet, it's brand new. I may be biased too! Although, I really think they should've sold it with a matching western outfit from hat to boots :)

TODO's

- Since recording this video, I found a nice Longhorn baseball cap :) I've installed the MOPAR Rambox Cargo management system which includes dividers, false bottoms for the deep areas and nets for under the doors. This kit wasn't too expensive and will probably come in handy
- After doing a pile of research, I also installed a Bakflip G2 hard flipping tonneau cover that looks great & keeps the bed dry and secure with tailgate lock. It also opens fully to rear window giving you pretty much the whole length of bed with a nice protector for the rear window when hauling objects that might roll forward and smash the glass. I highly recommend it. Google them...there's videos of what they look like and how they work. Easy installation too. ( bakfliptonneaucover.com/dodge_crew_cab_with_rambox___details_ )
- I've acquired Mopar LED bed lighting and a 12V recepticle for the Rambox cargo compartments to be installed at a future date
- That's probably all I'll do for modifications, upgrades. I don't like to go overboard, just useful upgrades.

Awesome truck. I just ordered the same thing back in december - due for delivery in 2 weeks.

2012 1500 Longhorn sagebrush, I cant wait! Though I kind of wish I had a bit more cash to move up the the 2500 w/ the 6.7, but oh well.

@Cobrajr122 Great! Hope you enjoy it! I checked out the 2012 truck identicly equipped and painted to my 2011 to mine.  I noticed a few small differences for 2012. There's now a 'Longhorn' emblemed wheel that is treated with gold accents and a Laramie Longhorn emblem in the center of wheel. Leather package looks the same except the steering wheel seems to have more or different control layout.

This truck is amazing. I feel like a king whenever I'm touring it around in it!

Do you use it for towing or hauling? I have a 2008 Dodge Ram SLT 1500 with the HEMI and I use mine for towing a 8,500 LB trailer 5 days a week. I get around 10 MPG city with A/C on and towing the trailer. How has your mileage been? BTW, I have had not a single problem with my truck so far.

@volkswagenaustin03 I just picked mine up Canada Day Eve (June 30, 2011). I do most driving with my work van so the truck doesn't get much miles on it right now. Haven't towed with it yet either. :) Thanks for watching and commenting, enjoy the truck!

Nice truck man, i'll take a video of my Longhorn when I take possession, should be somewhere near end of February! I got a 2012 3500 Longbed 4x4...

[dafe1]

@Molson88 Good luck with your truck deal. Hope it goes smoothly. Let us know when you have some video online :)

[volkswagenaustin03]

@dafe1 I will, and I actually plan to buy myself a 2012 Dodge Ram 2500 with the Cummins Diesel this upcoming July. I will post a video when I get it.
