New 2012 Laramie PW Owner

Post by julesman64 » Thu Mar 21, 2013 6:16 pm

Just another Ram junkie wanting to say hi! Recently purchased a new '12 Laramie Power Wagon and couldn't be happier. Came from the dealership with 5" lift, air bags, rims and 35's. All it needs is some mud flaps and some running boards so I don't have to clamber up the side hanging on to the steering wheel to get in lol :D

When I was truck shopping I was torn between a PW or a Raptor. Went with the hemi and never looking back! Going to get a big bumper sticker that says "Raptor Killer" now :twisted: Pictures to come.....

Welcome to the crew!

Sounds like someone had started a project and traded it in - their loss is your gain on that!
I'm just along for the ride...

Heres a few for a start, unfortunately they are terrible iPhone pictures. I'll add some quality ones once the accessories are on this weekend. It was a special order from the dealership with the decal delete. I think it looks good with the clean look, maybe throw some chrome door badges on later. Picked it up as it is in the pictures brand new, only 7 kilometers on the odometer.

First time uploading pictures, hope they work.

You can see the airbag gauge and control panel under the dash. Gotta love the leather 40/20/40 bench!

All I know for sure is its a BDS brand kit. Here's a link to the Power Wagon specific lift on the website, I would assume this is the kit the dealer installed. They said they would fully warranty the lift since they installed it, so I just smiled and nodded..... :wink:

I'm actually surprised at how well it drives especially in the city. The only thing I notice is on the highway over 100km/60mph things get a little bouncy - but that's not what I bought it for anyway 8-)
