You got a spec in mind? I'm in impressed with the options mine has for the money and it's no where near loaded out.
Cheapest spec with a heated fucking steering wheel. No idea what that is...I haven't looked at all.
Yeah, you can get that for pretty cheap on a Big Horn

True. I didn't think I cared about that stuff but I kinda wish I got the V8 in the back of my mind because they sound so good. I have 0 need for a V8.

Truck is awesome though. Every time I get in it I'm pleasantly surprised by the interior design and quality.
My dad is looking at used Impalas and 300s to replace his current car and I told him don't drive a new ram because he will want one.
It's super nice. Feels more like a big SUV than trucks I remember driving in as a kid

Sweet. With employee pricing and 10k miles per year, hoping to hit mid-$200/mo. I'd be OK with a quad cab, don't need a crew cab.

This would be the wife's vehicle BTW, so I don't care about anything other than the heated steering wheel.

The hate is making it a sole purchase reason for a vehicle. I'll mention a new vehicle to my wife (not even with any intention of buying, just "hey...that thing is neat") and the first fucking question out of her mouth is if it comes with a heated steering wheel.

I'm actually pretty sure she's :trollface: me at this point...she has to be.

But she absolutely WILL NOT consider ANY vehicle that doesn't have a heated steering wheel. It's an instant :nope:

Yeah, I couldn't care less about a heated steering wheel - we have them on some of the Mazderps and it's not a game changer for me.

Heated seats, though - that's a must.
Heated seats don't just warm you up, but they can also be therapeutic on a sore back...or after a tough/stressful day. I too really like heated seats.

They can also keep your pizza warm on the ride home.

Once she makes a big deal out of something like this, she'll NEVER let it go ever. Even if she doesn't care that much after a while.

GTI was my first car with heated seats. I thought it was NBD until I got the Mazda and it didnt have them. I won't go without them again unless I move to Florida or something.

Never used a heated steering wheel so we'll see this winter

I wanna try one out sometime to see what the fuss is about.

I want cooled seats on my next car. That would be awesome.
