ExpressThis13 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 So today is a good day. Ive been approved for a 2013 Ram 1500 Express Quad Cab 4wd True Blue Metallic Pearlcoat Chrome Clad 20's Hemi of course Now heres my delima. It has tow mirrors, trailer brake control, and rear view camera. The rear view camera doesnt bother me its actually kinda cool. My thing is the trailer brake and tow mirrors keep in mind it is a 1500 not a 2500 but my thing im not gonna be towing anything so it kinda seems to be a waist imo but however if I put some nice meaty tires on it with tow mirrors it would be kinda cool. So im just looking for thoughts here also im getting a good deal on the truck with incentives and sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBlack151 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) Congrats on the new truck. I agree the tows may look a little much on a 1500. I like when 1500's are lifted with meaty tires and have tows. Not sure if just tires may be enough to make it look okay though. Then again it's your truck buddy. I'm trying to decide if I want some tows on mine when I lift her, but I don't think I want to give up the power folding ones on there now since GM tows aren't power folding. Is there a chance you can talk with the dealership about trying to get them to swap out the mirror for the standard ones?

Mongosg8 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) Nice options to have. If they are included with the price the decision as already been made. Could be a bit much ..Like John stated ..maybe you can make a trade? Edited March 1, 2013 by Mongosg8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExpressThis13 Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 its how the truck is sitting on their lot. It has the tows n all and I have talked with them about switching out the mirrors for standard ones but it has indicators on the outside and I like that. I will take pictures but I will certainly see about standard ones or maybe check on ones that come on a sport. Now thats an idea.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBlack151 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I would definitely talk with the dealership about switching. Worse case scenario is the say no the tows stay on, but don't give in too easy. Then you can sell them to pay for the mirrors you prefer. Can't wait to see some pictures. This thing sounds sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 My personal opinion as a person that ordered a new RAM myself, is that the tow mirrors are ugly. I kept the stock Sport mirrors but did get the electric brake controller and hitch. JMO! Good luck and congrats!! Sent from my miniaturizer via tap dancing...

Chris@Adams Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 If you don't like the tow mirrors can't they change them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needham Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 RAM , makes a very NICE dark blue IMO, almost looks black. I got one coming too, but in black......looks like we got a few RAM owners around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Meadows Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I have no idea what the new, standard mirrors cost but I went the opposite direction on my 2003 Ram 1500.....very easy to swap out yourself if you can get a good enough deal on the truck. Pop off the door panels and they're only held on with 3 nuts...the studs are made into the mirror itself...plug in the wiring harness and reinstall....less than an hours worth of work and you have the mirrors that you like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECaulk Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Personally not a fan of the tow mirrors, but youre buying it i'm not. Make sure to take before and after pictures of the detail you perform after purchasing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExpressThis13 Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 I asked my salesman about standard mirrors and even sport mirrors as this truck has indicators, power and heated so we shall see in the morning when I go to sign my life away lol. The detail will come as soon as weather permitts. First things first though the badging is coming off and the detail lol. Of course I gotta get some exhaust looking at mufflex kits undecided between the DOD14M or DOD18M also whats a good intake for these trucks? Doesnt seem as if they are many options in that department. I was just going to do a Airaid Jr intake so just the tube and drop in filter you know something simple.

Chewy Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I have a mufflex14 sitting in my garage Eric!!! If you want to look at it, let me know. Heck, I may sell it to you if you ask nicely! lol. I meant to order the 18 but had a brain fart. I ordered mud flaps and an EZ down tailgate shock. Just need to figure out what floor mats to get and I'm done. Then I'll move onto the G8 modding. Vararam makes a nice ram air intake! Check out www.ramtrucks.com forum for more info! Sent from my miniaturizer via tap dancing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyAcadia09 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Great looking truck! I have a '12 express single cab in that color and it looks amazing when cleaned with Adams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluezey Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I don't know, if it were me, I'd leave it like it is. 'cause you never know when you might have to tow something. But then again that's me. BTW; that's a nice p/u! Bluezey:pc: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianT Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I have a 2500 Cummins and I didn't order the tow mirrors!! They are too big, and really should be for the dually! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExpressThis13 Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 Chris sell that to me please!?!? Lol if your serious though I can buy that off you heck I was tore between the 2 but you meant to get the 18 ill take that 14 off you for sure chris. As far as the tows I just woke up so I'm not even there yet lol we shall see As far as mats chris I'm goin weathertech 100% I had them in my chevy and they are by far the best thing I ever bought besides tires to keep me safe lol sent from tapatalk using my thumb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 WT's are in all three of our vehicles now, but with the floor storage, I'm thinking a rubber mat that flips up easily may be nice. The 14 is yours if you want it. It's brand new of course and it bolts right in to the stock location. Heck, I'd help you install it if you want. Wait... Do you have the duals under the bumper on the Express? I don't think you do so poo, that won't work! Sent from my miniaturizer via tap dancing...
