<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tp123, post: 11583382, member: 323299&quot;]My father-in-law has a single truck hotshot business. He employs a driver and doesn&#039;t do the driving himself. He&#039;s looking to replace his 2017 RAM 2500 which has served him well, with a new one. Since dealerships have limited stock, he&#039;s going to have to order it. We&#039;re trying to find the right balance between features and price. Hoping the experienced people here could give us some advice on how to spec out the truck. </p><p><br /></p><p>RAM 2500 Tradesman Crew Cab 4x4 8&#039; Box</p><p>-6.7L I6 Cummins Turbo Diesel (non-HO)</p><p>-6-speed 68RFE Transmission</p><p>-3.73 Axle Ratio</p><p>-18-inch x 8.0-inch steel wheels</p><p>-LT275/70R18E BSE All-Season Tires</p><p><br /></p><p>Options we&#039;re debating:</p><p>-50-gallon Fuel Tank - $295</p><p>-Engine Block Heater - $95</p><p>-Power Black Trailer-Tow Mirrors w/ Manual Fold-Away - $195</p><p>-Clearance Lamps - $95</p><p>-LED Bed Lighting - $165</p><p>-Spray-In Bedliner by Mopar - $600</p><p>-Uconnect 4 with 8.4-inch display - $795</p><p>-Rear Window Defroster - $195</p><p>-Front and Rear Rubber Floor Mats by Mopar - $150</p><p>-115-VOLT Auxiliary Front Power-Outlet - $210</p><p>-Trailer Brake Controller - $295</p><p><br /></p><p>Are these worth it?</p><p>-Towing Technology Group - $2525</p><p>-Safety Group - $2890</p><p>-RAM Telematics - $800 </p><p>** Does this replace the ELD?</p><p>-Rear Backup Alarm - $145</p><p>** Is this necessary considering it should have a rear backup camera standard?</p><p>-Upfitter Electronic Module (VSIM) - $345</p><p>** Would we need this for anything?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
