    Default Just bought a new truck... Ram 1500 Larimie..

    It has heated and air conditioned seats, and a heated steering wheel. Awesomeness.

    Looks like this one:

    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    Well, I should say a lightly used truck, not new. Though it does look pretty much exactly like that one. Even the same very dark green color.

    Air conditioned seats? Never heard of that one. Can't you get auto start and climb into a pre AC'd cab?

    Yup. And it does it automatically based on outside temps. If it is cold the seat and steering wheel heat up while it warms up. If it is hot the A/C and seat cooling starts with it.

    Too high tech for me. Wish they still sold cars with handles to roll the windows up. Also miss standard transmission. You have to pay about $2000 extra to special order it.
    But I do like my auto start living in Alaska. I could use the heated steering wheel too.

    You will find "friends" when you have a pick-up...
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    I still drive my 2005 F350. Only 122,000 miles and going strong. The body is in excellent condition, it runs like a champ, although I recently had to replace one of the cowhide seat bottoms.

    My '12 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland has all those bells and whistles. It just turned 150,000 miles, and everything still works flawlessly. The leather in the interior still looks great. Chryco has come a long way, and makes some great vehicles.

    What do you drive? Ditto. Wish my Subaru had a heated steering wheel. Don't have the auto start but I can plug it in on extra cold nights. Butt warming seats are awesome too.
