Default Just bought a 2017 Ram 1500 Express - Need some advice

Hey everyone!

I've been on the Dakota forums for a while but I sold my truck a while back, and finally got a Ram. I found a 2017 with really low mileage, so I feel like I did pretty good. However, there are a few things about this truck that I want to take care of soon. First, the truck didn't come with running boards, and my daughter has trouble climbing in. I'll definitely be adding some. I've been seeing some on Amazon by a company called "Tac" but I'm open to suggestions. What's a good set of running boards (or side steps, nerf bars, etc.) that won't break the bank?

Also, the radio is fine but I don't have bluetooth, or a backup camera. How standard are the radios, blue tooth and backup cameras on these trucks? Will another Dodge head unit fit right in, or will I need a whole new harness? Thanks in advance!

See if you can find something here that fits in your budget for step bars. In the past I went with Grizzly's because they are really nice, but the are more expensive than the ones on Amazon or eBay.
