That is one feature that I wish mine had or any dodge had, buddy of mines DMAX has it, and it is an awesome feature at night! I mean how are we supposed to remember what each button does and where it is in the freakin dark????

Same way you remember where the gas, brake and clutch pedals are and what they do.

Same way you remember which buttons do what on the radio controller (BEHIND the wheel and not visible).

Same way you remember which gears are where at night; the geatshift **** isn't lighted either.

Practice, practice and learn what the different buttons feel like - they all have different textures.

My wife's 2003 Chrysler Town and Country's cruise control switches do not light up either....and only the driver's window switch has a little green dot lit up. On a 2002 we looked at, all of the window switches lit up as well as the power door lock switches. I thought maybe something was wrong with my wife's van....but the dealer said CD cut those illuminated switches out as a cost saving measure. When you are buying a 34K mini-van, I think that is ridiculous to cut sh-t like that out. Likewise, I could see it on a base model truck, bt the Laramie at minimum should have it. It's little things like that that irritate me with DC.

While lighted buttons would be kind of nice....I've never had any problem setting my cruise control at night.

OK, I thought I'd get mine in here also. These trucks don't have any side maker/turn signal lamps either. Most of the little foreign econ boxes have them and most way too expensive luxo cars have them, even the POS Ferds with TT mirrors have them. It would be real nice to have some turn signal lamps on the mirrors so when you pulling a load and want to change lanes yo can let those A Holes that decide to attempt to pass you that you are coming over
OK, I'm done

in many asian and europeian markets, by law they need side marker lights on their vehicles... not too many dodge rams are sold out of north america...

Don't forget about one lil thing with turn signals in the mirrors... normal driving, it'd be good. But when towing... where's the arrow gonna point?
