Default How Many of You have a 2015/'16 XL with a 101A Package?

I was lucky enough to have ordered a low end model 2016 XL with a 101A Electronic Package. I traded a 2014 Limited for this truck and other than all of the Bell and Whistle that the Limited had on it I'm very pleased with my choice. As those that have one, you know that the XL 101A Package has power windows, power door locks, back-up camera, power tail-gate lock, heavy duty towing and manually folding mirrors, electric parking brake. I may have missed something but I was wondering how many of you have an XL with a 101A package?

I do and most others who have a XL do as well.

Some of the things you have listed are not part of 101A.
Towing Package and Backup Camera for instance.

PDL with Autolock
Pwr Tailgate Lock
Keyless Entry
Pwr Windows
Pwr Mirrors w/ Man. Fold
Illuminated Entry
Auto Headlamps
DRL with On/Off
Mykey
Perimeter Alarm
AM/FM/CD with Aux Jack
Cruise Control
4.2" Multicolor Productivity Screen
Sync w/911 Assist
Applink w/ USB Port
Boxlink w/ 4 Cleats

I had to pay extra for the 53A Towing Package and do not have a Camera.

Basically you get the XLT 300A interior and Boxlink minus the Carpet & Floormats, Armrest Storage and 4-Way Headrest. But you also get the 4.2" Multicolor Productivity Screen instead of the 2.3" Monochrome the XLT 300A gets.

I do, it had everything I needed and none of the extra frivolous bits. Love it!

Shortime, am I reading your signature correctly? Did you buy a Sport then put chrome bumpers on it? Can I take it it was cheaper to buy a Sport with the 20" Wheels then change bumpers instead of buying the wheels and tires?

I have the 101A package. It wasn't my first choice, but it was hard to find a Screw with 6.5 bed in my area. It worked out because I used the money I saved from not buying a higher trim model on an ATV and dirt bike to go with it. Next time I will custom order.

What features are you missing that you would custom order?

Not the person this was directed to but me personally, I would add 3 things if I had the option.

1. Armrest Storage
2. Heated Mirrors
3. R. Window Defogger

Those are the only things I've really found myself missing.
Strange thing is my 2010 Ram ST (Basically their XL) had all these either standard or included in the Popular Equipment Group (Basically their 101A).

I've got that 101A package and find it just about perfect for what I want or need.

Really, my XL is nearly an XLT from past years.

My old, old truck had puddle lights at the bottoms of the doors. I do miss that.

I have a 15 so not sure if options changed. 36 gal fuel tank, rear window defroster, mirrors with defrost, factory backup camera, AC power, and tailgate step. I have aftermarket camera, but not the same. Those options aren't expensive if ordered with truck but tough to add now.
