I already drove a '25 Ram with the 3.0 I6 (Hurricane). One is for sale at my local dealer. They aren't coming off sticker yet but I imagine they will be as soon as more dealers receive them.
Oh wow! I didn't realize they were already being built. How was the turbo 6?
It was good. It felt as quick as a standard EcoBoost but not as peppy as a PowerBoost. Other than that, it was your typical Ram truck. I imagine that with an advertised 24 MPG on the highway, it will help sales. The 17 MPG in the city is kind of a downer but if it had a hybrid/generator option with a 30 amp plug in the back, I'd be taking a second look but Ram doesn't have that...yet. For basic towing and standard truck stuff, I bet it will do well. I think the 8-speed transmission has held up over time and those bugs have been worked out so if the engine does well, they may have a winner. Time will tell.
One would think Ford would have ironed out any issues with the PAT prior to taking orders for the 24's and certainly before schedualing build dates.
That truck has an MSRP of $88,370. That is an impressively high number however, what is more impressive is that it had a blend date of March 7th...5 days ago!!
So no bed cams on Lariat, but yes on Platinum Plus at least. Wonder what the KR trucks come with…First Platinum I've seen in the wild. No new tailgate but it does appear to have the bed camera.

Yes. The blend date is the date that the body and chassis are “blended” and put together. Unless a strike, pandemic, or other uncommon delay, it’s pretty accurate. There are some other variables but after the blend date, it takes about 1.5 shifts until the truck leaves final assembly. From there it is either routed to be shipped (purgatory for a lot of ‘24s so far) or sent for other parts that are not put on during the assembly process (sprayed in bedliner).
KR's *should* have the bed cams as well. - However, "should" and "will" cannot be verified until such time as we (finally) see one in the wild...
