I did a quick search and found this list. A bit old but some companies are still on it. Looking for the 2021 list. Also this link...

FCA Affiliate Rewards

www.fcausaffiliates.com www.fcausaffiliates.com

Edit...updated with current list PDF. Also, anyone have a Tread Lightly membership discount code?

I was able to get a local dealership to quote me affiliate pricing. They just wanted a pay stub or way to verify my employment. Mark Dodge was cheaper because of the holdback removal IIRC
 
Not sure where you are getting $500 discount from Tread Lightly. I just looked into this and unless I have old information, joining makes you part of the "FCA Affiliate Program". Then, after 30 days of membership, you are eligible to buy your truck at 1% under Invoice when you close the sale. Dealers want to do this because FCA reimburses them by reducing their cost by your 1% and then gives them an additional 1% off as a bonus for participating in the program.

I just ordered a '22 3500 Limited 4x4 LB CC DRW and my local dealer offered me "Invoice" (he keeps the Holdback). (So glad I don't have to drive both ways from CT to New Orleans to trade my truck in and drive the new one home.)
And, I was going to save another 1% using Tread Lightly.

I worked on an order with my dealer and generated a final POC. A few days later, when I sat with the dealer and placed the order, we found that FCA increased the base price by $200 - from $67,570 to $67,770 and also the former "Delete 20" Wheels" credit (Option 57E) went from $500 down to $0 - thus, increasing the base price of a DRW Limited by $700.

So much for my 1% below Invoice strategy...

Gotcha. The 1% below is current info on their site. Just wanted to throw out the affiliate list for pricing for those not able to make it to Mark Dodge. Maybe @Kingphillips can elaborate on the coupon. The reply seemed like they give a $500 coupon. Curious on that now.
 
No coupon that I know of and it wouldn’t be stackable with Penfed if they did

Just called Tread Lightly. No coupon. Just the 1% below invoice w/FCA. Glad I cleared that up for myself. Haha! Coupon search continues! Thanks all!
 
Can anyone describe the PenFed $1,000 Bonus? Do you have to use their Buying Service (and how does that work) - or just finance with them.

That seems like a good sized reduction, but I don't want to antagonize my dealer by stacking too many other smallish reductions that don't add up to much.

Neither, just be a member for 60 days. I created a free savings account and put $5 in it. Then there is a link you use to get the $1000 coupon after 60 days.

I did premium online.

Does it matter which one? Will either allow for the bonus cash?
Called them. It doesn't matter. Regular savings allows for their buying and bonus cash.

Which dealer in ct? I’m in nj & would prefer not having to do the la drive as well.
 
I’ve been a PenFed member since March with a loan for my wife’s sewing machine (one of the really expensive ones lol). Just got my code from them for the $1000. It appears to be just the truecar process, but more $. They give you an auth code that is good for 60 days.

AMP Research makes an OBD2 splitter that'll give you 2 ports.

Very true, I just found that out when I ordered my AMP steps for my Bighorn last Saturday. I had asked for the hardwire version like I had on my 2015, so not to tie up my OBD 2 port. They said they no longer offered the hardwire version that they now have an OBD2 splitter.
