Dumb question, what size receiver hitch comes on the 3500 from the factory? Is it 2 1/2 inches or 3 inches?

All my research says 2.5” But I just stopped by my dealer for a status update and saw a 2500 SRW on the lot and using my iPhone measure app it was 3 inches.

Has anyone had their truck delivered from Mark Dodge a long distance? I'm curious if they drive it to you or put it on a trailer.

They are 1000 miles from me, so if someone is gonna put a thousand miles on the truck, I think I'll fly there and do it myself.

I plan on having mine shipped from them to me.

Your dealer adds the option when they place the order. It just guaranties you get your locked in price.

Price Protection
Price Protection is available on sold orders to protect the customer from price increases which occur between the vehicle order date and the KZ (invoice) date. A claim for Price Protection must meet the following criteria:
The sale must be documented by a signed and dated buyer’s order which details the agreed upon selling price at the time of order and secured by a customer’s deposit with receipts at time of order. Dealer must print and retain the Order Confirmation
Ordered new for immediate production, or selected from dealer stock orders not yet invoiced, and delivered to the original customer

Must be delivered within 14 days of the date the vehicle is received at the dealership (KZX date)
Must be delivered to the customer whose name is on the factory order and subsequent factory invoice at the documented agreed upon price at time of order
You must claim Price Protection by inserting the price protection program number on the Exception Claim Entry Screen when reporting the sale. Program numbers are in the Pricing Announcements and stored in DealerCONNECT eFiles under Sales.
Price Protection claims are made via "DealerCONNECT > Sales > Incentives Claims Processing > Incentive Claim Entry > Exception Claim Entry"

Yes. There was a member in NorCal I believe that had one shipped. It goes on a trailer. There are a lot of people in AZ and SoCal that ordered from Mark Dodge (prior to Andrea in AZ). Most of us are looking to have them shipped. You’re probably looking at $0.80-$1.20 per mile.

here’s the shipping info from the NorCal member:

The tranporter I used was:

ON-WAY Logistics
4005 Manzanita Ave
Suite 6-135
Carmichael CA 95608
916 672-0361

They are based in Carmichael (Sacramento).

The Broker was:
Secure Auto Shipping

Well I sent Sandi my build.

MSRP $67,680
Her offer $59,961 + 444 Doc

And you’ll also get any other discounts that RAM offers…like if the truecar discount is extended to 2022s….you get a personal offer from RAM. etc.

They upped their doc fee from 200 to 444 a couple months ago.

Did your POC show the optional "Price Protection"?
If that option does not appear on your POC it gives the
dealer the option to raise pricing in relation to FCA price increases.

I waited 8 months for my truck and the price was exactly what the dealer
and I agreed on the day I ordered it. He had put on the "3AB Price Protection" option.

Well that's really going to peeve me off... big time. I don't see any indication of price protecting, and I'm not paying $5K or so more since these prices have been clicking up over the last 3 months.... I'll bow out and keep the 2021.

I try and leave Sandi alone for the most part once I got my order in, that was a back and forth a lot to get it all figured out. I then reached out after builds started. Then first week of September like she told me to do. And 2 other emails in the between about us being protected on them chopping packages and again yesterday to try and understand the scheduling after I posted those builds that won the lottery and the one that went D1 after a 9-11 order date.
I know she has zero control over what gets done at the factory, but maybe she has more insight as to the why, either way I do my best to leave her alone. For the most part the sales staff isn’t the person to take our frustrations out on.

agreed. And the longer it takes them to build…the more they’re moving prices higher and higher. Seems like it should all automatically be locked in when you ordered.

From my understanding it sounds like it didnt need to be on the POC, and most of us should qualify unless you didnt agree on a price, or you wait a long time to pick your truck up. But im stupid so im probably wrong.

I would ask my Sales manager but there is no point because the answer doesnt change whether or not i buy the truck.

4.10 on a SO diesel? That’s an option? My dealer looked into it and said he couldn’t order that combo.

I contacted Mark Dodge. Got some other salesmen. I mentioned the great deals people here have gotten, he brought up incentives and that there aren't any for the Power Wagon yet but he did inform that if I put a non-refundable deposit down on a truck now, I could qualify for incentives if RAM comes out with any while my truck is being built. If I was going to pay MSRP I wouldn't buy a truck from a dealer 1000 miles away from me.

Is there a way to contact Sandi directly? Or is their a secret phrase you have to say to get a deal?

Contact my dealer. Gupton Ram, in Springfield, TN. My salesman was Kemmy. They are Located just off i65 near TN/KY line. I almost ordered from MArk Dodge. Sandi was great but that drive is a killer tho.
My dealer only has two new 2022 ram 2500 custom orders in the que. they were close to Sandi’s numbers factoring gas and time. Plus my dealer gave me 50k trade in and Mark dodge only offered 44k.
