Can't say how long it will be there, but this looks like a bit of a unicorn. For a Tradesman, it's a crew cab Billet Silver 6.4 Hemi and it has the 7 inch TFT, spray in bedliner, 8.4 with Nav radio, Snow Chief package AND the two big alternators AND...look at the pics, it has the manual 4WD shifting system. If you intended to do some snow plowing, this would be a great deal. Heck you want to tow what I do, it's a great deal coming in at 20K less than I paid for my Laramie well over a year ago.
 
It’s got the auto dual zone HVAC system that my 2020 Bighorn is missing and I wish I had.

I would not want to give up my tow mirrors though.
 
To be honest, I didn't even realize you could get that manual 4WD instead of the electronic or at least in a 22. Anyone know anything about that? And I must agree that the 23 tow mirrors are a substantial improvement over the previous gen mirrors.
 
crew cab
6.4 Hemi
7 inch TFT
spray in bedliner
8.4 with Nav radio
Snow Chief package
two big alternators
manual 4WD shifting system
dual zone climate

Delete
chrome
carpet

Add
Bed utility group
5th wheel prep
50 gallon tank
Long bed
rear parksense
4.10 gears
110v
And its a match for my build.

Highly doubt it's (a) available (b) the real price. Can't load the window sticker, don't disclose which discounts and rebates they have added all together to get that price ( insert asterisk not all buyers will qualify) Add $799 dealer conveyance fee. I searched from 2020 until I ended up ordering a 23 at 12% under MSRP, too many not-real deals from dealers, they count on an uninformed buyer and a buyer falling in love with a vehicle and they use a price like that to set the hook. I came out at $56,000.
If anyone cared to be spammed for life request "todays price" from their website....not available or best guess real price $54,000

I wouldn't want to trade the new mirrors or the new headlights from 22 to 23

I like your build AND your real price...well except for the long bed and carpet. I think the Snow Chief package is one of the best most valuable orderable packages with the most stuff at a good price. You get a lot for a little. The Blackout package is the biggest rip off for buyers, but it does look good I must admit and is why they do it. The 4WD is a decent package for value also IF that's what you want.

And having shopped long distance, you do have to watch the dealers. But a quick call and the right questions can usually weed those out. Also, many of the Carguru "deals" are not really there if you go look up the actual dealership online and look at their inventory... I'd really love that 50 gallon tank though. I've already had a couple of occasions where I wish I'd had another 100 plus miles. I also love how the get gas light pops up at almost half a tank after a big mountain run at very low MPG. Amazing to have at least a third of a tank and the yellow get gas light come on...and nags...with a 31 gallon tank...at a 6 or 7 mpg average...

I'm still trying to find someone who has seen that manual 4WD set up on the floor that is obviously OEM. I can't find any info on it and never saw it orderable but then again, I wasn't looking at Tradesman's.

Lol, yep that's crazy, fuel light at half tank. The manual shifter has been available forever but it ends up forced out by other selections so you really have to fight to stay at Tradesman Level 1 to keep it.

My 22 Tradesman has the manual 4wd shifter in the floor. Bought new in October of 21 off the dealers lot. I have the 8ft bed, and 50 gallon tank on mine. I don't have dual alternators or the dual zone climate control. Here is my sticker.
