*Breaking News* 2025 Orders from MARK DODGE **

Omaha Orange is Bad Ass. But always a ridiculous wait due to waiting to produce them until enough sell. Just want regular ole red 2 tone.... :confused:
 
I realized the 2025s Limited (Crew Cab) don’t show the deployable bed step as an option. Is this bundled in Limited 1? Standard feature for limited?

PRODUCTION HAS BEGUN! great news I really didn't think we were going to see things start this quickly, but they have! NOW.... READ MY LIPS.... ignore that estimated ship date. Since this is a new powertrain we expect that when the vehicles finish production, and inspection they may (will) then sit in what we affectionately call "purgatory" waiting to ship out. We don't know how long that will be, how many vehicles they will produce before they ship, etc etc. the dates you see on trackers showing estimated delivery, or estimated ship, will be 100% innacurate until we really get rolling. Ignore the date.

You can see that we've got tradesman, bighorn, and laramie in production. I do not see any of our limited or longhorn orders having begun yet.

Anthony, wondering if you've seen any movement in your orders. Ship dates? And if you think they'll actually ship on the date listed.

Plenty getting into D1, production, etc.
No I don't believe the ship dates.
The software that generates those is not something that anyone with a puts new content/data into, that I can tell. Therefore, if there is any containment plans (hold before shipping, new item review) that is most likely not taken into account.

Hear Ye Hear Ye! ((((EDITED 1/8/25))))

Late this afternoon we got the order guides for the 2025 HD Ram lineup!

CODE GUIDES Are what drives the content, price protection, etc. However, not everything in the code guide on day one will actually be able to order on day one. Some times things are delayed, and some times the code guide has items that never happen through an entire model year. For example 2024 code guide had some entire configs that never opened (Bed/Cab/Engine combos) or in the 1500s there were some colors that took 9 months to open. Will try to update these as they get refreshed (you can see the date on the document)

WEBSITE https://www.ramtrucks.com/vehicle-selector.bmo.html Is up and running BUT it is not entirely accurate. For example, no you still cannot get air suspension on an SRW 3500, and there are still items that are unavailable to order (powerwagons, gas bighorns/laramies, etc). I would use the website mostly for understanding what is in the equipment packages, and building out the rough idea of your truck. Pricing is actually accurate so far that I’ve seen! (Make sure you click 2025) If there is a conflict between code guide and website......code guide wins.

ORDERING SOFTWARE (VOIM) This is where we can actually generate your build sheet (preview or confirmation, once ordered). This is how we find out if an item is available to order or not, at that particular moment. Something closed in VOIM usually overrides it being open in the code guide, unless there's an error or unintended conflict.

DETAILS BUNCH of new info and marketing material loaded up here: https://sharesync.serverdata.net/us4/s/3OKXv3Xd2XRcf3CfVLiCtE003f24cd

TIMING It's going to be a long haul. Production has started as of January 7th but so far I have only seen Bighorn get built. they'll do a rolling start, they say.... It also can be open trim levels but limited which level packages. Or colors. All of these parameters were in play on the 2025 MY for 1500s. Not long ago, our average HD order was taking 5-7 months due to chip/supply issues. Most of this calendar year they were taking more like 2-4 months. If you're ordering before a like-vehicle has been produced, it's an open field of possibility :)

REBATES $1K rebate across the board, plus they have enabled the military and first responder

DISCOUNT All 2025 HD Factory Orders through Mark Dodge will be discounted 11% off MSRP - that is straight dealer discount, before any rebates or other qualifiers. Our discount does not conflict with anything else offered by RAM!
All orders subject to $425 Doc Fee, $4 Temp Tags. $1K deposit required to place order (due once you receive all signed paperwork). Affiliate pricing will be 1% below our Mark Dodge Price (see example below)

Example
MSRP $80,000
Dealer Discount -$8,800
Current Rebate -$1,000
Doc Fee $425
Temp Tags $4
Total before your state's TTL $70,629

Affiliate, if valid, would be another -$712 this example

OK enough of that banter - here's the link to the code guides - https://sharesync.serverdata.net/us4/s/3KuGcu8kz7upwD4OihvRVW003f24cd

If you're interested in ordering a 2025 HD Ram, we'd love to help. At the moment, what you can do is email us directly at [email protected] and list out what you're looking for. You don't have to write out every code, price, and name - but please be a bit more specific than "fully loaded" We'll run it through the ordering software, get you a price, and work through the answers on any questions together.

Thank you thank you for all of your interest and support and great community here! And thank you for making us #1 for RAM VOLUME for 2024 those of you who purchased last year or told a friend!!

Got an acknowledgement email from you after I submitted my request but yet to hear back
 
Morning all, I have a 3500 Mega Cab with rear air self level and a freind of mine has a 3500 with out
I can not feel any difference in ride quality and I mean any.
Why do some members say the truck with rear air is a much better ride than with out. What would the reason be to make it ride nicer?
One member on here said they replaced one leaf with a softer leaf.
Seeing that any form of load support as in air bags will NOT increase your trucks GVWR. Air bags simply provide you with added support while towing.
So wouldn't a soft spring take away your GVWR on your truck?

The ride is much better on the auto level than without, so if your auto-level truck rides the same as a standard spring truck then something isn’t working right. What do you run your tire pressure at?

GVWR isn’t what matters for the auto-level, RAWR is.

Ram doesn’t have to care about increasing capacity, they set the capacity.

The auto-level trucks ride better empty, fully loaded, and in between. Due to the design of the suspension they are more stable as well. Just because the main leaves are softer doesn’t mean it handles softer, it’s an entire suspension package and there is a reason it’s part of the max tow package.

I've seen here that some people can't tell the diffrence as my self.
It must be very suttle if any.

No, it’s far more than subtle.

Often people run too much tire pressure and that masks the ride improvements.

There have also been trucks with improperly adjusted ride height so there is too much air in the bags empty and that stiffens the ride up.

When the truck is setup properly it’s a very noticeable difference. The 3500 auto-level rides noticeably better than the standard spring 2500.
 
Question, does Ford or GM have thie rear air system or close to in their HD trucks?
