*Breaking News* 2025 Orders from MARK DODGE **

Anyone know if you can get the military AND first responder incentives? I am medically retired from the military and current first responder.

From what I recall reading the fine print with military you are eligible up to 1 year after the end of your service or be a 100% disabled vet. Your best bet is to try and generate the code on your own. The dealer will need this code to honor the $500 off.


You'll do the same for first responder.

Military and First Responder are not compatible, they are each worth $500 but you can only use one of each.
When in the incentives software, clicking one blocks out the other. Doesn't matter which, so I'd do whichever is easier to generate the code from.

Military is good for the following, currently, any of these for qualifiers
- Active military
- Honorably discharged within the last 1 months
- Retired after 20 years of service
- Discharged 100% disabled
The dealership never receives the internal notations of WHICH qualifier you are, you just provide your code

First responder is good for police, fire, and EMT

In both of these, it is STELLANTIS that sets the rules and qualifies, not the individual dealerships. Leaves us out of it!
 
NO memos from Ram
No price changes on code guide (other than the $100 change in March)
We're still rolling full steam ahead business as usual
So I apologize for asking for a bit more help, but I am thinking your the only person who might have some knowledge and experience with dealing with ordering and manufacturing so I don't know who to ask...

In Canada so I cant easily track things.

I ordered a 2025 ram 2500 Rebel, two tone white, bench seat, 6.4L gas, 400A dual alternator, aux switches, rock rails, all weather mats ... so not a fancy truck but not a basic truck.

I ordered it Feb 1, 2025 (12:26 pm according to the order sheet)

It was in D status until just now with a VIN number assigned, today my dealer called and said it is in C status, which he believes is a step up and means they are pushing it along. My googling says that it is a step backwards and probably cause of the Mexico Plant Shutdown

So I am hoping that perhaps you can confirm for me, is this progress? Is this now I am in the whole unknown what the hell his happening territory?

Just any blunt reply would be better than this having no real idea of what the heck is up.

Thank you for any help you can offer!!

You said blunt, ask and you shall receive
1. C comes before D, that is regress not progress, but still not cause for panic
2. HD Ram plant in Mexico has not shut down.
3. Fret not, you're still only 2 months in.
 
FOUR colors open for 2025 HDs :)

BLACK
WHITE
GRANITE
FORGED BLUE METALLIC
Dang I like that forged blue colour but ordered granite three weeks ago as dealer said the blue might not be available for a while. Fortunately I do like the granite almost as much but I definitely would have ordered the blue.

Honestly we were told MOLTEN would be next, and that was supposed to be by 3/10. Molten still absent, but here we got blue.

Doing the job for my local dealer, sent him this update lol. I have been waiting for the Blue.
 
So no Red for the 2025 model year! That is really unusual. Makes you wonder what is really afoot for 2026 since they are taking 2025 off? Maybe there is some deeper reasons. Guess I have to keep the old ticker running longer. Hopefully the wait for 2026 will be rewarding.
 
Choices Choices. Would you order an identical 2025 2500 77k MSRP for 68k from Mark, or a leftover new 2024 for 56k from the local dealer?

The 2500 changes are significant, but it's a lot of coin! I assume when I trade it in in 3-4 years the 2025 will be worth more, but not that much more.

That's a wide swath of info there.... help me understand what you're comparing?
In short... we do sell our instock 2024s quite a bit below MSRP as well.
