Price negotiated from MSRP

Agree with Ostracize. I was considering a 2500 to haul a car hauler and travel trailer for now with dreams of a 5th wheel 10+ years down the road. Reading up on 5th wheelers and the kingpin weights, I've stepped up to a 3500 MC 6.7 SO. Still only SRW so that will limit my 5th wheel choices but not nearly as restrictive as a 2500 MC 6.7 SO would.

Looking at your 2500 config above, I est. your payload to be 1850-1950lbs according to the Ram towing/payload capacity lookup tool. The 2500s are heavy and only a 10k GVWR so the payload is 10k minus the truck's weight. The 6.7 and MC eat up a lot of that payload capacity. There is a thread that discusses/shows door payload stickers with configs. This one is close to your config from what I can tell.

This is most certainly a concern, but I am educated on the subject. Excellent advice as the difference between the 2500 and 3500 is huge.
 
In the fine print on the 1500$ coupon, It says can be combined with other offers..with ep price for an ep gets all incentives also..you should also get the 2000$ finance incentive if its still available.
 
On the ram web site there advertising ep pricing plus 1000 great lakes bonus cash..plus the 1500 coupon..

I’ve been looking at a new 2020 which has the employee pricing. Dealer told me Im not able to use the other rebates with that. I don’t think thats correct but could someone give me some input? Thanks

The fine print on ramtrucks.com seems to indicate that's correct. Make sense considering EP is already cheaper than what most dealers are willing to negotiate down to normally. Try another dealer though and let them know where you stand in negotiating and ask if they can do better with an in-house discount.
 
It can very by region..here they have it advertised as employee pricing plus.. the plus is 1000$ great lakes discount.. id find another dealer..
 
Like a lot of folks here I have been following this thread pretty religiously. I finally pulled the trigger today on a Tradesmen 2500. I'm not sure what changed, but in the last 7 days dealers have gotten a lot more aggressive with what their calling "coupons, or dealer money." The best I could do in the Midwest in the last month was about 16% off of MSRP. In the last three days though I had offers of 19% and a touch over 20% I ended up buying the one that was 19% off. These amounts are dealer discount and rebates combined. On my paperwork, it shows rebates in the amount of $3500. However the only rebates that I qualified for is the Ram $1500 email coupon and $750 diesel one. Anyways, just wanted to encourage folks to keep working deals, dealers are starting to get antsy.

Retail: $56340
Before TTL: $45576
 
I was told from the dealer to get 10-12% off msrp on a 2021 Ram 2500 to wait for "Truck Days" in late Feb-March.

I got 11% off when I ordered in Jan 2020 when there were zero rebates.

Invoice less full holdback, less $500 is the very least you should get. It's been said a million times.

Well, I've been on the phone with a few dealers all the way out to Idaho. I see a Bighorn I'm intrested in and deduct 10% off msrp, tell them I'll travel with a check in hand, and can not get any of them to take my offer. Been at this a few months now, and have yet to make a deal. I've got a perfectly good 2016 Bighorn sitting in the barn with 45,000 miles, two people chomping at he bit to buy for high KBB. Until I can get at least 10% off msrp, I'll just continue to play along.

Try Carson City Dodge - ask for Justin. I just bought a 3500 MC Limited 6.7 HO from him and it was super easy. I live 300 miles away from them, but thay had a truck with what I wanted. Did everything by email/text, and showed up a few days later with a check. I was in the office less than 20 minutes doing the paperwork and I was on the road. No pressure sales and I got almost 12% off MSRP.

Great price, congrats!
 
Have a 2021 on order but according to my dealer today they are waiting to ship out 8500 units and can ship a max of 1100 per day if they have enough rail cars, so i still have to clue when mine could arrive and its going on 13 weeks. So that being said i found a 2020 Limited MSRP 82,980 and settled on a price of right at 69,000. I will get to use my 1500 bonus cash but wont let me use the other 1000 bonus nor the trucar 500. So at 67,500 I think I still did pretty good! Got a nicer truck for close to what i was going to pay for my Laramie truck.
 
I got a pretty decked out Tradesman msrp at 59.8K, Ended up at 50,400 OTD. Not too shabby of a deal.
My parents wen't to the same dealer and picked up a dually laramie longhorn, 83k MSRP $71,504 OTD. Not too shabby on theirs either. We got them the same week. No additional discounts for getting two haha.
 
My 2020 Power Wagon had a MSRP of just under 78,000CAD and after paying for everything including interest on the loan I'm paying 78,000CAD.
