I think you will be quite happy with it. I like the look of the gray Tradesman. Seeing as I'll be putting 35k-50k on it a year I felt the "need" to go with a few more creature comforts.

No, this was truly a case of whose night it was to work. Trust me, I used to manage a dealership myself. I understand all the "tricks" played by salespeople and managers alike. Sometimes it is a series of unconnected dominoes that fall.

Yes it is

Finally picked this up on Wednesday night after it'd be in for a week and a half. It was worth it for the extra $1000 in rebates though.

I picked up the truck last night. It actually went pretty well. They were certainly a little unorganized, but they got it together pretty quickly for a dealership. As I had thought they did warranty register the truck on 9/30. The sales manager was upfront about it and apologetic that the...

This...if I ever make it to the finish line

That is incorrect. The warranty begins on the date it is warranty registered. The manufacturer counts the date of sale typically as the date of warranty registration.

They didn't go live with the 2019 Build & Price tool until they were well into 2019. The order window on '19s hasn't even closed yet. I doubt we will see it until late in the year.

I ordered the truck from them. It was marked as a sold at time of order with my name on it. For whatever reason they didn't ask me for money down at the time of the order (or any proof of my ability to pay for it for that matter). The truck has been there since 9/21 with notification (to me)...

Last night and this morning I have been inundated with numerous emails and text messages regarding the purchase and new ownership of my truck. That is great and all, but I haven't signed for or picked up my truck yet. I was pushing to October for a couple of reasons, one being the possibility of...

I am picking up my ordered truck in the next couple days (whatever day wife wants to sign paperwork). I am not terribly thrilled with the stock Laramie wheels with the Sport Appearance package. This also happens to be my first HD truck. Can anybody enlighten me on wheels and tires? I'd like the...

Just received a call from my salesman. The truck arrived at the dealership this morning. Ordered 8/6 Delivered to dealer 9/23 6 weeks and 6 days total time

Contacted my dealer for the first time this morning regarding expected vehicle arrival date. My salesman says it will be the first or second week of October. That will put me right around the 8 week mark having ordered on August 6th. It might not be as quick as some, but I was hoping to push...

I'd like to think they would shoot up, but I don't have much confidence in seeing them increase much beyond the $1000 we are currently seeing.

These things always baffle me. How was something this catastrophic unable to be avoided? Train derailments are far too common here in the States.
