Did you see this Ford Truck staging? 2100 trucks waiting for semi-conductors.

It is definitely a sight to see. Stopped off the Sparta exit on I71 to refill and had to drive by. Wife took a video and it is a sea of Fords. Across the street at the speedway main lot is packed with 53' trailers as well.

I called the dealer yesterday and mine was in Fife, WA... about 15 miles from Auburn. Problem is it has to go to Kent WA where a truck will pick it up from the rail yard and bring it back down to Auburn to Bud Clary. Then PDI... He told me Im still 2-6 days out. We ordered on the same day.

Just as info, the guy i talked to couldn't find mine either originally. He called me back in a few minutes.. said he found it and gave me the info above.

Thanks for the heads up - just called and my truck arrived to the dealer last night. Will call when Philip returns to coordinate picking up next Friday!

LMAO! Another Ford without brains.

Does anyone know if you can get the air suspension with the Hemi engine? The Ram builder doesn't allow it. Just wanted to verify. Thanks.

I have my limited mega cab with the Hemi and air suspension. Mind you I’ve been waiting like 17 weeks and counting for it lol

Just make sure you don’t have Offroad package selected.

Had a talk with a salesmen at Bud Clary today. According to him, Bud Clary will no longer be doing internet forum pricing. Those are his words not mine. I have been trying to get an order done with Phillip since early May and it has been a head ache as he has been having one of his sales guy work with me since he is over run with orders. This probably explains why it hasn't been a smooth process.

This isn't a dig on Phillip as most that have worked with him on here have had a great experience. However it sounds like the dealership is pulling back for now on their aggressive pricing. If somebody talks to Phillip directly and can either correct this or confirm, it would be appreciated.

Well, just got a text from one of Phillip's guys, the truck is now at the Kent yard. Said it would be trucked over to the dealer within the next couple days. Excited!

I ordered the HEMI with rear air suspension.

I talked to my sales man and parts guy yesterday when visiting the dealership local to me.
Salesman said my order was good. But they are marking things up over MSRP now.
Parts guy said he talked to the owner the other day. Owner said used cars/trucks were ok, but they had to get permission from him directly to cut any deals at MSRP or under. And they have been in business over 40 years.
Parts guy said they are low on new inventory, down from a typical 500 to just 100. No new vehicles combing in, so no one is trading in used stuff. So they have minimal inventory. That's why online places are giving such high offers on people selling cars like us on here.

It's the old supply and demand. High demand with low supply drives the prices up. He was a bit surprised about the Ford issue. Guess Ram is doing a better job at allocating their chips for builds.

I have no inside info, but this is likely more to do with the fact that he cannot order any 2021s any longer and pricing for 2022's has not been released.

I wouldn't offer discounts on product with which i dont know my cost on either.

Well, that sucks.

There is a dealer in Idaho that is supposed to be pretty aggressive with their pricing, as well as a guy in Louisiana. Not sure how set you were with Washington, but if you're willing to travel elsewhere, those two people may be worth looking at.

You can find contact info here: https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/how-to-get-the-best-price-on-your-new-ram.26103/

I know Aaron in Louisiana is on the front page. The person in Idaho, you may have to read through a few of the more recent postings in the thread, as they were definitely mentioned somewhat recently. It's a woman if I remember correctly.

That's a pretty active community on that site as well. Couldn't hurt to post there and see if anyone else is getting similar action as you are. I know SilentBob is the OG pointman with Phillip and the forums, so maybe he has some insight as well.

You also may just be in limbo right now, as no one knows pricing for 22 MY, so it's kind of hard to give someone a price ya know?

Seems giving a % off invoice should be the same regardless of where invoice lands. They’re giving the same discount from base Tradesman to top of the line Limiteds.

I can somewhat vouch for Bud Clary. Sent them an email the week before Phillip went on vacation. Called them the following Monday to see if I could put an order in. Nothing. Sent a follow up email a week later, Phillip responded that he was out and would follow up when he returns. Nothing since. Aaron’s team at Mark Dodge responded quickly. Also have an email chain with Stone’s Country in Idaho. They’re just waiting for final options on the 2022s.

I was there Tuesday picking up my truck. He's definitely back. His phone seemingly rings nonstop.

I'm surprised they'd stop the sales. Heard last month was their best month very long time. Something north of 200 vehicles.

 

[Bozo]

Supplier pricing is way up due to so much money being thrown at the economy, inflation taking off. Wouldnt be surprised if this years 65k truck isn’t 70k for 2022. The crazies are in charge of the asylum.
