It gets worse as many of the options prices have increased. Even worse when you find out that some options have been removed from lower trims. My 22 BH had a 61k sticker when ordered in Jan 22. Today I would have to order a larimie to get some of the options and the sticker would be around 71k and no digital mirror.
And no fender flares which, to me, just looks weird.
still cant fathom why they got rid of them, looks terrible now imo, and less protection from peppering your fenders
Oh yes, my 22 Laramie built in Dec 2021 was 62,600 MSRP. I got the sport package, 4WD package, Snow Chief package and bucket seats while now, the same or roughly equivalent unit is well into the 70's and the base unit is higher than what I paid with some good stuff I wanted on it. I "build" them off and on on the Ram site just to see and have noted how they are stripping the Big Horn and making it so they almost force you to go to a higher trim to get what you want...taking off must haves and nice trim like the fender flares...AND, they won't even let you order them with lower trims...
I have no idea whom you are talking about. It's helpful to use the quote or reply buttons in a post so the context is automatically pasted in, like I did with your post.
If RAM called us back and said they had to remove options, sometimes there could be a credit applied (right now on some Jeep GCs there is a credit for dropping the differential that should've been standard).
My recent order was a few hundred lower them what was quoted on the original order sheet….and nothing was removed or changed.
Hey take the win! Were you able to tell where the difference was (like in a package item vs the base MSRP?)
I would have to check but it most likely was a package difference.
As mentioned, rebates and other dealer incentives could lower the price when the truck arrives. But it should never be higher, at least from a reputable dealer. The dealer price is locked once the order is placed, even if the sticker price takes an increase while it's being built. I'd make sure to get that part in writing.
No joke.... I thought I got an OK deal in March 2022 with it built in Dec. 2021... I got a Laramie with the 4X4 offroad, Sport and snow chief packages at like 63,600 MSRP and I got one K off for trading in my 2021 1500 BTS AND that dealer 500 miles away beat my local dealer by almost 3K on the trade in separately... I kept building my truck on the Ram site and a year later it was right at 10K more MSRP than mine from a year earlier... OK, the new mirrors are nice, but not that nice... Now a year later and a bit particularly with the 3.24% interest rate I got, I got a great deal...but...I notice they are starting to come off MSRP pretty aggressively this month... When they take 4K off of MSRP incentives and here in a month or two I'm guessing lower the interest rates pretty substantially to get them moving we will see. They could potentially get back into my range... I'm noticing if you do a nationwide search on Cargurus, there are some 10K off MSRP deals here and there particularly on tricked out Big Horns on the lots... If you are willing to travel and they don't sucker you, there are some deals to be had you couldn't touch a year ago... It also appears that they are almost giving away some 1500's... OK, a bit of an exageration, but...
Were they marking them up like they eventually did with most everything at that point? They even tried to mark up pre-ordered ones from what I hear.
Yeah, I just did an online build of a 2023 2500 Longhorn Diesel with identical options to the 2022 I had ordered a year and a half ago, and the MSRP has gone from $73K to $86K, a $13,000 difference! Shocking. It's the same truck as the 2022. I paid $67K and the MSRP at the time I ordered was $73K, increasing to $75K by the time I took delivery 4 months later in November 2021. Inflation is worse than I thought!
