I've seen those threads on the Super Duty forums and I'm hoping that these issues are due to sub-par components that OEMs took the risk on during the pandemic years. I don't think these are affecting just Ford. As far as aesthetics, I think they are all similar in that none of them look so...

I'll tell you what, I'm kinda shocked at the MSRP. It's higher than a 2023 Super Duty Platinum with the 7.3 gas.

So one thing that is odd about that configurator which makes me think this is an error... the interior pictures and options reflect a smaller screen which I didn't think would be the case for a Limited trim.

It seems like the 2023 Ram 3500 Build and Price configurator allows you to configure a 3500 Limited with a 6.4 Hemi gas engine now. Did Ram reverse their decision on diesel only for higher trims?

Maybe for non HD pickups. But I don't think the emissions and fuel economy requirements for passenger vehicles applies to HD pickups.

Before, Stellantis's prices were really competitive and undercut GM and Ford. It's no longer the case - and that's why full size SUVs like the Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer are not selling. In fact, I think Jeep had to lower the MSRP for the Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer for 2023.

Hopefully they bring it back in 2024. Otherwise it's going to either be a Ford or GM for me.

It's a shame. I guess Ram won't be an option for me. It'll either be a re-designed GM HD 3500 or a Ford Super Duty then.

Hah! That was the configuration that I was interested in - 2023 Ram 3500 Crew Cab Short Bed Limited 6.4L Hemi.

How exactly does Ram/Jeep's ordering system work at the dealer and national level? Is it similar to Ford's where your order gets immediately entered into a national queue? Or is it like GM's where you have to find a dealer with available allocation before your order even gets to enter the...

How does Ram/Jeep's ordering process work? Is it more similar to Ford's where your dealer submits it directly into a national queue? Or is it more similar to GM's order system where your dealer has to have an allocation first before it gets submitted into a national queue?

Is the factory LSD a gear based (as opposed to clutch based) design?
