Curious to hear thoughts on attempting renegotiation of order price after delivery prior to finalization due to increase in fuel prices? $500 deposit.

I cut and pasted a half dozen posts from here with ranges on deals from 12-15% off MSRP and dropped them in an email and said that I didn't need the best deal but wanted to be in the ballpark and told my local dealer I would try him first but was willing to travel to get the pricing I wanted...

Ask for TJ.

I am putting a deposit down on an ordered 3500 Laramie HO SRW LB today. 10% off MSRP. Hoblit in Woodland CA.

I think the question is did Ram have no faith in the symmetrical update or was it always intended as a stop gap to 21?

I should add, I'm currently at 16% discount to MSRP without trying for more due to CP4. That may change calculus?

So if I'm looking at a heavily discounted 20, do I look at build date to see if it has the updated CP4 and how much better is that vs. the prior? Sounds like then it's about keeping gas tank above 1/8, new fuel filters every oil change, fill up documentation and hope for recall/tsb?

That was my other thought on LB vs. SB or MC...COG. The COG is closer to rear axle on SB and MC vs. LB putting more weight on rear axle.

My next question is how do you breakdown drw vs. srw for off-road? Clearly won't be doing anything too technical with LB so mostly fire roads, etc. But part of concern is also snow driving unloaded in winter. It will also be my daily commuter.

Thanks for this! I totally understand your thought process. My new basecase as of this past weekend is a long bed vs. short to give my 4k - 4.25k payload depending on trim. This would also allow a 9'6" NL which has same weight as 8'11" more or less. They tend to be conservative adding 1k over...

I've heard that if going with a TC it's best not to get any bed liner. This may not be accurate though so look forward to comments. Also would like to hear more personal experience vis-a-vis gas vs. diesel. Know payload is major plus but also trade-off between gas mileage, mountain driving...

What size rims and tires do you run? They look like stock 18" rims but with higher sidewall tires?

Couple of more questions for you guys. What is purpose of dual alternators and do they impact truck camper in anyway? Looking at NL 8-11 there is an installed generator option but rep said it's not needed much...just for microwave and AC. Would I be able to power those individually by just...

Just thought I'd let the board know...called NL today vs. dealer for some questions. On PL capacity he said what really needs to be looked at is axle and tire ratings which give more than published capacity, which I have read. He said he's never heard insurance liability ever being a real...
