    2026 RAM HD Builds and Orders - Post and discuss your TRUCK order here!

    the only additional discount of any significance will be if/when more than a $1k rebate is available.

    2026 RAM HD Builds and Orders - Post and discuss your TRUCK order here!

    it's like GM supplier or Ford X plan. back in the day, and even these days to an extent, you could go in to a GM dealership and say...I have a supplier discount and the dealer "would" sell you the vehicle at a predetermined price, which supplier/affiliate price is 1% under invoice. Sounds like...

    2026 RAM HD Builds and Orders - Post and discuss your TRUCK order here!

    I wouldnt say that dealers like Mark Dodge will give a higher discount on a custom order vs a truck ordered for inventory (discount meaning actual discount off the truck and excluding any rebates). These high volume dealers like Mark Dodge, Koons, Granger, etc usually price both their orders...

    Discounts off msrp may vary from your local dealers that still use invoice pricing as a bargaining tool when the lots get full...but the majority of buyers on here are getting the "max dealer discount" at any time during the model year. 11% off MSRP is the baseline a buyer should be working...

    I've seen these on Ram's website...so is that a part of the fine print? Glanced at one the other day and it expired 3/31 but didn't read any further. Granted it may not be in the fine print but that's interesting that they exclude the use of it if you've already ordered a truck

    7.0 Cluster availability on a 2026 3500 Bighorn?

    Link to the HD guides in the first post of the thread linked below https://hdrams.com/forum/threads/mark-dodge-2026-orders-11-off-1k-rebate-from-ram-as-well.19810/

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Haven't seen a "local" dealer really be able to compete with Mark Dodge on the HDs. A local dealer might be able to give more on a trade and possibly close the gap some. Requested a quote on a build from several dealers and nobody was even close to being as responsive as MD was. One dealer...

    Banks Power after sale contact very disappointing

    This. A few years ago I was having issues getting an individual to respond to my emails after we had already "purchased" his services...and not complicated questions. I created another email and asked about his services and received a personal email back in 30 minutes where he answered almost...

    Considering a Ram 2500 Hemi

    when you start shopping, mark dodge is either a great place to buy or at a minimum good for comparing against your local dealers https://www.markdodge.net/searchnew.aspx?Make=RAM&ModelAndTrim=2500&Displacement=6.40

    7.0 Cluster availability on a 2026 3500 Bighorn?

    I noticed several on the lots optioned out like yours as well...guess goes to show how much the online builder is incorrect

    7.0 Cluster availability on a 2026 3500 Bighorn?

    Looked online and it looks like the "builder" only shows the 7.0 cluster available by selecting either the Level 2 Plus equipment group or the Safety package. The level 2 equipment shows it as included, but apparently that is only available with the 6.4. Before I ask a dealer, are there any...

    Muddy~Rusty new truck 2025 2500

    granted I'll probably crawl under my next ram, but like others on here, a quick walkaround is what I'd expect most do. never had the "need" to check to see if the frame was starting to rust at 45 miles bought a 22 from Mark Dodge, met them in Shreveport and noticed an obvious scratch that...

    2025 vs 2026s

    those C&C trailers are like most things, they don't make 'em like they used to. story I heard years ago was that they paid out too much in endorsements early on and never was able to recover...may not be close to what happened but those are on par with the old elite, 4star, platinum trailers -...

    2025 vs 2026s

    just seeing if there is any "reason" to possibly buy a 26 over a 25. have a 2022 dually with the 68RFE in it. knock on wood no issues at 75k and most of that is hooked to a horse trailer. if I could buy a decently equipped bighorn for close to $60k I'd probably trade out of the '22 (with some...
