the further we get away from covid the more we forget how the pricing was during those times. Manufacturers weren't offering rebates and Mark Dodge was still discounting their HDs at 11% off sticker (Ram had an advantage as they were building trucks with some constraints, but the other brands...
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...

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

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...
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...
when you start shopping, mark dodge is either a great place to buy or at a minimum good for comparing against your local dealers

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...
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...
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 -...
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...
Quite a few 2025s still on the lots...looking at a 3500/dually. Outside of the warranty difference, any other noticeable differences between a 2025 and a 2026? Saw several random issues on the 2025s in the spring/early summer - how are the 2025s holding up since?
Here's a 2025 with the level 1 plus and night edition. $66k and change with $11k off. They have some 2025 bighorns that are being discount $14k.

really just depends on what your taxes are...are you trading in...
guess it didn't already have the hood latch sensor already on it?
we had a '21 that didn't come with the sensor while the majority of the other tradesmans built for that MY did. would have thought the sensor was pretty much standard these days.
and yes - Ram is behind the times on the "free...
Take a look at these two threads to get an idea on what you can buy/order one for these days.
Essentially there are dealers willing to discount HDs around 11% off MSRP ( so ~$10.5k in discount alone where the dealer that has the truck is advertising $5300 off...so they are essentially pricing...
