*Breaking News* 2025 Orders from MARK DODGE **

[td] On Board Power System - 2.4kW[/td]
Now open on HD RAMS! Across all trim levels, comes with dual alternators as well.
So the inverter item is listed for $1295, but you get the dual alts which were $495, net change $800. After our dealer discount $712, to me that's a strong option!
Just don't tell the 1500 forums, they've been waiting a lot longer.

Is this the dual 400 amp alternators, and dual battery setup ? Great option in general for people.

Also - I somehow missed it going through the information sheets that you posted - what option / package is needed to get the ram box on the 2500 or 3500 SRW models ?

Thanks

400A = 6.4L and a single battery
480A = 6.7L and dual batteries

Ram box depends on the trim level, it's standard on Limited and Limited Longhorn. For Rebel, PW, and Laramie it's a stand alone option.

That's about where I'm at at the moment. Wish I could get a Laramie level 1+ with power deployable steps and 3rd brake camera. I don't particularly care for the 14" screen but guess Ill get use to it.

Level 2 gave a bunch of stuff I could care less about. I considered having steps put on but I hate how they are drilled into the back side of the rocker panel sheet metal and not the frame. In michigan thats just asking for rusty rockers.
The 14” screen. I wasn't happy how they reduced the aux switches to 4 from 6 and the trailer brake gain isn’t an actual button anymore. So the 1+ works best for me for these reasons.

To add to the battery comment, there are aftermarket kits for a second battery setup if you wanted one. I plan on going this route when I inevitably add a winch.

Do you have any indication as to whether adding this affects delivery timelines?

No, I would not try to assert any incremental time on any one item. You're starting in abstract and adding abstract. Best to order exactly what you want, at best price you can, and be price protected.
 
I just heard minutes ago on FOX news, FCA will be offering employee pricing on new vehicles. How true is this & what could be the bottom line discounts??
 
Playing around on the interwebs, looks like the 2025 1500 is the only one at the moment that qualifies for employee pricing. 2025 Hds all still have $1k rebate. 2024s have up to $4k
 
I want to give a huge shoutout to @AnthonyRI He is hands-down the best guy I've found to work with. Polite, pain-free, no pressure, and no BS. I hope my long-winded review explains why.

This was my first (and hopefully last) new vehicle I've ever purchased. Always said I'd never buy new, but with all the gadgets that can break nowadays, I'd never own something new without warranty.

Anyway, in the past 7 months, I've dealt with 9 different dealerships between helping my mom buy a new Rav4 and getting myself a Dodge Ram. 7 of those 9 dealerships were absolutely horrible to deal with. I had one dealership 2 hours away set me up an appointment for a test drive on the new 25 Cummins, only to tell me when I got there that they screwed up and didn't actually have the truck yet. Another dealer did the exact same thing to us with a Rav4 - they didn't actually have one. I had dealers lie to me. Had dealers either not know what they were talking about or give me incorrect info. Several dealers told me I could get options together that I actually couldn't (which wasted a lot of my time forcing me to reconfigure things). Almost all of them tried to hold me there against my will and just waste my time. Had a dealer offer me $1000 trade-in for a $12,000 car. And had multiple dealers tell me MSRP is a firm price that no one can ever adjust from because that's the rules set by the manufacturer. Also had others try telling me I might owe them 25% for the tariffs upon delivery.

Anthony gave me the best price from day one - I was never able to beat it. He pointed out Stellantis incentives to me that not a single other dealer even mentioned (which doesn't make any sense to me since those are "free" discounts from Stellantis instead of the dealership). He was the only person to correctly identify every option combination that's currently possible. Anthony never wasted a second of my time. He was quick to accurately answer any questions. And, as he's explained in this thread, he explained the purchase-agreement price is locked in. Mark Dodge is unbelievably accommodating when it comes to receiving your vehicle, whether you're flying in or having it delivered. In hindsight, I could have saved myself dozens of hours trying to deal with other dealerships (other than test drives, of course). If you're out there researching where to buy from to get the best possible deal and customer service, you can't go wrong with Anthony and Mark Dodge.

I believe it's just monkey see, monkey do. Ford did it yesterday. But Ford is only doing it for the F150, not the Super Duties. I would venture to bet that Dodge would only offer it for the USA-made stuff like the 1500's, not the Mexican HD's. I believe the incentives could also be based off of existing lot inventory, which there is obviously none when it comes to '25 Cummins.

They were just updating it while you were looking but the 2500s and 3500s now have Employee Pricing as well, wait. . that is only for 2024, nevermind.

It's an interesting deal, I had to do a TON of math on it this morning LOL.

CUSTOMER has choice of using EP vs the existing rebates
DEALER gets a different structure of margin if using the EP

Therefore in MANY instances, the prior deal of existing price + Mark Dodge discount + regular rebates was still better than EP + Mark Dodge adjusted discount
It's not a flat % that I can post up, little more complicated, have to see case by case. I think it will be helpful for some higiher end HD 2024s, as well as wranglers.
On the 1500s, my prior deal was still better (I won't gum it up here, you can see it on 5thgen)

I have had a similar experience with Mark Dodge. Ashley was my contact. I didn't do near the research and headache as @PyroJoe , but enough to never use my local stealership. Have had some issues on the shipping part of it, but not their fault(Stellantis figure your stuff out). And they are taking care of the maroonic truck drivers brain f@r+ .

Not sure if I have mentioned on here or not, but just a comparison with local
-Had an old vehicle and used KBB to get an instant offer(previous experience was fabulous)
-local wanks made an offer and we had a telephone conversation about making an appointment with someone and I explained that I wasn't trading, just cash offer...no problem, agreed on meeting.
-Better half followed me down there and upon arrival, person that said to ask for them was gone for the day after confirming appointment.
-Then they couldn't offer me anything on old truck(I halfway expected that, but was assured via phone they could)
-Checked out a window sticker on a new ride, and not surprising 6k of dealer added unnecessary options
-So now had wasted fuel in 2 vehicles and time for both of us
-Had purchased a vehicle from them a few years back and was told something was "included" and was charged for it(somewhat my fault for not inspecting each line, but I am an honest person and your word means something)

Long story short, much easier at Mark Dodge. Picked my options, sent an email, and we had it all done within a few hours.
