My order's total price on the Ram build and price website somehow just increased from $68,040 to $69,655 within the last couple of days. Its a 3500 Tradesman with towing and safety packages plus a few small adds. Nothing changed with my build except for the price. Anyone else notice this?

I placed the order with a local dealership on January 27 and got invoice plus $500. I'm wondering if the dealer invoice for this order will stay or will increase, being that the order should have been placed a few weeks ago when the price was lower.

The online build and price has been wrong for awhile, I ordered my truck on 1/23 and it was about 2k higher than what it showed online, my dealer has price protection for my order if the msrp goes any higher before I take delivery
 
Would need to check on price protection with your ordering dealer.

As far as the online builder, I ordered 12/1, apparently at least two significant price increases occurred in between ordering/truck built. Increases in Dec and Jan...amounted to almost $3k increase for a bighorn order

A week or so ago I went online and built my ordered truck and the builder was in line with the revised window sticker produced on 1/28 - so it was updated. I checked it yesterday and the base MSRP was still the same (matches my final build from a couple weeks ago), yet the pricing for several of the options actually went DOWN from what my window sticker has- all total about $400 decrease. So not sure what is going on with that...
 
Sounds like I need to ask my dealer. We never discussed this possibility and I never expected that the factory would change pricing within the same model year.
 
While looking for a truck last spring, here are all the different base MSRPs I came across on the same trim level truck - Tradesman 2500 crew cab, short box, 4x4...the difference now is that the changes over the past few months have been more significant bumps up...these had different options but i started to look into it more after i found a couple similarly equipped trucks with almost a $1k price difference

and for reference - a 2022 tradesman 2500, cc, 4x4 short box now has a base price of $45,710 on Ram's online builder...another reason used truck values have stayed high - $5k more just on the base price than a 2021 could've been built
