HEMI® Power To Keep Going In Ram Heavy Duty Trucks

I hope the sales for the 2025 6.4L open soon! My baby is going to be a write off through no fault of my own and it’s killing me that I can’t get a replacement. The gassers left on the lot new are way over optioned and 120k + or are used and beaten to hell. I just need a normal truck and not something insane
 
We were in the same situation in October 2024 needing a normal 4x4 truck very fast to tow after our 2016 Ram Tradesman 2500 6.4L transmission failed and it needed a new replacement which were on backorder. We have three Ram dealerships near our home.

70 miles to the north the Ram dealership is located within a high priced tourist resort economy, 70 miles south the Ram dealership is in an agriculture and outdoor products manufacturing economy, and 40 miles to the west it's a healthcare and urban professionals economy. I knew enough to head south for a no frills Ram 3500 4x4 Tradesman Crew Cab work truck with steel wheels and with the HO Cummins, a 50 gallon tank, and in blue as the only other options. Doubt that they would have such barebone trucks sitting out on the other two Ram dealership lots. Fully loaded is what they sell .

I feel you but in the opposite situation here. I want to get one loaded to the gills (Air suspension, Ram boxes, Sunroof, EVERYTHING), but everything I see is under-optioned. Waiting patiently for the 25's.
 
One policy of mine, I started with the last round of vehicle purchases is I only order. If you are going to spend so much money, why not get what you want. I hate white, black, silver, boring colors for instance. And the lots are full of those. Dual alternators on my PW, damn straight but no dealer vehicles ever have them. Going no sun roof next time, I just do not use it enough. I do want to try Ram Boxes. And I DID order them in 2017....I go to pick up the truck, it rolls out and I am like....where are the Ram Boxes? After knocking the price down 10K or so for the mistake I was on my way ;)

You read my mind brother! I too dislike the boring colors. I want blue, green, yellow, something "different or exciting". You're right, that it's very hard to find something on the lot, that is exactly how we like it
