Finally ready to order. Have been contemplating which options to get for quite some time as well as waiting for some of them to become available again like the night edition and 360 camera. Got pricing today for a 2500, CC, 6.4 bed, 4X4. The base price has increased from $54,745 to $57,520! o_O WTF? I figured a few hundred here and there for certain options but almost $3 grand on the base price? Either just happened or they made a mistake which is pretty hard to do as it's computer generated. Says DJ7P91 for the model which seems correct to me. Not a happy camper right now. :mad:
 
Blind Spot and Crosspath option is also now not available. They bring back the Night edition and 360 camera and remove something else. For the amount they are charging, definitely not going to settle just to get a truck.
 
Yuuup. Happened to me on the 16th of December when the ordering system was down for pricing updates. Cost me $800 waiting for another quote instead of putting my order in on the 13th. The quote i was waiting on was 1% lower, but did not offer price protection.

I expected a thou or so but my build is about $3300 more. I wanted to order before the end of the year but just couldn't decide on the final build.
 
Materials across the globe have skyrocketed. Anything you could want to buy/build has gone up in price. It sucks but honestly I think this isn't even close to the worst of it. I think over the next few years we are going to experience some inflation the likes we haven't seen in decades. I don't wanna be a "sky is falling guy" as I don't think the US economy will implode overnight or anything, but the little guy is gonna be hurting for a while. If you recall anything from 2008, well I think we are worse off now than we were back then.

Where did you get pricing from? The base price of my 2022 2500 CC Laramie 6.4 4X4 (on window sticker) was $54,745. I just went to the Ram build & price website , which right now shows current base at the same $54,745 amount & all of the options I have still at the same price. Makes me most curious where the pricing info you got is coming from.
 
Yes you are correct. I was in shock when I got the price today and it was way off from the Ram site quote. 2 different dealers both quoted me today with the new base increase to $57,520. A few more dollars here and there on the other options as well.
 
Ordered yesterday the price came down 1500$ from the quote price to the actual order price with the von number on it..

Ouch! From postings, it appears many have had great experience dealing with Marks Dodge. Did you call them?

I can vouch for that, easiest truck purchase I have ever done dealing with Mark Dodge and saved $8600 from what my local dealer wanted but had to drive 1300 miles each way. Walked in signed 3 pieces of paper and was handed my keys. Grant you I had paid off the truck before getting there minus my trade that they never even looked at.
 
I bought a 2022 Ram 2500 on 1-2-22. Dealer told me that they had been told to expect a 2% price increase per quarter in 2022.

No due to their location. Did contact Koons though. They are 6% under invoice which is about $9300 off the sticker on my build. Their proc fee is a bit higher but it all evens out, especially since they offer price protection.
