I've been a Toyota Tundra owner for the last 12 years and was looking to buy the all new TRD Pro model. Fortunately, the local Toyota dealerships are price gouging and I didn't buy one. I wasn't gonna pay 7500 over MSRP for any vehicle. Supply issues or not. I've had several Nissans, a few Toyotas, Chevrolets, GMC's, and a 69 Jeepster Commando, but never a Dodge/Ram truck. I owned a Dodge Polara for a while that my grandfather purchased new in '68, but it wasn't a daily driver. When the prices got crazy I started looking for a deal and realized Ram trucks have came a long way since I last looked.

In my opinion, the inside materials and design features of Ram trucks are on par with or exceed the competitors. I thought the tall 12 inch screen was a little weird since most manufacturers are wider than taller, but found that it improves ergonomics once I was able to sit in one. After hours of research and visiting dealerships I found Zach's post, from Granger Motors here on the HDRams forum where custom order trucks are sold at 4% below invoice. With build options slowly becoming unavailable, and supply being limited, I decided to stop looking and order a Power Wagon from Granger. I was able to get everything I wanted except the Safety Package due to the chip shortage.

I'm looking forward to owning my first Ram truck, albeit it could be 9 months or more away, and learning from the folks here on HDRams.
 
Welcome and congrats on the new Power wagon.
15K miles on mine now and loving it. My first Ram/Dodge as well.
 
Welcome. I've enjoyed my last 2 RAMs, just don't expect Tundra MPG!
IF you decide you want some of those options, they might be easy-ish to add later when parts are available.
 
Ouch 4% below invoice? I thought just not getting a surcharge above MSRP was good, and settled for straight MSRP.

I was just before doing the same thing. I started reading through HDRams because I was trying to figure out why my local dealer couldn't order a truck with Ramboxes and found Zach's post from Granger. Saved me nearly 6k even after I get a plane ticket and drive 1200 miles.
 
Nice, thx. The dealer said they would send me a VIN in a day or two. I received an email today from Ram Brand welcoming me to the Ram family. I know the light at the end of the tunnel is less than dim at this point, but it does give me something to look forward to. Appreciate the welcome.
