You never know what they will be until they come out it’s all speculations.
If you can get a good decent price now and you found the truck you like I would just do it.
At the end of the day there’s always going to be a better deal along the way it’s part of the game

Always speculation, but I would have thought they would have increased the incentives last month and they didn't. I'd be surprised if we didn't see some kind of increase this month. Not sure there is any harm in waiting less than a week to find out.

I would say it will be the same for the new models being that it’s a 2019 going into 2019. I don’t know how much higher they can offer being a new model it might go up for 2018’s but who knows.
I got about $5000 off in rebates last month plus $8500 dealer discount.
Now my dealership is offering the same rebates plus $9000 dealer discount.
If you want the truck try getting a better dealer discount to maximize your savings and take the rebate That’s available now
Good luck
That is a sweet deal ! What trim is that truck ? I am already shopping far from my state FL to get good deal and to find what I want , I know dealers are more aggressive by end of the month , for limited trim I couldn't get more that 3k rebate and 7 k discount

You could be right. However, the Limited incentive is only 1,500 currently. Canada saw an increase the US did not last month I believe. I'm not in the same boat as the OP, as I ordered and can only benefit from potential better incentives in October. If the OP is happy with a deal that expires this month prior to the next month mystery incentives, then by all means pull the trigger. We had a poster on the forum have that exact scenario last month and they scored extra money at the end of the month that they would have lost had they waited for the September incentives hoping they were better. So you are correct it is no guarantee at all.

I have a big horn and I’m located in California
And yeah I get what you mean I saw my dealership is offering the 9k off discount and the same up to 3750 qualifying rebates for the limited your looking for.
But it never hurts waiting to see if the rebates increase hopefully it works out
For a factory order the dealer I talked to would lock in the price including rebates like the current $1500 customer cash one when you place the order, not when it gets delivered. At delivery time rebates like Penfed, Sam's club etc would be evaluated and subtracted. I am looking at the Limited and trying to figure out if I should wait or not. A local dealer told me he could not place a factory order right now because I want the eTorque and apparently you can't currently build those.

That's up to you and your dealer if that's the deal they are offering. Myself, and I know some others on here, have deals with our dealers that I'm guaranteed the rebates from when I ordered (there is order protection I believe) or I can take advantage of better incentives at the time of delivery.
I was that as well, this is what I was told by Dennis Dillon
The local dealer said he could not give me a quote on a factor build one because 'the system' wouldn't let him build any trim with an etorque.

Same thing happened to me, trying to order and told me I have to wait 10/05 for the allotment to open, whatever that means.
I placed a factory order which included eTorque last week of Aug, it was built on Sept 24th. Not sure why one can not place order now. I do know my dealer told me at time of order they would be ramping up dealer orders for ‘19 inventory, possibly the eTorque has bee over extended on orders

Just got off the phone with my dealer..... I was supposed to pick up my truck today, but he wants me to wait for the October rebates to hit. He said he was told they will be better than Aug/Sept ones. I figure its been 140 days, what's another 2?
My truck came in Sunday but I decided to wait as well. Here's to hoping it works out tomorrow!
So... just checked ramtrucks.com and all of the cash incentives are gone. All that's there is a 4.16% for 60 month offer. Hoping they just haven't finished updating the new ones yet, otherwise that's quite a slap in the face.

Same thing happened last time. It usually takes a couple days to get the website fully updated for each model. I'd imagine that it should be good to go by Thursday. I guess if you are really impatient you can just call the incentive office (1-800-227-0757) and see what they say.
