Ok thanks, I just reached out to Aaron with MD. I’ll let y’all know if it’s a go!
Let us know on the Tread Lightly and MD. I used Tread Lightly for my Wrangler in 2015 and i was great. MD already gave me a great price for my Rebel, but if it can be stacked for an additional point or two, thats worth the $100.

Tread Lightly is part of the FCA affiliate.
I was also told something changed, but my dealer was vague. He asked me to generate a control code, but I told him I wanted to wait for the truck to actually show up.
The official FCA affiliate page still shows the last change from OCT 01, 2021. Last time we heard rumors it was changing, that page updated very shortly. It would be nice for it to come back, but I don't trust dealers on their word alone. The old trust but verify I guess.
Keep in mind you have to be part of tread lightly for something like 90 days before you can use the discount. You an sign up for an FCA account early, but the say you have a kind of cooling off period.

Yes, it's the $100 level. And it supposedly qualifies you for 1% below invoice. I think.

If your sale price is already below FFP (invoice), then Stellantis won’t let the dealer also stack the 1% Affiliates

My dealer kept telling me to wait to signup, especially since there were no 1500s getting discount from Tread Lightly. Now my truck is 20 days out and I'm too late (I think it's just 30 days). However, my employer looks to get preferred pricing which is 1% off invoice. Let's hope 1500s are included.

Has to be 30 days before you close the deal. Won’t work for me, mine is on a train as we speak.

How far from the estimated ship date have people been getting their trucks lately? My estimated ship date seems optimistically close, I am not sure if I should get excited or not yet.

The "estimated ship date" is the anticipated date that it will come off of the production line. You should then expect at least a few days for body vendor and/or final inspection (to see a window sticker). Then a couple of weeks for transportation to your dealer.

If it's at the dealer even a month after the expected ship date I will be very happy compared to the original estimate the salesman gave me. That's why I was unsure how close it would be or not.

So it looks like you pay 100 bucks for membership and get a $500 discount from fca?
That is correct. I used it in 2015 for my Wrangler purchase and Im going to use it now for my Rebel purchase with MD. (verified)

Make sure you have the membership for at least 30 days or it won’t count.
