Ram 1500 orders - Tell Us About Yours!

[PetePA]

I am new and I apologize if this has been asked many times..
I am looking at a new 2025 Ram 1500 Big Horn. Does the Tread Lightly group discount work on any Ram 1500 and does it have to be ordered or can it be on a lot? I am in Central New York. Do you know if people have been getting a better discount with delivery from Mark Dodge (quite the delivery from Louisiana) than the Tread Lightly discount?
Thanks in advance on any help as I may have to sign up for Tread Lightly with the 30 days before the month ends if incentives disappear.

The tread lightly discount is additive at Mark Dodge. You basically spend $100 to get something like $700 off the price so not bad for 10 minutes of your time to sign up.

I've never heard anything bad about Mark Dodge here or elsewhere. In fact, nothing but good things. However, I got mine through Faulkner in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and it was also an amazing experience.

Both dealers have amazing prices. Mark Dodge was about $1,500 cheaper for me even considering delivery. I decided to go to Faulkner because it's driving distance.

The tread lightly discount works with any truck as long as you buy from a dealership that chooses to honor the discount; not all dealerships will. You also have to be a tread lightly member for at least 30 days before you can get a discount code.

I just got my 2025 Ram 1500 Limited Longhorn last Friday (purchased from Mark Dodge). Sticker was $87,880 and I paid $68,968 before TTL (so 21.5% discount). After Texas TTL the total came to $73,381.49. I felt like it was a great deal.

For reference my previous truck was a 2022 Ram 1500 Limited that stickered for $74,505 and cost me $72,263.66 before TTL (3% discount). Of course finding any truck to buy in February 2022 was tough to do (got in a wreck that totaled the 2020 Ford I had before that). This was also before I knew about Mark Dodge and I feel like I probably could've gotten a better deal if I'd known then what I know today.

Nice! Sounds like a great deal. I just signed up for Tread Lightly on the 1st so hopefully I can utilize it on the 30th if need be to use April's incentives. I also just contacted Mark Dodge and Faulker to get the ball rolling. I'm not sure how much delivery would be to go from Louisiana to New York. Did you have to do any "haggling" to get that price with Mark Dodge or do they immediately give you the best offer?

No haggling at all with MD. Anthony has a post on here where he spells out exactly what their discounts are and they stuck to that. Super painless process and totally transparent with no funny business at the end or any high pressure sales tactics for extended warranties or anything like that.

I'm not sure how much delivery would be to go from Louisiana to New York.

When I talked to MD a little more than 18 months ago, delivery from LA to central CT would have been about $1300. I'm sure that's gone up a little now, but probably still in the same ballpark.

MD was very easy to communicate with, but I wound up buying my truck from Koons in VA to save the delivery cost...flew from CT to VA for $150, signed paperwork and drove home the same day. Koons was also very easy to deal with, sold me the truck for essentially the same price as MD, and saved money not having to worry about delivery.
