Ram 1500 orders - Tell Us About Yours!

I could be wrong, but I'd be surprised if they aren't building a bunch of Hemi powered trucks first to get out to dealers. Seems like those would be a priority to put on lots for dealers.

Yeah, typically they get those to dealers first so they can be avail to the public.
 
I ordered mine through Carvana and received delivery this past Saturday. I couldn't be more happier with this purchase. The last time I had a pickup was back in 2004, when I had a brand new Dakota. This Ram was a long wait but worth it. RAM.jpgthumbnail_IMG_6915.jpg
 
I have finally picked up my truck! I already have a slight issue, but hopefully the dealership gets it taken care of. It seems my throttle is overly sensitive, so start stop doesn't work unless I hook my toe under it and pull it up before stopping.
 
Hi, I am new to the forum. What do members of this forum consider a good price for a 2025 Tungsten (Forged Blue Metallic), with Towing Technology Group, Trailer-Tow Group, Off-Road Group, and Chrome Power-Fold Trailer-Tow Mirrors including destination charge? Right now, I am seeing $81,572. Is it reasonable to think that with these options I could get it for under $79K?

Lots of folks have gotten much more. Pretty regularly see $17-18k off. I got $21k off a Tungsten with a combination of dealer discount, employee pricing for all, and a $1k TDM code. It's also the end of the model year. I'd target between $70-75k for a $93k MSRP build.
 
I checked with Mark Dodge (great experience so far), and considering they don't have the vehicle I want, and if they were able to get something very similar to what I do want (see above), their price would be around $80,985 including destination, before TTL, which is $587 less expensive than a dealer who has what I am looking for (actually it's a little overbuilt, but I am willing to compromise). Did incentives change from June to July? Finding a 2025 model, forged blue metallic Tungsten in my area has been very difficult.
 
Dealer just called. It's been 2 months since I put a deposit down. Have to re-order a 2026 which is good because of the
warranty. Stellantis claims 10k orders since announcing the hemi. I'll probably have to start at ground zero. Big Horn
price increased. Will they honor my discounts? Can I still get the same options even though the web site for
builds says I can't? We will see.....

I got my MSRP of 79800 for around 63k. Very similar build but a Laramie.
 
Here's my story from today's visit to a rural Ram dealership. They have the vehicle I want. 2025 Ram 1500 Tungsten, Forged Blue Metallic, Towing Technology Group, Trailer-Tow Group, Off-Road Group, and Chrome Power-Fold Trailer Tow Mirrors. The MSRP is $93,145. Finding a Forged Blue Metallic has been challenging. They were willing to sell it for $82,995, which I felt was a little high. However, we reached an agreement on my trade as I negotiated up an additional $1K and then $1,500. The extra $500 though however was short-lived, as they magically tacked on $500 for VIN etching and leather protection, which I do not want and will not pay for. They stated their dealership charges this for every customer. I let them know I am not every customer, and I left, because having the power to walk away is powerful and freeing, as I tend to believe many people once they reach this far in the process will agree to almost anything. I was there for almost 2 hours. A lot of back and forth. A lot of waiting. Any suggestions on where I can find a similarly equipped vehicle nationwide? And price I should expect to pay?

Send an email to Mark Dodge with the exact build you want, and see what they send back. That will be close to the best price you’ll see, though some people get better pricing, Mark Dodge on average is a very fair price. That should give you a neighborhood for pricing. I took their price to my local dealer and basically got them to match it. I did have to order to get the truck I wanted though.

I've actually done just that. I have been communicating with Anthony via email and phone (he's been great; very knowledgeable and responsive). Unfortunately, they don't have the particular truck that I am looking for, and most likely won't be able to get a 2025 model in it. I would opt for the 2026 model (order), but I don't want black seats.

Dealership took an hour and a half to confirm my diagnosis of needing a new pedal/throttle assembly, and have the part ordered. Luckily the vehicle is drivable in the meantime, so I'll take that as a win.

Did they say that the light colored seats won’t be available in the 2026? I ordered a 2025 tungsten but it’s still listed as scheduled. I’m a little concerned it may get converted to a 2026 and I really want the light colored seats. That’s the reason I got a tungsten instead of a limited.

I've been told by a few dealerships that all 2026 Tungstens will come with black leather seats. The lighter colored leather seats that we see today are only available for 2025. It could be wrong information, however at least 3 dealerships have told me this.

Thanks for the response. I guess I just have to hope mine gets built as a 2025. Others have already had theirs moved to a 2026.

Found out yesterday that it was converted to a 2026, so I ended up canceling it.

I am sure this is disappointing for you! Are you able to find any similarly equipped Tungstens in your local or regional area that are still 2025 models?
