Seems highly unlikely there's a real shortage for this. Ram 1500 inventories are high and they are still cranking them out.

If you need wiper blades, Costco is running a sale on the Micheline blades. Limit 4. In store price may be lower.

Take it you never bought a vehicle in Florida. $1k is the norm here.

James, glad to see some more competitive offers from ram dealers. It may be helpful to post some example deals. For the layperson, invoice is ??? I've seen discounts as high as 14% off MSRP on some 1500 trims. No idea how that compares.

Glad to have you! So happens I already have my 1500 but I may be interested in a jeep Wrangler 4xe. Anything noteworthy on those?
