What does that mean? You can't get a night edition? Seems kinda dumb.

Might post a thread to get more views but I am hoping someone in Florida can help me with a question. My MD truck arrived today. It has the MD paper advertisement plate on the truck and a Louisianna temp tag which was inside the console. In Florida, do I need to slap that Louisiana temp tag on...

$650 and 860 miles. I read somewhere the general rule of thumb is $1 a mile but went with what MD told me. I went on the low side of their recommended range. With gas as high as it is I was expecting to pay way more. A one way ticket to Lake Charles is about $420. Add in gas and it would have...

My bid got accepted overnight. Should be here in a few days.

How much did you have to bump it?

Anyone have an rough estimates on how long it took from the time it was listed on Central Dispatch till you had a ride? I placed a bid at what MD recommended. Hoping to have it soon.

Just got the call it has arrived at MD. Nine weeks from order to the day. Wayyyy faster than I was expecting. Guess I have to pay for this thing now.

For the record, the MPG numbers in 2008 were far worse than they are today. I do think we will see a slowdown in demand once the recession sinks in but I don’t think it will be like it was in 2008. 17-20 MPG of todays 1/2 ton trucks is a far easier pill to swallow than 10-13 MPG.

Does yours show an ETA date below?

When I checked earlier, the site looked like what others have posted with the half built truck. It also didn't show an ETA date for my truck. I checked again this afternoon and now it shows an actual ETA date of June 17th. I'm curious if everyone, even trucks that haven't been built yet, have an...

I went back and forth on F150 hybrid vs Ram 1500 and ended up ordering a RAM. I’m coming from a Toyota I drove for twelve years without a problem and to be honest I would have probably just stayed with Toyota had this not been 2022 with the supply issues. I had a good friend in a brand new Ram...

In what Universe are truck prices coming down? They are not coming down anytime this year and pending a recession, I don’t see new car prices changing much while supply chain issues are around. In talking with some people I know who work in large scale manufacturing, that isn‘t going to be...

It hasn’t shipped? I was told by Ram Chat mine shipped but they couldn’t give an ETA.

Dumb question. If shipping, does it ride with any kind of protective wrap from the factory? It’s bug season here and I’d imagine the trip from LA to here is gonna be love bug central.
