    Price negotiated from MSRP

    You got a full 30% off. That's about 1/3 from the dealer and 2/3 from Ram, so it's a grand slam home run!

    Purchasing using an Employee Advantage Control Number

    Scottmoyer is exactly right. Most dealers lie. I showed my MD deal to a local Richmond Va dealer and he claimed he would lose $3000 at MDs price. I didn't believe a word he said. Bought at MD. Had it shipped for $800. A smokin great deal, and the dealer fee was 500 less too.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    That should include about $4k in taxes etc, and if so that's $72k for the truck. At a minimum that shoud be a $92k msrp. If you can't get a legit $20 before taxes off of 90k+, suggest you right away, call Anthony at Mark Dodge. He's the real deal. No bs

    '24 1500 4wd Steering Binds, Jerks With Slight Turns on Snow

    Anyone besides OP who's experienced 4wd steering bind up in a 5th gen on snow or ice or loose gravel, with just a 3/4 turn of the steering wheel?

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Not sure why Knight Cjdr would move prices up and down within the day. Sounds sketchy at a minimum. As mentioned, the majority of their Ram prices were about 20%off. I was able to verify that on of their list of discounts, one for $1500 used trade in bonus is apparently total bs, so be...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Most everyone knows TK on you tube has been sayin 30-35% off msrp is coming. Well sure enough i found 30% off on several 25 Big Horns at a Ca dealer today. Other Rams were more like 20% off. It's part dealer discount and part Ram discounts and rebates, with about 1/3 coming from the dealer...

    Purchasing using an Employee Advantage Control Number

    I had a control number for a 24 and compared it to Anthony at Mark Dodge. The MD deal was many thousands cheaper. Run, dont walk to MD. What makes them different is they are honest and for real. Its unique in the car business! Truly

    '24 1500 4wd Steering Binds, Jerks With Slight Turns on Snow

    Op has standard 20s, and pressure at 38. Exact same as my 2016. I hear that wheelbases grew 4" with 5th gen, but I would swear that my 4wd turning radius could be double the 2wd radius of 150' or so. At least it sure seems that way.

    '24 1500 4wd Steering Binds, Jerks With Slight Turns on Snow

    Yes for sure. It was big snow and ice. And as mentioned before, 3/4 turn of the steering and it's bound up. I'd be curious if other 2019-2025 owners can turn their steering wheel more than 3/4 turn. Like 4 tries to get into a regular parking space.

    '24 1500 4wd Steering Binds, Jerks With Slight Turns on Snow

    '24 1500 steering jerks and binds on snow in 4wd high, when the steering wheel is turned just 3/4 turn. I understand all 4wds have a greater steering radius in 4wd due to drive linkage binding, but compared to my 2016, the radius in 4wd must be twice as great. Do others experience what must be...

    diminished value claim

    I fought other drivers insurance company, Geico, for nearly a year. They acted like they never heard if DV, and are good at it. In my opinion they were very dishonnest and tried every excuse you can imagine. Finally i took the other driver to court and Geico defended him. Judge awarded me 4k...

    New Buyer Ram Engine Preference Survey: V8 vs. 6 Cyl. Turbo, or Std 6 Cyl

    Here's some impartial comparisons, some may find interesting. I'm not taking a side... V8 engines typically produce more power and torque compared to a 6-cylinder turbocharged engine, especially at lower RPMs. This is due to the larger displacement and more cylinders, which allow for greater...

    ABS MODULE BACK ORDER ? 😤

    We all know there's a current massive recall on abs for 1500s and maybe other models, but that is just reprogramming. The module replacement is not part of the recall.

    New Buyer Ram Engine Preference Survey: V8 vs. 6 Cyl. Turbo, or Std 6 Cyl

    According to a lead article in this forum, Ram may resume offering the Hemi v8 in 2026 1500s. Other articles have said that the Hemi might just be offered in Tradesman or other lower end models like Big Horn . It also may be that Ram comes out with an all new V8 as an alternative. It's all...

    2025 Bed Light / Bed Lamp

    Tie into cargo light circuit. Its the white/tan wire. Runs in a bundle under the rear floor, left side. Going this route no switch, no relay, no harness needed. Cargo lights will come on with cargo light, and go off when tailgate and doors are closed. The bundle below the floor has about 30...

    Horrible First Impressions - Huge Fail

    I bought a '24 Laramie 12 months ago. Unlike Op, no real trouble, no body or tailgate issues, no alignment issues, no leaky lights, no rust. The only thing I have noticed is the uconnect 12" screen will occasionally change on its own, but later changes back. I thought the blind spot warning was...

    Ever seen a "good" carfax that still made you worry?

    Never, never, never rely on a Carfax, even if it is your own car! I sold a 2 owner Lexus to the local Lexus dealer, and bingo, they cleansed the Carfax because the next day it became a Lexus certified one owner car! (the dealer pays a monthly fee to Carfax, and that gives them enough clout to...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Yeah, 23% off sounds like a max number right now, but be careful because that's about half from Stellantis and half from the dealer. Looked at that way, Stellantis has been about 10-12% off with all their rebates and promotions up until now.. So just maybe, maybe they offer another 5 or 10%...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    35% Really? There's a catch. I called a Ram dealer in Los Angeles today. He claimed the deal is evolving and not close to 35% yet, and only applies to lower trims, possibly not Laramie and above. Cutting to the chase, he said on a $63k Big Horn msrp, Stellantis would today give about $6500...
