    Which Fuel Wheels Should I Get?

    C for sure for me.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Congrats I know you’ve been trying/waiting for awhile like me! What was your price before rebates (dealer discount)?

    So I just got back from a road trip

    Saw your sig and profile pic...you tow a 5th wheel with your 5’7” box 1500??

    So I just got back from a road trip

    How is an engine that is $3000 more than the eTorque and $3200 more than the regular Hemi cheaper?

    Why? The ED wound have cost you $3200 over the regular Hemi and you would never make your money back. ED costs you up front and in mx so any “savings” you think you see with the fuel-ups is more than negated by the up front cost, mx and interest if you financed.

    So I just got back from a road trip

    I would say Rebel has a 2” lift and off-road tires which absolutely hurts MPG. Your Escalade has street tires and rides lower. And as others have said, 6.2L with “highly recommended” premium vs. “recommended” mid-grade on Rebel. If you really want to maximize your MPG, the 3.0 Duramax is the...

    Etorque

    Look at your state’s lemon laws as most have a 3rd time OR 30 days out of service. Sounds like you are well on your way to 30 days unfortunately.

    I don’t think his point was necessarily just the tech but that GM’s warranty didn’t cover it. Ram’s Maxcare is a great avenue to deal with all the tech like you point out as you can buy a factory warranty up to 7ry/unlimited or 8yr/125k that will cover all the tech. GM doesn’t offer that...you...

    Let me just caution you that unless things have changed, back in 2014 when I ordered my Longhorn, it showed up on the Ram site in a search as an In Transit vehicle but it was clearly "not for sale" as it was my truck I ordered and as such, never appeared on the dealer's website. I've already...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Yeah since you have a VIN and the 10th digit is a "M" that would be a 2021. A dealer's discount can be had at any time and has nothing to do with rebates so your's is a 2021 which just means a few months until delivery if you believe the statements that they aren't going to start building them...

    Congrats on the truck! I'm curious though since you had to finance to get your rebates, what rate did they finance you at? Was it through Chrysler or one of their banks the dealer has a relationship with?

    FCA has wireless Apple Carplay as it's included in the 2021 New Durango so it will be rolled out to the entire line-up in 2021/2022 as well. The generator is a neat idea and their interior is improved but still not at the level of the Ram IMO. The actual exterior design of the F-150 leaves...

    vs. 2021 F150

    Yeah from a fuel cost, GM's "highly recommending" 91 for the 6.2 V8 makes it a non-starter since for the same upgrade price ($2495), you can get the 3.0 Duramax so from a cost perspective it's a no brainer to get the diesel. I have test driven the Limited w/ air, Longhorn without air, AT4...

    vs. 2021 F150

    Yeah on the GM forums many of them are upset that GM doesn't offer an optional bigger fuel tank as everything gets 24 gallons and there is not bigger option. On a 6.2V8 that gets 17 sticker and needs premium, that doesn't sit well. Unlike the HEMI, you CAN use regular in the 6.2 V8 but you'll...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    When you say spec'd was your dealer able to show you any information on the 2021s? Supposedly the dealer ordering books are out but we haven't seen any information and it's still not up on the ram site. That said, what the dealer offers you for a price when you order shouldn't change whether...

    The problem is brand loyalists buy up whatever they produce. Look at the Tundra as a perfect example...decade plus old design? A V8 that has a combined average of 14 mpg which is 5 behind GM and Rams' base V8? I live in San Antonio and the Tundra is produced here and I just laugh everytime I...

    Holdback is what you're referring to and there's a lot to it but suffice it to say that holdback is an amount that the manufacturer pays the dealer to offset the finance cost of his/her inventory. Every day the car sits on the dealer's lot costs them in financing as part of their overall floor...

    Disclaimer: I do not work for them nor have any financial interest in BB. That said, I did purchase a 2019 Pacifica Limited from them and it was a great experience and price. Contact Matt Fraser (Sales Manager) at [email protected]. I can also give you a salesman's e-mail/number if you want...
