    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Easy choice to buy through Carl if you’re anywhere close to MD to take delivery. Transparency should be rewarded. The admin fee or doc fee has been going up as more of us squeeze dealerships. It’s a way for dealerships to guarantee some income on new trucks but none of that profit goes to the...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Right, but is it an ADDITIONAL 1% or is it a flat 1% below invoice pricing? So, if i’m getting 11% off MSRP now, does that automatically become 12% off or is it not stackable?

    I havent ordered from anyone yet. That may change by the end of the day.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Thanks for sharing that. What isn't clear is if that 1% is on top of additional discounts. Right now, both offers are already well under invoice. I want to see if its different than Costco member pricing, for instance. I'm already getting better than Costco member pricing, so there would be no...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Can anyone explain exactly what the TreadLightly discount is or how it works? Ive got two dealers offering similar discounts but one includes me signing up for TreadLightly and the other doesn’t. The one that doesn’t says any additional discounts would be in addition to what they’ve offered...

    Factory trailer brake controller - can it work automatically below 15 mph?

    You could set this up for different trailers or for the same trailer in different conditions (empty, loaded, wet roads, etc).

    Trailer Camera Prewire

    Can anyone educate me on the apparently new feature for adding a trailer camera prewire to a 1500? I'm guessing this is another outlet near the existing trailer wiring connectors where I can add my own trailer camera. What I don't know is how useful this feature would be for me hauling an...

    Not yet - likely tomorrow. Hopefully its just region specific, because I might get a Limited instead. I already want less chrome, not more.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I'm ordering a Longhorn and neither dealer that has tried to add the Anniversary Pkg. I don't want any of that stuff, even if it was free.

    Your deposit is refundable. No way dealer can keep it. They will make it more difficult on you but they have no legal ability to keep a deposit on a car you don’t buy.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Dealers like you to believe that the "state doc fee" is mandated by the state. This is plain false. It isn't mandated that they charge this ... it is LIMITED by mandate as to how high it can be. It is usually non-negotiable, but please understand that this is not a state fee. This money goes all...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Dealers typically make more money in the finance office than they do in the upfront sales team, FWIW. If you are getting a loan, ask what the "buy rate" of your loan is. Often your buy rate will be marked up a point or two so the dealer makes money on your loan, as well. This is why its good to...

    2021 Ram 1500 Limited Night Edition

    No doubt. Would love a blacked out Patriot Blue. Might need to reconsider the Longhorn if this is Limited only. Though I see the dealer associated with this Instagram is in Belgium. Hope its offered here.

    I was also quoted a $500 "Maryland processing fee" from Criswell. They make it sound like Maryland mandates it, whereas I'm sure Maryland puts an upper limit to it. I was also told current orders are 21's.

    Cylinder deactivation? 5.7

    Any reports how this has affected reliability of the 5.7? Obviously it has for GM's version. I also see that Ford is finally going to be on board with 2021 on the Coyote.

    vs. 2021 F150

    I should point out i’m looking Hemi vs Coyote and will be adding Borla’s midrange exhaust got either. I’ll be towing a 6-7,000 lbs enclosed car hauler 6-10 times per year for 4-10 hour drives each.
