    Buying strategy for 2019 Ram 1500

    They're wider and can be rotated 90° (i.e. portrait or landscape orientation). From what I've read here the regular mirrors are big enough for towing. I'll get a set of strap-on tow-mirrors if that turns out to not be the case. You keep saying "Long Horn" when I think you mean "Big Horn." The...

    Buying strategy for 2019 Ram 1500

    It sounds like you and your wife are about to start living the dream that my wife and I have; congratulations! As for your plan, your biggest problem will probably be finding a truck with the right set of options, particularly if you're set on a 2019 model. You should be able to find something...

    Is Ram production suspended?

    My order (below) was for short bed, V8, non-eTorque. Tell them to enter it as a sold order.

    Is Ram production suspended?

    I don't know; it happened to quickly. I was in D on 2/26, D1 on 3/3, still D1 on 3/7, and KZ today (3/11). Inspections should be quick as long as no issues are found. I don't think anything in my build required getting sent off site so I probably skipped JB. Mine is shipping to Iowa.

    Is Ram production suspended?

    Fingers crossed for you that your truck sails through inspection. I ordered the same day (2/25) and just got confirmation from Ram Chat that I'm in KZ now.

    Is Ram production suspended?

    They might be looking for a quick sale vs. something a couple months out. It would be weird if they weren't allowed to enter a sold order. It's possible that they can't order that combination for dealer inventory because they've already hit their allocation limit. If that's the case, you should...

    Is Ram production suspended?

    I certainly hope not — I have an order in now! I can't imagine that FCA would suspend production for anything other than a labor strike, unavailability of a critical part, or some event causing major damage to the factory. It sounds to me like your local dealer was trying to convince you to buy...

    360 degree camera 8.4 inch screen

    The 360 camera is part of the Advanced Safety Group, which requires the Level 2 Equipment group. The level 2 equipment group includes the 8.4" screen w/NAV. You don't have to get the 12" screen. (I didn't want it either.) DO NOT get the trailer tow group. The tow mirrors don't support the...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    While the OTD price is what ultimately matters to you as a buyer, a goal of 20% off after TTL isn't realistic. Not without some massive incentives, anyway. Also, your target price should be before any trade-in. TTL is going to depend on where you live. Incentives are going to depend on which...

    Negotiating now

    So, MSRP is $57,910? At that price point $9000 would be a huge dealer discount. It's more likely that the price they quoted you already includes rebates. There should still be room for negotiation, but maybe not $3000 worth of room, and you may have go to a different dealership to get a better...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    FWP = factory wholesale price, a.k.a. invoice. The price they quoted you is 2.8% below invoice — nearly all the holdback and well below what you'd get with Tread Lightly. It's a good price. You could probably do a little better (1% or so) if you can find a volume dealer in your area. The...

    Anyone else feel the Level 2 package on Laramie trim not worth the cost?

    Big time. I just ordered a Laramie with the level 2 equipment package because I wanted the advanced safety group but if I could have gotten ASG with the level 1 package I would have. (The only thing in the level 2 package that interests me at all is the HK system and that isn't worth an extra...

    Shout out to positive dealer experiences

    Thank you for this thread! I've been soliciting quotes on a build to order. I contacted Southtown after reading your recommendation and their quote was by far the lowest of any dealership in the area. After a bit of emailing back and forth I placed my order last Friday. :)
