    Sad day

    Make sure you claim diminished value from the insurer paying the claim...I sure would.

    Are you saying it's feasible without a dealer to upgrade from 8.4 Nav -> 12 Nav provided you have the right parts?

    Lvl 2 equipment group and advanced safety group

    The window sticker has changed - for the L2 it also has the 19 speaker HK system. If you have L1 for Laramie and get the 8.4 Nav option for $795, you'll get everything you highlighted in yellow. JMO it's greedy of FCA they force you to spend 3k to upgrade from L1 - L2 to have the privilege of...

    Lvl 2 equipment group and advanced safety group

    I don't know what trim level the Rebel's L1 and L2 compare to, but on my Laramie, it has what's important from what's in the active safety group in the L1 package. Laramie L1 has blind spot detection and Parksense. The L2 package + ASG add Adaptive Cruise, Advanced Brake Assist, Parking...

    Laramie blacked out version

    Yes. Outside of quality issues and eTorque issues, it’s pretty sweet. Optioned smartly and with the higher trim discounts for Laramies, it’s quite a bit less than a limited. If you’re going to check every single option off though, different story.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Yes, it’s still clear. You’re assuming every buyer has the same budget. Quite a few people don’t want leather and would never look at the Laramie. Others hate the grill or lights on the longhorn and limited, while some really want the black appearance package. So if you are shopping for a...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Your deal is offset by the overpriced dealer add ons. $800 gps locator sounds like the dealer is asking you to pay for when the truck is repo’d. Candidly, it sounds like you are spending more than you should given your negative equity. I’d be spending less and looking for a truck without...

    Horrific Gas Mileage Hemi eTorque

    +1 on over time disappointment with the updates. After initial euphoria, the average MPG, regardless of driving conditions is back where it was prior to the updates. That's after about 1k of miles post updates. I hope Ram is continuing to investigate this as a priority. A few randoms that...

    Trucks With Issues: Ordered From Factory or Bought Off The Lot

    Laramie CC Built 8/08 Purchased after thanksgiving off the lot 2200 miles God awful mileage on v8 etorque (back to where it was pre TSB updates) Backup camera goes blank in R UConnect 8.4 won't update OTA Tailgate sensor randomly comes on (with or without tonneau cover on) UConnect sometimes...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    That includes everything, all rebates and offers. Like you said, it's easier to work with that and let the dealer figure out where to pull the levers to get a price you're happy with. When I was looking, the smaller dealers couldn't sniff near the volume dealers/motivated end of month dealers...

    What do you think of this price?

    It's getting towards end of the month, anything's possible. I'd be patient at this point, keep searching and wait the dealers out. What you're seeking is possible in Maryland. A friend who fell in love with the 1500 after seeing mine bought one recently at Heritage. I didn't buy from them...

    New from Maryland

    Tate...home of the Tate and switch. That place is a raging dumpster fire. Welcome from MD! Sitting on 495/95/895/695 has never felt as good as it does in a 5th gen!

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    For a Bighorn, yes. At the moment, % goes down on average with the higher trims...seems like good deal is: Bighorn: 22% or greater Laramie: 18% or greater Rebel: 16% or greater Longhorn: 16% or greater Limited: 15% or greater Beyond those numbers, you're hunting for something unique to...

    Weathertech or the Mopar Rubber Slush mats

    Part 82215321AB I went to the Mopar/RAM site to get the correct part number for my crew cab and ordered that one. They also did VIN verification through the order process to validate it was the correct fit for my truck.

    Weathertech or the Mopar Rubber Slush mats

    They have the Mopar mats available from Athens Ram (moparpartsslurpus.com) at a sweet price. Thought it was worth taking a gamble but they showed up 2 days later. Paid less than the other brands mentioned on this thread as well. Glad I did - they are great!

    Pros and Cons of e-tourque?

    Here is my problem with what you’re saying. If you go to Ram’s website they very clearly define the purpose of the V8 etorque as a fuel saving technology first. They even have a gas saving calculator you can use on the website to calculate your fuel savings. It even states a primary benefit as...

    No Lifetime Warranty, so now what?????

    GEICO is awesome - their mechanical breakdown insurance is the best kept secret in car insurance. I've had it on all my cars. They've paid for some very expensive repairs over the years. I am surprised they continue to allow me to sign up for it. Most recently, the transmission went on my...

    Would you buy it again?

    Not a 2019. Feels like I paid a lot to be a beta tester for the official version of the 1500 in 2020 or 2021.
