    Not sure when it shipped out, but talked to Aaron yesterday and he said it was "at the port" and should be a week to 10 days until its at the dealer and to call on monday for an update

    Offroad capability between off road package, 4" and 6" BDS lift?

    Usually, strictly speaking performance, a lift should be dictated by how big of a tire you want to run. IE, what's the smallest lift I need to clear 35s/37s. Yes, a taller lift will increase approach/departure/breakover, but you do it at the expense of decreased downtravel and worse road...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Anyone have Aaron ship theirs to the Houston airport and fly in there? I think they have free delivery up to 200 Miles, and flying into Houston is direct and would save a ton of time.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    For federal taxes I believe it's kind of tricky to own a vehicle that does double duty as a personal vehicle, I think leases you can write off 100% and are not as scrutinized. There are some loopholes with trucks over 6k lbs I believe where there's an exemption that you can write off 100% of...

    Considering canceling order for new Laramie

    +1.....especially if you're ok with timing belts vs chains, and the outrageous cost of german parts

    Decided To Not Lift My Truck

    I'm in the same boat - haven't gotten the truck yet but keep going back and forth between lifting it (icon CO/s, replacing the rear coils/shocks, not a crappy leveling kit) or keeping it stock. Love the look of lifted trucks, but even if you pay up for good parts it will literally never drive...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Ordered my Laramie from Aaron in Feb, MSRP 63,815, before TTL 50,788. 20.4% off MSRP. Thought that was kinda standard, back then anyway?

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    We are saying the same thing, saying it's "front loaded" makes it sound like they are doing something other than just how math works.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    The banks don't "front load" interest, you're just paying interest on the principle, which decreases through time and therefore you pay less interest per payment through time. Because of this, amortization schedules will show that you are paying more in interest in earlier periods of a loan...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I know night edition is a bit more than blacking stuff out, but it really feels like its a 3-4k option, can't remember, for stuff you could plasti-dip for like $50. I skipped the NE because of that, seemed like a huge premium for no reason, although i do love the look

    Falcon - Teraflex Kit out

    Newb to the platform here - what's the story with Icon? Coming from the Jeep world, Teraflex (Falcon) has been crappy parts with good marketing, but I am liking the adjustability on the fly

    Why does the majority here use spacer lifts?

    It is pretty wild the differences in demand between platforms. I have a jeep JK, which probably has the biggest aftermarket options out there for any platform. The most surprising thing is that 5th gens start at $40kish new, with a lot of them going for much more than that, so it would seem...

    Why does the majority here use spacer lifts?

    What aftermarket BJs sheared? Haven't looked at ucas much but I would rather pay extra for an upgraded part, assuming the mopar is essentially stockish adjusting camber

    Why does the majority here use spacer lifts?

    Makes sense. I may try that route first since I'm going to do any real offroading. The Icon kit is tempting though, especially if you can get by without UCAs.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Ordered a Laramie from Aaron at Mark Dodge back in Feb - appreciate this thread! MSRP was 63.8, before TTL I'm at $50.8K with 0% financing, so just a hair over 20% discount. Zero back and forth, best experience thus far.

    An honest talk about Overlanding

    Depending on finances, at some point people shift from "what do i need" to "what do i want". Many people would say spending $5k on a mtb is outrageous, some people would say thats a crappy bike. it's all relative.

    Why does the majority here use spacer lifts?

    Looking at the below, its only $1900, which is obviously more than spacer lifts but still very good value. Why don't more people go that route vs spacer lifts? Just cost? https://www.polyperformance.com/icon-2019-dodge-ram-1500-suspension-systems Coming from Jeeps/Xterras, I'm familiar with...
