1. At least 450 HP 2. "Suede" headliner on pano equipped limited - not available on other trims 3. Make Limited more exclusive. i.e. The cheapest MSRP on a limited should be mid to upper $60s. Nearly all options should be standard. 4. Off-road package available with 22s 5. Laguna leather option...

Ford cleverly led people to that. They crammed the eco boost down people’s throats. Long before demand was there, dealers were encouraged by ford to make the majority of their truck inventory ecoboost. They were actively discouraged from ordering the 5.0. This was said best on a car blog. The...

Reliable sources are saying Ford is putting the GT500 engine in the raptor in 2 years. Articles came out today. Clearly Ford knows people want the V8, and I’d venture to say in the Ford Gt as well, but since they have a captive audience as there are no true domestic competitors to either car...

They have very high resale value. You have to remember there is a huge range in options. Raptors start in the mid 50s I think. I’m just curious to see how much the TRX Ram affects that. It’s also worth mentioning that there are rumors Ford is going to stop production on it. Not sure if they’re...

The dealer websites list Raptors above MSRP, but if you walk in the door they are all offering 2019 Raptors (with the new suspension) at MSRP. My friends MSRP was in the 76s with nearly every option. Fully loaded is $77k. Anyone paying over sticker on a Raptor now is terrible at negotiating...

I hope the rumors are true about it being a 2020 model. They’re leaving money on the table by not getting it to market. I’d say conservatively that 1/4 of all raptor owners will jump ship. They hate the fords **** Rubbermaid interior and rice rocket sounding V6. But there were no other options...

Not regularly, but I hunt and depending on where I go I don’t always have my lease vehicle. 2 years ago I was north of Lano Texas in my Chevy high country, where there a lot of steep hills with loose rocks where you have to go up and then down again to get a stand or feeder. I made it up one...

Well, interesting update. Dealer said it’s “not letting him order e-locker”. And that I’d have to go with anti-spin. I said I’d entertain that. Then he says he can’t order protection group, so I said no cigar. He said it was backordered. I said thanks but I’ll go ahead and wait. He said he was...

No, but I just googled it. Man you saved me! Thank you!! I definitely do NOT want tow mirrors. And the 360 surround is important. Calling the dealer now.

EDITED: Thanks to edrclark suggestions. Well, the day has come and I'm ordering a Ram Limited. Had I gone the HD route I'd be ordering a 2019 F250 Limited, but I can't deal with no parking in parking garages. I talked with owner of my local dealer and told him my magic number. Minimum $10k...

Slow at the office this week. Did a little research. It looks like someone has covered the topic I'm bringing up. He even puts the strategy into an easy to follow formula: https://clark.com/cars/eye-opening-truth-about-dealer-invoice-price/

So despite my distaste for Ford interiors, I'm possibly looking at them now. My CPA just told me that in 2019 HD trucks are 100% tax deductible against the business. It's called "100% bonus depreciation". That has me looking at 2500s. Unfortunately the Ram HD looks like it doesn't have the...

I just read a recent article that the Rebel TRX is a 2020 model coming out in middle of 2019. Previous reports had it a 2021 model in 2020. If that's true great! When the new Raptor dropped I tried to give the Ecoobost a chance, but after hearing it start, and drive, I just couldn't do it. A...

I got roughly $11k off my 2015 High Country in 2014. This was from a salesman who for hours was saying $7500 was his "best". Now where I didn't get near as big of a discount was on my 2014 Jeep SRT that I bought in 2013. The new refresh had just dropped so I managed $7500 off on that. I think...

The rule of thumb absolutely applies to the big 3. Ram, Ford, Chevy (GMC). There is zero science to it. It's just generally speaking, at any time per year, if you are getting offered anything less than $10k off you are over paying. Period. Get them during a good time and you can expect up to...

Thanks. I'm only interested in the fully loaded limited with air suspension, so I'm hoping to find a solution for that. I'll check out the forum

Interesting. I wonder if there as aftermarket fix if I opt not go for the offroad package. It would be nice to have that extra 1" on by default, especially if I put 33s on. I'm not a fan of the OEM (i like the 22s), and at 36 years old I'm not a fan of putting aftermarket wheels on trucks...

Thanks for the article! I still can't find out if the Limited actually comes with the lift. Everything I've read says it does, except for the Ram website. From my understanding, the air suspension models do not get the 1" lift. Can anyone confirm?

Hello all! I'm trying to decide which direction to go when I get my Ram (probably a few months into 2019). I still haven't seen a Limited with the offroad package. I was set on getting this, but I really like the design of the 22s better. I"m starting to lean towards spec'ng the Ram with the...

Timing is important. The issue there is I don't know how to predict when the good times are. I noticed the dealer that had $15k off on 19s now has very modest discounts listed. I just keep an eye on the internet prices of a few local dealers and once I see them advertising pretty aggressive...
