    It's finally here!

    Thanks! I can’t wait to get to the barn and hook up the trailer to see how it tows.

    It's finally here!

    Ordered on 4/16, arrived at dealership on 7/23, finally delivered to me today. The streets in my neighborhood are too small to fit a car transport, so we had to unload in the median of Laurel Canyon Blvd Next: a good wash and detail.

    Mine still isn't here, but today is supposed to be the delivery date! 4.5months since ordering, and 1 month to the day since it arrived at the dealership.

    Maybe Phillip was overstating in his promise to arrange shipping, then. Oh well. It's all arranged now. Truck was picked up yesterday and will be here on Monday.

    What was your interest rate when you financed your new ram?

    I lost my $1000 Pen Fed rebate in order to keep the 0% / 72 that was locked in when I placed my order in April. But I paid $11k under MSRP and $4k under invoice.

    Order Tracking

    It's not over yet. Now the shipping guy transferred me to a broker, who handed the shipping job to a driving company, who quoted a price, whose office then called and wanted $400 extra. I called the broker back and now they're chasing down the driver, etc. The dealership had promised to arrange...

    First tow 3.21 review

    I currently pull two horses with an Acura MDX, but I have a very lightweight European trailer (2,000 lbs and 140 tongue weight). But pulling away from a stop light is definitely a slow process. Edited to add: It's slow because I have horses in the back, not because the car is underpowered. I...

    First tow 3.21 review

    It's handy for pulling horses, where you're pulling heavy moving weight and spending quite a bit of time on surface streets. Like you said, 1st - 2nd gear stuff.

    Order Tracking

    Well, 4 months after ordering, my truck will be picked up at the dealership tomorrow and shipped to me in Los Angeles. It arrived at the dealership on 7/23, paperwork took a few days, then Chrysler Capital took 2 full weeks to fund the loan. Eventually, it took me blasting them on Twitter...

    Ram 1500 orders - Tell Us About Yours!

    I'm STILL waiting for mine, ordered 4/16. It arrived at Bud Clary on 7/23 and they sent paperwork on 7/26 (loan pre-approved). Paperwork had some issues and we argued a bit over the Pen Fed rebate. Finally worked it out and I sent amended paperwork back on 8/3. They won't release the truck for...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Shipping is about $1 per mile, and is generally far outweighed by the discounts available from dealers like Mark Dodge. I‘m also in SoCal, and I ordered from Bud Clary in WA. The price was thousands less than all the local dealers, who laughed when I asked if they could match the price.

    New here but HELP

    The same thing happened to me in my 2500 a few years ago. I thought it would just be a door replacement, but the frame was totally bent and it was totaled.

    2022 Toyota Tundra

    Well, they're a Japanese company, but they have factories in the US so they do employ a lot of US workers.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    That's the main problem. We were told that we could lock in some things at order, then at time of delivery, add any incentives available at that time. Apparently, that's no longer the case.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    The exact same thing happened to me this week. When I ordered I was told Pen Fed could be applied at time of delivery, so the dealer only locked in the 0% financing. Now I'm being told that their software won't allow them to add the Pen Fed rebate. They did promise that if I'm able to find a...

    APRIL 2021 Factory Order members

    So Bud Clary is saying that contrary to what Phillip promised, I can't add my Pen Fed rebate at time of purchase without losing the 0% financing that was locked in at time of order. Has anyone else experienced this? Phillip told me about Pen Fed when I ordered and said he'd lock in the...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I wonder why Phillip Olson specifically told me I could add the Pen Fed code at time of delivery? He told me the 0% was locked in, and the Pen Fed plus any other available incentives would be added at time of delivery.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Have you ever heard of dealers being unable to use the Pen Fed when 0% financing has been locked in? Bud Clary is claiming I can't used the Pen Fed if I use the financing rate that was locked in at my time of order.

    Ram Sells The Most Full Sized Pickups In Q2 2021!

    I think it just took longer to catch up with RAM because they had a bigger stockpile going into the shortage. I was planning on ordering a Ford, but the lengthy delay was one of the reasons I switched to RAM. Shortly after I ordered, RAM started dropping options from the lower trims, but Ford...

    Ram Sells The Most Full Sized Pickups In Q2 2021!

    Not a surprise that Ford is 3rd, given that the average order has been taking 6-8 months. Must be costing them a fortune.
