    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I visited many dealers over 15 mainly Chrysler/Ram learning the ins and outs of car selling!!! I was told for factory orders any rebates you receive will be applied on day of delivery not on day order is placed. Maybe in the past this was different or polices changed due to the pandemic. For...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    After researching for 2 years and receiving the highest quote for $62,000 without tax and w/o all the options I needed, I settled for $54,532 with invoice pricing, 0% Chrysler capital financing, with $4750 in manufacture rebates on a factory order that arrived memorial day weekend.

    Hello... '22 Ridgeline owner here looking at Ram 1500

    That's good, I went with the Level 2 group and 8.4 uconnect not the IPad 12 inch size. I couldn't make up my mind for 5 or 6 seats but wanted black interior, and fabric seats I don't like leather because I keep my vehicles till they die, I put Roughcountry seatcovers, weather tech bug deflector...

    Hello... '22 Ridgeline owner here looking at Ram 1500

    So it seems there is a bad batch of radios and a huge disconnect between u-connect and Ram, and no one wants to admit fault and it becomes the customer problem which is sad. You have found the answer! One has to get lucky to find a good radio after many tries and trips to the dealer (bad...

    Hello... '22 Ridgeline owner here looking at Ram 1500

    Many great points! Next question will be V6 or V8?.... V8 requires 89 octane$$. I chose the V6 bc I'm about fuel savings/ gas mielage, but I have a pedal commander. Many good people on here with a lot of knowledge and will answer any questions you have! You want invoice pricing as well with...

    V6 or V8

    I just retired one of my Saturn's (2002 black) of 19 years when I got my Ram so I'm all about fuel mileage, my 97 gold Saturn now gets 33/41 mpg, I changed the fifth gear in the trans. I went V6, bc I rarely tow, didn't want the hemi tick, poor gas mielage, and have to use 89 octane bc its not a...

    Lighting Upgrade Project

    Did the same, both fog and headlights fitted with lastfit bulbs. Replaced front chrome headlights with night edition halogen assemblies (amazon) and rear halogen taillight assemblies replaced with led assemblies (ebay) programed with alfa-obd2.

    Hello... '22 Ridgeline owner here looking at Ram 1500

    Just came back from the Chicago Auto Show and sat in a Ridgeline, back seat too small and interior looks cheap/plain. I use to be in automotive 15 years ago as a technician and always wanted a Ram, age 40 my first new vehicle... A Ram, you will not be disappointed!

    Not a fan of the Al rear doors...

    My reason for getting running boards that stick out. And I still park in the back!

    Air conditioning performance

    I feel the ac system is a fatal design flaw with Ram and they dropped the ball because it lacks performance, too many people complain. People with the sliding moon roof suffer more because the roof acts as a heat sink on the glass and makes the problem worse. Like trying to kill ants with a...

    truck bed storage options

    It's great, from the research I did it's better than their previous models, a few cons though, 1. Can freeze in cold snow weather. 2. Can hear rattling on aluminum slides with the rear sliding window open on bumps. 3. Rear tracks could have been trimmed as they have sharp corners, I took a...

    Rust

    If you live in the rust belt area, Detroit, Chicago, Wisconsin area, ect... PLEASE spend the extra money and undercoat your RAM when purchased new!! I love rams, 20 years ago the body would rust bad and engine and trans would last forever, but now surface rust on brand new vehicles is crazy and...
