    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Hmm that’s nice. You’re right, this is a forum for knowledge, exchange of ideas and decorum which you have none of the later. As such, I also didn’t join this board to be spammed by Auto Dealers crowing and trying to sell me. This is not the place for that in my opinion.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Your too young to know or remember. But people often traveled to Oregon to avoid sales tax. Some of my family members did and it wasn’t based on residency back then. That’s all changed. We’re not talking about sales tax anyway, it’s all about the “deal” - final selling price before ad-on’s...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Yes, Stellantis overinflated ,,MSRP’s FAR more than other manufacturers as I have mentioned in a prior post and they have started to reduce them in Canada and coming soon to a dealer near you!

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    And to further expand, there are dealers in Idaho that like you claim to be the “biggest RAM” dealers in the US. I almost bought a truck there a couple of years back because it was a short flight from Northern Ca. UNTIL I found their “Doc fees” were close to $1000 (in Ca there are set at $85...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Glad you’re the biggest dealer around and claim orders are a deep discount. If that’s the case, you are the first dealer I’ve ever heard of that does this and I have bought more new cars and trucks than the average Joe. So explained in detail to all the good people on this board exactly what...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Correct. If you order you get exactly what you want. BUT,,,, if you want the “best deal”you MUST buy from dealer inventory. There are nuances at the dealer level which are too many to mention here, however once a vehicle sits on the lot many incentives you see are for aged inventory and can be...

    Remote start climate control 40 degree threshold ?????

    Thank you. I am now aware of how it’s “supposed” to work per the manual and and other observations. I am asking if anyone has had it work like the rest of the world in modern trucks. You know,,,, when you need and want it and not a pre-programmed parameter !

    Remote start climate control 40 degree threshold ?????

    It’s been driving me nuts as it’s only worked once for me and now I know why after thinking this feature is broken. I just found out by mistake that my climate control only works on remote start when ambient temps are 40 degrees or below. This is the first thing I’ve had to complain about on...

    Bilstein 5100 Ride Quality

    It’s like getting them installed all over again. Springs need to be removed because the clips are what holds the spring perch in place. Just had mine installed on clip position 5 which makes the truck dead level.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    So you’ve been working in the retail sector since you were 9 years old? 😂😂😂 your profile says you’re 49. Now that’s some work ethic!

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I find it curious when people say “after xxx discount you’ll still make money” ?! Being in sales all my life I would like to say that “profit” is not a bad word. It makes the world go round, people feed their families, etc. Trust me when I say I am no fan of some car dealers and the process...

    5100 Leveling Bighorn BTS

    Hi there. I just had 5100’s installed on my 2024 Laramie 6.4 bed. The shock body has 7 grooves. I put the clip on the 5th groove which according to Bilstein is 1.7” over stock. Ride height is perfect in my opinion. I also had 5100 on my previous F150. They are excellent shock with digressive...

    Motor oil and the Hemi tic.

    Thanks. I didn’t know they started 0w20 in 2022 since the truck was redesigned for model year 2019. Good to know. I’ll still follow OEM suggestions.

    Motor oil and the Hemi tic.

    As you mentioned, many opinions on this topic. I would love to hear from any 5th gen HEMI owners that have used the 0-20 oil its whole life and have well over 100k miles on the clock. What would they say? Any engine problems? I have 5,300 miles on mine and plan on changing oil for the first...

    Horrible First Impressions - Huge Fail

    As a newbie here, I came do learn about my truck and share ideas, get advice and or generally engage with like-minded gear heads. I’m 62 and have been around cars, trucks, bikes for a long -long time. Wanted to get that out of the way. While this member y’all are talking about may have...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Not really apples and oranges compassions as you mention with all the dealer ad-ons. Those you choose (or not). If they force it just walk. I believe this exercise was “what did you pay off MSRP” which is the starting point for most buyers. Invoice and all just convolutes the matter as you’ll...

    MOPAR power running boards

    Hi there, I have a ‘24 Laramie and getting them installed at my local dealer next week. I have had AMP boards on two f150’s with zero problems but gladly went with RAM boards for a couple of reasons. 1) AMP boards power operate via a plug that connects to the OBD port 2) the Mopar boards...

    Mopar 2" Lift...am i dumb??

    I know I’m late to this party. I have had Bilstein 5100 on a 2021 f150 and it accomplished my goal. Near level stance and reduced a heavy nose dive on braking. Ride was a “tad” firmer by I would call it more compliant and confident. About ready to do the same on my 2024 Laramie just for...

    Input on AT tires

    In all three brands I listed, I ran 275/70/18 as I believe no truck has any business running 20 Or 22’s in my humble opinion. All were load range E as I tow a large boat about 5-10 times per year. No problem with ride quality. Although mpg is important to most of us, it’s a truck with a v-8...

    Input on AT tires

    Hey there. I’ve had experience with three brands on your list. (1) Open country AT3: Bought them on good reviews and loved the way they looked. Absolutely Dangerous IN THE RAIN!!! Had them on an f150 with 2.7 EcoBoost. Would spin the tires with light throttle from a stop. Freeway on...
