Thanks for this.
I have gone through the configuration 'build/buy' numerous times and have learned that some options cancel or add others..... It's been a learning experience.
I thought the 10Y anniversary package might be different and unique enough to get, but it forces me to select the 5.7 E-torque or Deisel, and delete the 22" wheels that come with the Night package. I want neither of those engines, and I like the 22" wheels that come with the Night package - so no 10Y anniversary package for me.
I also learned you need the 5.7' bed to get Ram-Boxes. They are not available with 6.4' bed.
I think I have selected pretty much every option I can select, and have sent that to a couple of dealers in the southern part of the US (Mark Dodge/Gupton). Both responded quickly with very fair pricing quotes and terms. 14-20 week ETA from both, with disclaimers that delivery times are fluid under today's supply chain environment and it may show up sooner or later than their ETA. Gupton is a bit more convenient than MD, as I was planning to spend a few days wandering around Kentucky/Tennesey this year anyway (never been). I know MD appears to be the favorite dealer on this site, but it's also another day's drive for me.
To the guys suggesting I wait for the next model revisions, thanks, but I'm not interested in being a test pilot for new revs anymore. And, as I mentioned at the onset, I'm on a 3-4 year cycle. My current Ram has about 50,000 miles on it, and it's on the 4th year. It's time for the next truck. This is something I've been doing for 30 years. I buy a new truck, sell my existing truck, pay off the new truck, or finance a small amount for a few months. I always have a warranty, no payments, don't have to worry about maintenance costs, and I get to have some fun with a new vehicle. It may not work for everyone, but it works for me. I have plenty of other vehicles to tinker and waste money on.
