Title says it all.

I am on night shift the next 4 nights, and need to decide if I want to lose a morning of sleep to get a truck, or wait till friday/saturday.

Any speculation or insight on what march incentives will be?

That's a great question. I was in your shoes on Friday and I pulled the trigger on Saturday. I was doing a factory order so I wasn't getting anything being pushed off the lots but I figured February peeing a short month with less days to sell and right after the Presidents day sales ended I ended up getting 3750 in rebates on a factory order. Good luck always wondered what March would bring however if you really want to get the deals you would have to wait till the end of March and I didn't feel like waiting around another month. Good luck let me know how it goes

I've found dealers are usually more likely to deal at the tail end of the month. I ordered this last truck as well so it didn't make much difference. That said the truck came in on the last day of the month and they were hot to get me in to pick it up. I told them I wasn't going to leave work early and they ended up staying late to get the deal processed.

I don’t think it will hurt you waiting until March. It may or may not be better but I doubt it will be worse. Who knows though. Either way I don’t think it is going to be significant enough to base a decision off of. The most important thing is to find the right truck in the right config and the right dealer who will work with you on price. Then whatever the incentive is when all that other stuff is naked down, so be it. Then you enjoy your purchase. Whether it’s $1k more or a $1k less. My two cents.

...End of the month for dealers is ALWAYS the best time for deals! The pressure they put on the sales team is unbearable. ...End of year is even worse!! I bought my Limited in December just before the Christmas holiday. Though the deals on the Classics were crazier (for obvious reasons), I feel like I got a pretty good deal on my '19 Limited. Don't hold out 'til December. If so, you may as well get the '20!

I don't think the dealers know what incentives will be available in March till they are notified on the first or second of March themselves.

Was just on Ram's site and it looks like they've extended most of this month's incentives until 4/1. My guess is to match Chevy extending their truck month to 4/1.

End of March = end of month AND end of quarter.

Where do you see that? I don't see any on the Limited model that were there as of yesterday? I only see a financing special.

If you go to the incentives page, then click on Total Value. You'll see this:

Yes that is for the big horn.. If you search rebates by model (Limited) it doesn't show any. There isn't any total value to click on etc..
Actually, I'm not seeing anything loaded for any model other than that one.
