Built out a Laramie, ready to order and 1) FCA raised prices that are not reflected on the website and 2) Dealer said panoramic is on restriction for Laramie's as they will only be available in Limited and Longhorns from now on.

This is interesting if it turns out to be accurate. Wonder why the change on the pano? Must be an up sell technique or something.

Was dealer putting this order in as a "Pending Dealer Order" or a "Sold Order" under the order prioritization section? That seems to make a difference sometimes as to what they can order.

choose 5.7 non-etorque on a laramie, you still can get the sunroof

Trying out your strategy, however it's asking too much for the salesperson to call me back. Worst dealer experience since.... buying my Durango 4 years ago.

You might have to take the reigns and be pro-active in the contact. I visited two dealers and same thing; both seemed much less active compared to sales people on other FCA vehicles I bought. Ram 1500 sales for the past few months have been at or near all-time highs... so maybe they have a lot of customers to deal with.

This is a good thing though. I despise pushy sales people calling me out of the blue. When I need something, don't call me, I'll call you :geek:

I have the same bad feeling, but in order to get a truck I will use it for at least 3 years, I just insist to their sales manager, I need look over your shoulder to put my order

The pano sun roof is really nice - I ride with my shade open all the time and it lets in a lot of light. When it warms up, I will ride with it open a lot. My last vehicle did not have a sun roof and I missed it but now I have the big one and it is great.

I had a problem with an air leak and wind noise but the dealer fixed it and now it is great.

If you want a pano sun roof - figure out a way to get it

I tried to order a Laramie Sport with the off road package. They were able to add the pano sunroof but said they could not order the Laramie with the sport option or off road option.

Thank you!! Order placed yesterday. Non-etorque with pano. Dealer showed me FCA note about not offering pano in future Laramies.

I'm glad I ordered when I did, then. I wonder if it's a permanent change to trim level differentiation or a wind-down of parts inventory for 2019 models. We'll find out when the 2020 models come out.

Sometimes these are temporary restrictions due to balance supply & demand. Complete speculation on my part, but perhaps they may be experiencing more demand for pano’s than expected, and supply side response is not yet complete.

I ordered mine a month back - same - no sport no off road or even sane bumper colour.
Got etorque and pano though
Swapping hood out for a sport.

I'm curious how the FCA letter reads - anyone have a photo of that?
