Sitting on the plane waiting to leave Houston for Lake Charles where Charles is picking me up. All in all, flying (at least form Birmingham) is no big deal.

Has anyone tried swapping wheels when building with Mark Dodge?
I am wanting a Laramie Night Edition but don't really care for the 22's. I asked Renae and she basically said once the truck is ordered then they will work with me to see what the parts dept may be able to order and they can order for me. I was thinking more along the lines of a "swap". I am wanting the 20" black wheels that the Big Horn NE comes with.
Anyone else check into something like this?
One more question from this newb (sorry for the dumb questions)....
Is the 2" Mopar lift no longer available for 2022's at dealerships?

For what it's worth, I inquired with MD about getting the Rebel Night Edition wheels on my (non Night Edition) Rebel and was told it would be about $2,000 to do it. Seems ludicrous and that point I may as well go aftermarket.

I just asked about adding some Mopar accessories and if they offered a discount like the online Mopar store and if the gave a discount also including free install? I did read on here somewhere that the did.
I would think I would get a answer tomorrow sometime. I can install everything but the mud guards because you need a rivet gun for plastic rivets.

I asked for quotes on prices for parts and they quoted full price and the markup on labor was stupid.
They wanted $100 to install 4 mud flaps (not including the part)
$150 to install a bed cover
$500 to install a Borla exhaust like seriously $500 for an exhaust install?

Sorry I was off.
This is the exact quote in an email I have
The deflectors $140 , tonneau cover $140, front and rear splash guards $140, and exhaust system $560 plus tax on each.
Complete crap. I guess buy the truck and not a single thing more from MD for some reason.
I think we can agree MD offers outstanding Sales and killer deals on custom, new vehicle sales. But when it comes to dealer-installed parts and labor keep your expectations in check. They offer dealership prices for those services.

Charging more for install of windows deflectors in laybor then they cost msrp?
That's not making a profit that's theft.
You make it sound like they lose money by selling trucks, they sell so much in volume they make a ton of cash.
Deflectors
$101 https://store.mopar.com/oem-parts/mopar-side-window-air-deflectors-crew-cab-82215478
Labor to install $140.
You don't need to give scumbag pricing to make a profit.

If thats the case it will be a hard pass, i will install myself and buy the tool needed. But if you dont ask you dont know, believe me they are not selling the trucks for free or at cost, being the largest ram deal in the US they get the trucks well below the cost of other dealers. THATS WHY other dealer when given MD price quotes they run for the hills. Of course they still need to make profit all companies do. If they sell Chargers at these great price i will be buying a Hellcat in a few years also.
I work frinking hard for my money and no one needs to tell me just pay up. And I know that did not come from you darksteel, and thanks for letting me know what they quoted you!
Give it a rest. They sell cars and trucks. Expecting exhaust shop prices from a dealer is a little ambitious.
I understand what's your saying. And I'm not trying to be insulting. But anything that they do will charge labour. And this is most if not all dealers. Labor rates are ridiculous. Better to go to 3rd party.

Ok everyone chill, this whole thing is about sharing info, thats all. It dont hurt anyone to ask the sales person any questions! Lol
Some dont care about paying full price and do, I watch and look for deals, some dont. That why i am buying and spending 65k at MD. I love a great deal. Saving about 11k before these price hikes. About 15k after. Thank god for md!

Moverjet logistics was the best price I could find. Everyone else was twice that or more
