Hey guys! Just ordered my first truck ever yesterday after driving German SUV's for the last 20 years! Coming out of a Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid that I special ordered in 2012 whose odometer just crossed 200,000 miles. I've always been an admirer of Ram Trucks and the 5th Gens had me sold that I could make the switch from German cars and not look back! My future son-in-law bought a Big Horn back in 2021 and I was so impressed with how it drove, how roomy and functional the cab was, that I've been waiting for my Cayenne to give me a reason to say goodbye for a year. I just wanted to thank everyone here, this board has been a huge help in my research on the truck.
Got a sweet deal on the truck too, especially considering the current market. I have a dealer I've bought some Jeeps from before for my wife and kids who uses an affiliate program available through a group called Tread Lightly. That allowed me to pay 1% under dealer invoice, plus a $1000 rebate, and 0% for 48 months for just a $100 donation to Tread Lightly. Now, as Tom Petty would say, "The waiting is the hardest part" and it will be interesting to see how long it takes. My dealer, who is super honest (yeah I know a few of you just spit out your beers) and has always been right on with delivery estimates on my previous special orders said 3 to 4 months (and they do 30-40 special order trucks a month). I'm dealing with the owners son, not some idiot sales guy. Obviously, I've seen the longer wait times posted here, and I'll add my VIN to the list when I get it. Again, thanks for all the help!
