I picked up a 2019 Limited 4x4 5’7 last night. This forum has been a fun read as I was truck shopping.

I am incredibly impressed with the new Ram. I have owned a lot of vehicles—mostly fun-to-drive or practical imports (‘15 BMW 528, ‘12 BMW 335, ‘10 Toyota Tundra, ‘08 Acura MDX, ‘05 Volvo V70r, ‘87 Porsche 911, ‘85 Toyota Landcruiser, ‘95 Toyota pickup), so this is my first domestic and first real truck (sorry Toyota!).

My wife has the horse bug, so we wanted something that could tow the horses on the weekend and be my daily driver. I shopped all the truck brands and was ready to buy F150, until I drove the new Ram. This truck blows the others out of the water!

I bought Silver, 3.92 axle, 33 gallon tank, pano moonroof, 20” wheels. Not quite what I would have ordered, but darn close and dealer had it on the lot and the price was right! ($10,410 below sticker including rebates).

Congrats for sure. Where are the pics? I have talked to three dealers out here and i have told them about the deals everyone is posting and they are saying BS. 2019s are flying off the lots, why would they deal? and in this case a discount below EP.

Congrats! It’s beautiful. I am curious, too, which dealer? I’m buying out of state.

I bought at Smolich Ram in Bend, Oregon. I had a quote from Dennis Dillon for a build, and they got close enough to the Dillon price that it didn't make sense to hassle with traveling to Boise. It was quite a negotiation and they weren't happy with me, but they wanted a sale. Because I had been intending to order, I wasn't in a rush and was prepared to walk. The power of NO really does help in price negotiations.

I filled that 33 gal gas tank yesterday. It's more accurate than the 2014 I traded. You pulling horses that tank will help. What's neat is when you fill it up you don't have to worry about a lot of change for your pocket after paying with a $100.00 bill

Ah,that makes sense. I’ll be making the trip to Boise, but it will be an adventure with my son. Congrats again on the new truck.

I bought a new Jeep Cherokee from Smolich last year. I thought they were a fair dealer. Congrats on the new Ram!!
