First off I have to say I love this forum. The community of ram owners are great and I enjoy reading all the input.
I have attempted to order a new Laramie through a local dealer. In the process I wanted the following, v8 mds vvt, 3.21, 33 gal, level one group, off road group, sport appearance, other minor items...
At the dealership it kept defaulting to force me to order the 12" screen for another 2k. We tried all sorts of variations but it all came back to requiring me to order the larger screen. I walked away and contacted Reid Bigland (found his email address online) who, if I remember, is CEO of Ram North America and voiced my opinion about how the build online for consumers allows me to do this exact build but not at the dealership. He passed me onto a member of his team who took a special interest in this build. After two plus weeks and good follow up (Mike MacDonald did a great job) the answer came back the same. Can't get the regular screen in Level One...only the 12". I have yet to get an answer on how long this will be in effect. To say this is a bummer when I have been waiting all year to do this is putting it mildly. I can only hope that it corrects itself by the 2020 builds. By the way...how can anyone not order a truck without the 33 gal. tank. It is a cheap upgrade and gives so much in return!
