Options Price Increase

[ericd]

I just noticed a pretty big price jump in the sunroof and 22" wheels. The wheels are up to $2100 Are there any other items that have jumped recently?

I'm pretty sure those have been that way for at least a month or two. I think the Level 1 started lower too.

Dang! Now I got some equity in those wheels and sunroof!

Pano sunroof $1295
22" wheels $1695
Level 1 grp cost me $3595! -yours shows $2995 I got power running boards, 12" screen though.

I traded a 2016 F150 and the F150 King Ranch / Platnium seemed to be about $4-5K more for about same equip levels.

Well my pricing was on a Limited, not a Laramie Longhorn. 12" screen and power running boards came in the Limited Package..

Make it confusing. Just like appliances, 3 manufactures make GE, Whirlpool, Amana, Maytag, Kenmore, Estate, Mr. Roper, Samsung, Ikea...

I wonder what prompted the increases. Those are pretty significant

Production whoas, cost increases, delays, lower profitability, etc... who knows. Greed? lol

Is that like a production slowdown?

 

[Ickabod]

I just priced the 22" wheels at the dealer, they wanted $3,900 just for the wheels, no tires. Ugh!

Frankly I think its more of a managerial issue... seems no one at Ram/FCA knows what's going on or what to tell people... I'm sure they've had to hire new management, PR, and marketing people to attempt to spin things in a "positive" light...

Wife and I just want our truck... As of Sunday night it was still sitting in Alliance Railyard waiting on local transport to the dealership...

Yeah that is to be expected... watch ebay/facebook groups/etc... I've seen lots of people selling their factory rims with tires for about $1500...

Sorry meant that as a joke. Woes are issues, whoas mean slow the horses down...

Oh I know... not irritated with you... we're all irritated with Ram/FCA...

Price increases to be able to have higher rebates.......

Literally going back and forth with the dealer right now finalizing my order. I added the Limited Level 1 package this morning after hearing the stereo difference between the Alpine and HK and got the build sheet updated about an hour ago. It listed the Level 1 at $2,795. I luckily realized that the order inadvertently had the Tow Package added (which I don't want) instead of the Trailer Tow Brake (which I do). Dealer (who has actually been great) redid the build sheet and all of the sudden the package goes to $2,995 so I email him. He said he got a call 20 minutes ago from his Ram rep saying the price increased due to demand.

 

[Kaz]

doesn't shock me... you're unfortunately at the mercy of pricing at time of order... once its locked you're better off... if it continues to go up you're protected... if it goes down, well you could work that to your advantage too!

Kinda sucks I am being penalized $200 for an entry error.

I went to the dealer 2/6/2019 to price out a 1500 Limited and the Base Price increased from $56,595 to $56740 (+$145). Also, the 5.7L Hemi increased from $1,195 to $1,395 (+$200). The Build a Ram web site does not reflect these price increases yet.
