Somebody posted and seriously wanted to be able to find a 19' Longhorn for $46K, the only thing I've seen so far is a 19' at an Idaho dealer, it's $49K, and actually hits that $46K number with the "additional qualifying rebates"... No idea if it's still available, just info for you potential buyers.
They have the window sticker posted, it's pretty well equipped with tow group, 3.92, anti-spin, pano sunroof, 33 gallon tank etc.
Many of the Id trucks are equipped with the tow group... so watch out for that if you want power folding mirrors.
New 2019 RAM All-New 1500 Longhorn

NEW 2019 RAM 1500 LARAMIE LONGHORN CREW CAB 4X4 5'7" BOX
VIN: 1C6SRFKT6KN516482 STOCK #: 4K0070
  • Engine: Regular Unleaded V-8 5.7 L/345
  • Trans: 8-Speed Automatic 8HP75 Transmission
  • Drivetrain: 4x4
  • Exterior: Rugged Brown Pearl-Coat Exterior Paint
  • HWY: 21 MPG | CITY: 15 MPG †
MSRP $61,505
CHRYSLER FINANCING DISCOUNT $2,000
GUARANTEED PRICE $49,748
ADDITIONAL QUALIFYING REBATES $46,748
These deals are that hard to come by. You need a good volume dealer and you need to shop at the right time like end of quarter when they need to push volume to make their targets.
I bought my 19 ram sport end of Feb when there was a snow storm lol. Dealership was empty. Imagine the motivation to sell. Paid 46k and sticker was 62k I believe. Btw this was in Canada toronto.

Can't decide between this truck for $53,500 OTD

or this used 2019 with 22k miles on it, dealer wont come more than 1k off the price.


I’ll take the longhorn any day... that’s just me though. I love the longhorn style

White Laramie is my pick. It's very very similar to my 19 sport. It's new so that's a plus. Why spend so much if its not new?

If you'd not mind, mention where the truck went. Thanks for the already posted info, might help someone.

On the various tow threads recently, posters have been wondering if their (usually 1500) will be a satisfactory tow vehicle. This may be kind of apples to oranges due to you having gone from a 2500 to a 3500 but the reasons you felt “I needed more truck” could help someone else decide.
It would be a bit of work explaining the weights and all but if you’d care to, I’d think it would be appreciated.

I hope you get or found a 3500 that works for your setup.

Well black Friday is coming up, plus the 2020s trucks are coming in so there should be more drops for the 2019s. Year end is always a good time to buy off the lot where you get those clearance sales but inventory gets limited as dealer stop ordering current year models.

No one has had good Black Friday deals the past couple years but with two new trucks out this year? Let’s see if they get wild again.

I’m still considering trading mine in at a huge loss if they are ~30% off again and I can find the elusive patriot blue.

Do you think there will be more incentives showing up for the 2020's by Nov/Dec, every dealer I've asked has said things have slowed down a ton.

Probably not so early since the 2019s and 2020s are pretty much the same. Maybe someone else can comment on this. I think normally the discounts are biggest starts early summer.
Anyways if I was you, I would get a 2019 since they should be cheaper which saves some money for some mods and additions like tonneau cover, tires, wheels, etc.
Another things, interest rates are dropping right now so soon there might be 0% financing soon.

First I had a 2016 Ram 2500 with Coil springs and it towed my new 5th wheel fine however when I upgraded to the 2019 I went with Air Ride suspension as we all know 5th wheel was too much weight for the bags, which now have been replaced. Now I have a new 3500 with Springs and bags and payload doubled to the 4000 instead of 1800. My loss on truck and even dealer said even though I loss and they gave me $73k of the $78 that I bought it for they said they will be asking $73 and would let it go for $71k. It’s been well taken care of, very clean, $400 Ceramic 20% window tint all the way around it. Let me know if your interested or if anyone is interested and I can get you in contact with a Dealership.

Nice looking truck.

I had not thought about the stock RAM airbags not being able to properly hold the pin weight. I'm familiar with aftermarket bags (Ride Rite and Loadlifter 5,000) that are rated higher, and would have thought RAM would have upgraded the stock bags to reflect what a 2500 might have to haul/carry.

I imagine the ruck camper crowd may not be very happy with their air ride 2500's either, as some of those newer multi-slide 10-11' truck campers weigh north of 4K pounds. (The new Lance 1062 (10') has a dry weight of 3613# and the 1172, almost a 12' model has a dry weight of 4174#).
That's a dry weight, not loaded and without calculating for the occupants, fuels and extra items/options in the camper itself.

New buyer that bought early this month. Tacoma and a 7k trailer... even for the frequent but extremely short (250yds) trips to the ramp and back to dry storage was getting old. Plus kids car seats and Tacomas blow.

Test drove GM and Ford, but the Ram made it a rediculously easy decision and that was with a Laramie. Then I saw the pricing on the 2019s limited, went inside and SOLD, double sold if there was such a thing. MSRP including destination was $69,310, cash price $51,709. ~25.5% decrease!!! I’m still shocked. Feel like I stole the thing. 3k cheaper than my buddies lariat 3.5 EB and 3k cheaper than the mid grade trail boss I tested and IMO loads better inside and out. Especially the inside. To be fair, was greatly surprised how well the new Chevy drove, still not quite as well as the Ram, but still impressive.

Just glad I tested them all out. I read the rags monthly and they always tout the ram since 2011 switch to coils in the rear. Always tell my buddies to test them and they come back with fords mostly (they never make it to the ram dealership)... Texas boys for you. Haven’t owned FCA since my 1998 Durango 360, they’ve come along way and glad to be back in the full size arena.

I just bought a 2019 Limited 4X4 Limited with 6k miles. Silver with Indigo/frost interior (don’t care what anyone says, I think it’s amazing looking) Came with the Pano sunroof and bed cover as well. $47,900 plus Transport, tax, Tag, title came to $52 ish. Also I got 1.89% financing. I think I got a pretty good deal.

Call Dave Smith in Idaho.
Absolutely worth the trip. Best dealer I’ve ever worked with.

Yep - that's what I've got - silver w/ indigo/frost. It's a really nice color combo. I got my windows tinted, and it looks even better IMHO :D

Enjoy your new ride!
