Atlantic Blue was never available on the 4th Gen or 5th Gen Rams. Ram (Dodge at that time) stopped offering that color in 2006. After Atlantic Blue (3rd Gens), came Electric Blue (3rd Gens), then Deep Water Blue (3rd and 4th Gens), then Blue Streak (4th and 5th Gens), and now Hydro Blue (5th Gens).

Edit: Ram offered a limited edition "Ceramic Blue" in 2015.

ah ok, dint realize it was that long ago...

i loved LOVED love that Ceramic Blue with all the black badging - My husband talked me out of that color and then next thing i knew ***poof*** it was gone : (

No worries! That Ceramic Blue was a nice color! I’m hoping the same doesn’t happen with the Ceramic Gray that Ram is offering in the limited edition Built-to-Serve trucks. Hopefully it won’t be just a one and done offering of the color, and they’ll eventually add it to their regular color line-up.

The Hydro Blue was first offered in 2018 on the 4th Gens as a limited edition package and now it’s one of their regular colors, so there’s hope the same will happen with Ceramic Gray.

I liked the 2019 Blue Streak better than the 2020 hydro blue. I had a Wrangler in hydro blue which I liked but the blue streak looked better on the trucks to me. Wish that was an option for 2020/2021

This forum has been great. A lot of info on this thread but worth the read. I've been looking for a 1500 for the past month and I've had similar experiences with FCA dealers being DB's. Refusing to answer basic questions. Slow to respond. Playing games. Absolutely no wiggle room on pricing, etc. I've been looking for a diesel Laramie since I commute 90 mi round trip on the highway. There doesn't seem to be many diesels out there but it looks like some dealers have stock and they're all black or white and have the exact same build and MSRP. I guess the factory was running a special on these and high volume dealers snagged them. Besides these, I haven't seen many other diesels. Almost like there's a hold on them and what's on the lots is it for a while.

Anyway, I found a dealer with the best price and they've been very responsive. It has what I'm looking for so I'm good with the options

2020 Larmie 4x4 white
Diesel
Level 1
20" wheels
Leather bucket seats, black. (I'd prefer indigo but that's a real unicorn)
12" Uconnect

$59,410 MSRP (includes $1695 destination fee)
$48,086 Dealer price, including $500 chrysler finance rebate plus $125 doc fee & $134 out of state titling company fee (3rd party files for out of state customers)

They're 2k less than anyone else @ $47,827 (without fees) so I'm at 20% off MSRP. It sounds like that's a decent deal in normal times, but it looks like they're giving a great price considering how hard it is to find what I want and the BS other dealers are giving. Only drawback is it's a 7 hour drive, but for $2k I'm good with it!

Just looking for some feedback before pulling the trigger.

Does the truck have the 33 gallon fuel tank? With your commute, I wouldn’t get a truck that didn’t have the larger tank...even with the diesel.

Nope, standard tank. I've got an 18.5 gallon tank in my Sonata that's averaging 29 mpg. From everything I've read I should get around the same MPG with this truck, especially with the 3.21 rear end, so I'll still be doing better! The 33 would be nice, but not a deal breaker for my needs

Nice! Glad to see that they're offering it on the other trims as well. And that price isn't bad considering the tech you're getting. It’s about $1,000 less than GMC’s comprable package on the Sierra.

That seems like a decent deal to me. I have very similar MSRP & discount on the truck I bought.

It’s definitely a decent price, especially for current times. I’d jump on it if the truck has everything you’re looking for!

When I picked up my Laramie today from Koons I had 4K in rebates. And was at the 20% under MsRP mark but that price is reflective of an order in March. I think the discount is less and handling is more when ordering now.

How'd you get 4k in rebates?
There's 4k in rebates right now?

His order is prob protected, meaning they will honor the rebates available at the time he ordered, or when delivery is taken. He gets to apply whichever rebates are better. My guess rebates in March better than now. Its also regional based on your home zip code.

Yep they definitely were better then. A Limited 4x4 was $4500 in TX back in April and has been $1500 since (May, June and now July).

I apologize, it was 3k in rebates. My order wasn’t protected so I’m not sure how they got to 3k. I’m happy with the deal overall.

I will say, Virginia’s doc fee has moved to 899 (they honored the 799 negotiated previously). Also, Koon’s percentage under MSRP has changed I think. Trucks are pumping out of the factory based on my local research and conversations with Craig.


Ordered while the sh*t was hitting the fan..Hydro-Blue Laramie Group 2, Air-suspension, Off-road, Sport, Uconnect 12, power running boards, dual panel moonroof.
