Anyone have Aaron ship theirs to the Houston airport and fly in there? I think they have free delivery up to 200 Miles, and flying into Houston is direct and would save a ton of time.
That what my sales guy was going to do. Until I change it to being shipped. He'd pick you up at the airport with the truck and show you some things. Then your off on your way.

In my region it is $1750 or 0% for 72 plus $500. Go to ramtrucks.com and go to incentives under shopping tools.

FWIW>>>> The Ram site has partial info, not all you may qualify for. I'd recommend anyone buying call them first. I called FCA yesterday and they found several additional I have never seen mentioned here or elsewhere. I got lucky and had a very good rep on the other end.

Anyone know the payload hit in getting the advanced safety group on a Limited?

I have ASG, my payload is 1375-1395, I forget which one.
its only a few sensors, programing and a camera, maybe 10lbs of parts

Con, heavier truck, harder to park
Pro, more bed space, Its 9" bigger, I cant really do anything with an additional 9 inches other than get yelled at for accidentally bumping into people

lol that is what I figured. For me it is the fishing gear but I am probably going to have to keep that in the cabin due to $$$

Yeah the 6'6" rods fit diagonally. The 7+ footers not so much. Get a tonneau to keep the prying eyes out. Never leave mine in overnight. Too much money for Legend Elites and Tatulas.

Why I'm going with the 6'4" and a quad. Rarely have more than one passenger and wanted the bed space and shorter still wheelbase. Look at them on the lot. Quad - Crew 5 7- Crew 6 4. Big differences. You can look up exact specs for turning radius and payload somewhere on the RAM site. One plus missed so far is smoother ride for the longer wheelbases. It's a truck so I can deal with it riding a little like a truck. Way better than the trucks at work for the past 30 years.

Ordered!

Limited in Delmonico Red, Indigo/frost, BUG, engine block heater. No other options.

MSRP $62,985. Price before incentives: $55,876 (invoice-holdback)

0% for 72 plus $500 sold order protected. I will have the $1000 PenFed and do the Bonus Drive $250 again.

Trade (see sig) guaranteed at minimum $47,650. Could go up depending on market. Paid $43,500 in Sept for it new.

Pretty pleased.

6'4" bed all the way. It looks better because it is more proportionate to the crew cab. More useful for doing what a truck is supposed to do because the smaller 5'7" bed even though it is only 9" always falls short. No issue parking for me because I always park away from the crowded parking lots no matter if its my truck or my Vette, or even the wifes Honda Odyssey, there are too many careless people slinging doors into other doors and fenders etc! . Even before I started parking further out I had no issue parking my F250 in tight parking lots. I just backed in.

6'4" bed for me, too, bu that's because I pull horses and want the ability to use a gooseneck trailer as well as a bumper pull. The 5'7" just has way too big of a chance of smashing the back window on turns.

I still can without it being bought by the business provided I have another vehicle to drive for personal use which I do, that's the only difference. If it were a business bought vehicle, Id have the same restriction.
Being that I'm self employed and technically always working I use my truck as I want so that's really no impact for me.
Thanks for the information, just since there are some variables (my partner has her own car, and I have a classic car that is registered year round but is in the garage for 6 months) I ended up emailing our accountant to ask his opinion for our particular situation. Appreciate you guys bringing that up though, the commercial insurance would be a nice increase over my regular insurance, so if we could write off the same things without going that route that would be ideal.

Just to circle back to this, my accountant confirmed we can write off what we need to while keeping the vehicle under my name. So thank you for this again, you saved me a good chunk of money!
