Depends on your usage. When I tow through the desert, it isn’t uncommon to have a headwind that kills mileage. The extra capacities will let me bypass all those super expensive gas stations in the tiny towns along the way.
I drove my range down to zero on my last few trucks and still was at least 3 gallons from being empty. Seems like a pretty good reserve. I’m guessing enough for at least 50 miles.

Always makes me think of this episode
That’s surprising. My last three trucks I never was able to put more than 30 gallons in when run down that far. Maybe the sensor is set a bit different on some trucks. My 4th gens range would disappear before getting to zero so I just had to estimate after that. I know some people with 4th gens seemed to have the 26 gallon tank sensor. They had trucks showing low fuel with plenty left in the tank with a range showing for 26 gallons instead of the 32 gallons they had back then.
That’s exactly why they get away with markups - because people are willing to pay for convenience. You have to make the decision whether you’re willing to go along with it.
I have been playing the waiting game. So far it hasn't been working. In the end, I definitely won't be paying a markup or even msrp for that matter. Once I give up on the waiting, I'll most likely be ordering from Koons. It's about a 4.5 hr drive for me. If I was smarter, I would have ordered it already.
not too late to correct that mistake!
My experience is you can find a dealer who will do invoice relatively easily but even that is usually a pain in the *** and tons of games. There are very few dealers doing under invoice in the market and you can either put in a bunch of work to try to find one in your state that does, in order to avoid out of state purchase, or just order from one a the few great dealers who we all know about. If you already found one optioned the way you want decide if you are willing to pay invoice for the convenience. This means you are paying +/- 4% more than ordering from MD et all which will equate to a few grand depending on your build. If you are willing to pay invoice its possible you just have to go in and deal with a few hours of BS. There are a good amount of dealers that won't come off MSRP if its a rare build, but invoice is an OK deal for an in stock unit right now.
I would be ok paying invoice. But last time I was at the dealer, in August, no dealer near me would even entertain much negotiating off MSRP. One dealer said $5k over msrp on every Ram. When I told him that wouldn't work for me, it was basically have a nice day. Another dealer had a demo model with 5500 miles on it that they said they would sell me for full sticker price. They told me they typically add a $2500 market adjustment but since it was being used by the owners son, they would give it to me for msrp. It's almost comical what's going on. The $5k over dealer, did say they would wave the $5k adjustment for leases, which I'm not interested in.
Chapman in Horsham PA will do 3% under invoice for Ram 1500 orders. They didn't do it when I bought my Ram, so I went to Mark Dodge. I am taking delivery of a 22 Explorer ST for my wife next week from them and that was 3% under invoice too.

I tried driveway and carvana, and both were not giving me much. My truck is high mileage, but still looks good. Dealership was actually offering me more for trade in, and also if I trade in I also save some money in taxes. The dealer closest to me, wouldn't budge off msrp on truck, but they were actually giving me more than fair trade in value. Almost made me pull the trigger but the truck wasn't exactly what I was looking for.
