I remember the days there were numerous updates to this thread a day.
Now it gets updated weekly.
My how the times have changed.

Gone are the days when all you had to look over your shoulder for was the salesman and his manager. Now you also have to keep an eye on your wallet as the banker’s cut has gone significantly larger with rates above 6%…. Today’s buyer has to cut a heck of a deal on the truck but also pull off a miraculous feat if financing the deal.

Man, You Tube is full of “the sky is falling” copycat videos on the big 3 truck sales. While I dont care for the ridiculous prices of the 24’s and 25’s, I don't think dealerships will be going bankrupt like the YTbers are saying.

Recently one Ford dealer down in Florida just shut down however that seems to be rare. I do see a lot of inventory on the local Ford and Ram lots, not so much the GMC or Chevy dealer lot.

gm shuts the ft Wayne truck assembly plant down every time inventory gets a little out of hand on 1500's. I am about 60 miles from there.

One of my favorite videos was one that insinuated, quite intensley, that Stellantis was going bankrupt and needed government intervention.
Dealers won't go out of business, they will get bought up by the big conglomerates that are already doing so. Soon you'll have to clarify when you say "big three" do you mean the manufacturers or the retailer supergroups. But anyway, bad news sells papers - or clicks - so the unfounded stories will keep flowing. As I always have to clarify - I'm not saying Stellantis is perfect or that business is exactly where we want it to be - but this is no where close to the level of fire and brimstone you hear on these fancy videos.

Here's one of two in stock limited 2024 1500's my local RAM dealer has on his website. Doesn't look like very aggressive pricing to me. Must not be hurting...
They don't have a single 2025 on their lot and the 2 TRX's are at MSRP. (At least no markups).
