Ram 1500 orders - Tell Us About Yours!

Here's my story from today's visit to a rural Ram dealership. They have the vehicle I want. 2025 Ram 1500 Tungsten, Forged Blue Metallic, Towing Technology Group, Trailer-Tow Group, Off-Road Group, and Chrome Power-Fold Trailer Tow Mirrors. The MSRP is $93,145. Finding a Forged Blue Metallic has been challenging. They were willing to sell it for $82,995, which I felt was a little high. However, we reached an agreement on my trade as I negotiated up an additional $1K and then $1,500. The extra $500 though however was short-lived, as they magically tacked on $500 for VIN etching and leather protection, which I do not want and will not pay for. They stated their dealership charges this for every customer. I let them know I am not every customer, and I left, because having the power to walk away is powerful and freeing, as I tend to believe many people once they reach this far in the process will agree to almost anything. I was there for almost 2 hours. A lot of back and forth. A lot of waiting. Any suggestions on where I can find a similarly equipped vehicle nationwide? And price I should expect to pay?

While this dealer did not remove the "necessary" but unnecessary VIN etching and leather protection, which tacked on an additional $500.00, they were able "find" another $1000.00 discount for me through their dealership, which showed me that they wanted to sell this vehicle. And so, I am going to pick it up today. Very excited, as I had missed my 2019 Ram 1500 Limited. The air ride suspension and interior cabin (at that time) were like no other, and I feel good that I will have that again with this truck.

I’m happy you found something you like. I didn’t find anything else that I want. I’ll give it some time and see what happens.
