Well, got her home today but it was too late for any good pictures, will be taking some tomorrow while I also install the tonneau cover. I'll post some if you guys want.


Thanks for all the support throughout this process, especially to @triple_B , @Eighty, and @bigdodge for answering all of my questions.

My neighbor paid $2K over sticker for a Big Horn that was on the lot a couple months ago. He walked at first when they wouldn’t budge on the price. Called them back 3 days later and paid it.

Looking at his truck is actually what got me on the Ram bandwagon…

Here's one for sale if some of you are tired of waiting. View attachment 114572View attachment 114573

Huh... Really. That is 1 way to totally call yourselfs out as one of the scummy dealerships. A.M.V. or Adjusted Market Value for a brand new truck of the previous model year. Yup. Uh huh.
"Well you see here, it cost $72k MSRP, but we were originally going to charge maybe $68k for it... But man, we just saw that opportunity to make even more money off you for no reason, so we adjusted the value to what we think it should be. BTW, please don't tell Stellantis we're doing this."

it is just a way for dealers to screw the uninformed public

I've been to a few dealerships around here (Phoenix) and half are doing that too (especiallyon a TRX). But if you talk to the right person in the right way, the other half will give you the truck out the door at the MSRP, or better.

It is a bad day when Dealerships/companies are joining the Scalping bandwagon. *sigh*

The best part is the * they put near the advertised price on the window sticker, which lower below just states the difference in price can only be state taxes, dealership supplied and installed addons and such. Nothing about inflating the price.

 

[Veneno]

All this so called inflation is corporate gouging., to keep prices and profits high. For example at the Los Angeles port companies would not pick up their shipping containers creating an artificial shortage. Once the port started charging storage fees those containers were moved out quickly.

There's a dealership near me that carries a bunch of brands but had 5 2021 broncos at one point. All 5 had an AMV of $40k over msrp. So they had a base bronco with an msrp of $32k or so but a sales price of $72k LOL

Anyone who received their new Back Country no air suspension let me know how it rides?

 

[RockJock]

Until this week my dealer has had 0 2022 Limited on their website. Now they have 2 in the 24xxxx VIN range listed. Both have window stickers and are in transit.

I almost wonder if them putting in an order for Limited for dealer stock is what gave my truck the spark it needed to get built. Makes as much sense as anything. My truck and the other 2 were built within a couple days of each other.

I opted out of this option after much hand wringing. I’ll never do any serious off road driving, and don’t care about lowering the truck for entry or MPG. Am I missing any other benefits?

 

[midwestguy22]

Asked my dealer for an update today. Got a BS 12/17. Still no WS but dealer said truck is KZLD (he sent a screenshot). I think that means in transit - delayed. Does that make sense?

Me too just wondering if the Back Country suspension affects the ride is it stiff or still a smooth ride

Auto leveling while towing/hauling. Navigating parking garages. I was on the fence as well but ultimately decided to add it in fear of regretting it someday. (This mentality ultimately led to a $70k+ Laramie ) My kids are young too so the entry lowering will come in handy for us.

Ford should of stripped their dealership .

Not even the worst I've seen. Saw a $70k markup on a first edition bronco LOL.

Pathetic I have no tolerance for that stuff. My dealer is selling to me at invoice. That leaves him some holdback and fair to me. That's why go back there . This is my 6th Ram being built, eventually
