You could always have it trailered by a private company. But, I still recommend that you at least call Mark Dodge to get a price. I think you may be surprised at how much you might save. Unless, you got a really good deal locally. I live just East of Dallas and I tried 5 dealers and nobody would even consider the deal I got from Mark Dodge. One actually acted as though I offended him.
Everything I've seen and heard suggests it's going to soften the higher gas prices go. It can be seen anytime gas prices outpace inflation throughout recent history. The unique position we find ourselves in is the fast rising inflation is almost matching the rise in gas prices. The guys over at yaa.com that follow it even seem really confused as they posted updated videos on YT day to day.
If it's in shipping stage it's likely more reliable than the estimate you might have gotten at earlier stages.... but not 100% reliable still.
Thanks RCT
I don’t have a deal from my dealership yet, which is another item that I’m frustrated with. They wanted to wait until truck arrives before talking $$. That may still work out in my favor if supply issues keep getting better and values stagnant or drop. Definitely going to call MD today.
We’ve seen this story over and over on this forum. Dealer orders, car gets here and they add a market adjustment, dealer add-ones or both.
Maybe they do not know exactly what the truck will end up costing them until it arrives and don’t want to risk losing money. This would make sense to me, I guess. Try calling MD, get your quote, then call your local dealership back and ask if they could match the MD quote. Maybe they can, but I doubt it.
Dallas DCJR off 635.
I ordered from MD about 2 weeks ago, and I'm already in D1 status. My first order took almost 3 months to get to D1 status. If everything holds true, it's likely I'll be picking up my truck May/June time frame.
I ordered 1/26 and should have in the next 3 weeks according to RamChat. MSRP ~73k and before incentives am at $64k with MD.
Glad to see I'm not the only one on here that watches all 3 of those channels on YouTube!
I too recommend calling Mark Dodge. Many of us here can give you email contacts. My truck had to be reordered due to a factory error. Renae called me about it on Thursday morning. By Thursday evening she had placed the new order. I had a VIN on Friday and it's already in D1 status today (Saturday) with a 4/10 ESD. She promised me if we had to reorder that she would pull every string that she could to get it pushed through quickly, and she did. 48 hours from placing the order to D1 is pretty sweet.
That is pretty awesome! Hope it arrives soon.
