Wow, I was in need of 4 lug nuts on my truck - standard 1500 lug nuts for the wheels on my 2020. Long story short - the lock key for my wheels got lost and the dealer removed the locking lugs with a master key. I don't need locks so I decided to just buy 4 standard lug nuts from the Ram dealer parts department. They quoted me $40 per lug nut! Unbelievable - that's $160 for 4 for the walk-out price (self install).
I was speechless, was willing to pay a small premium for genuine OEM plus the convenience of not going to the local Autozone or Amazon. Needless to say I left without the lug nuts, went to Autozone down the street, and for $15.49 plus tax bought an exact OEM replica 4-pack.
What in the world is Stellantis thinking with their parts prices? last month they quoted me $25 for an oil drain plug on my 2019 wrangler. It's a $5 part everywhere else. I get charging a premium, but not on the order of 5-10X of what the market will bear. WTF?
