Dealer made me a stupid good deal, so I traded

Well, I said goodbye to my 6.4 (which I loved) and snagged a 1 ton Cummins dually. Dealer just made me a deal I couldn't walk away from, and he delivered it right to my house! This rig will expand our options down the road for a 5th wheel, but right now, it will be overkill for my 9000 pound bumper pull. Can't wait to hook up and go camping in 2 weeks!20210901_133912.jpg20210901_133922.jpg20210901_133937.jpg

Nice dually. I almost went diesel but stayed with the 6.4. I paid $33,000 for my 2017 Ram 3/4 and was offered $34,000 to trade on a 2021 Ram 3500 crew cab long box. Couldn’t pass up on the trade. The 8 speed pulls my 10,000 lb 5th wheel allot better than my 3/4 ton with a 6 speed. Enjoy your new ride.

Very nice truck! What @HEMIMANN said. Did they contact you? The dealer I bought mine from sends an email once a week for the past month and a few letters saying for the same payment they could get me in a new 2500

That's the current Marketing technique - "you'll have the same monthly payment!!!!!!!" (stretched out beyond the end of your lifetime, that is).
Thats the truth right there! I already have a lifetime warranty on mine so as long as I can keep it from rusting out completely in 12 years its going to be my sons first truck.

Yes, dealer reached out. We talked for a couple days, and I said no. He had already told me he would give me $2K more than I paid for it. Told him I had just put $4K in wheels and tires on it, so he gave me the $4K also. Called him back on the 31st, and asked for $2K more, and he did it. I also got a lifetime warranty to boot (3rd party). I just couldn't walk away from this deal.

The forum blocks out the name W o o d y???
Well ya know, lest the slang comes to mind. I was kinda hoping you'd be a wee bit closer just to chew the fat. Yeah, I know, in the electronic age distance doesn't mean as much, but still would wanna sit down and blab for a bit. Thx for sharing. Good on you.
