So I know a lot of guys are getting 10k off sticker and more but from what I can gather those are coming from the Laramie's/limited and Big Horns. The theory, higher the price the more padding the dealer has to work with?
So I found a tradesman with the Off Road package. I have a tradesman now and am happy and don't need all the upgrades. Is there any reasonable expectation that I could get 10k off a MSRP $42,600 truck? I spoke with a different dealer over the summer who wasn't open to much negation so I dropped it with the plan to pick it back up near the end of the year. So here I am.

What are some of the combined discounts being given on tradesman that you guys are getting or are aware of?

Thanks

At the dealership I went to they are showing about low 9k to mid 9k, but I think that might be Employee price! which I did NOT get, but I did get a good supplier discount.

Here's the site. https://www.szottm59dodge.com/

For the truck I listed it doesn't seem like same FCA discounts apply vs a Big Horn or higher trim.

I guess my question is are the FCA rebates, discounts, etc the same for all trim levels? I know I wouldn't qualify for many of them but from what I've seen the higher the trim the bigger the discount. Just trying to get an understanding on it before I make a decision.

Yes, the website I posted that is true, the one I bought had a $62,000 sticker and they were advertising $47,023 price.
I believe somewhere on that website they have a breakdown on the rebates?

I wanted a Tradesman but the best deal was on a basic Bighorn 4x4. Got $12750 off an msrp of $43990 and paid $31240. A Tradesman 4x2 would have been over $35,000. So I guess the better discount is on the higher trim level and that’s what I grabbed.
