I have been contemplating trading in my 2017 1500 for a new 2500. I love my truck but I have been wanting better ground clearance, crew cab and still have a 6 1/2 foot bed and the larger hemi. We are also considering a travel trailer in the near future. Surprisingly my wife was being a bad influence yesterday and said lets go check out the new trucks. The dealer was just about cleaned out and had nothing on the lot that fit my requirements. The closest they had were a couple used ones (2019) that were similar and asking 47k. I asked about special order and we built a truck that came to 55k msrp and 52k invoice. They said if interested I could place a $1000 deposit and they would sell the new build at the invoice price of 52k and deal with finance/trade/rebates at time of delivery. I was quoted a current build time of approx 12 weeks. I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts as to where rebates/incentives will be at in that time frame. I noticed that when the pandemic first hit dealers were practically giving vehicles away and now the only incentive for 2500 Big Horn model is $500 for my area according to the Ram truck website. Is this the norm for these or just low because dealer stock is so low?
