Tomorrow we are going to look at this truck below. It's a 2020 Longhorn model with 19K miles on it. It's freaking loaded, but no air ride. What's not in the photo is a new set of all-terrain tires and a leveling kit. And again, if we end up with this one, I will add the chrome or tungsten side moldings.

My hope is to get it for about $8,000 to $10,000 less than last year's sticker price. But just as important is what they offer us trade-in on the **** Pack. It's only the difference in price that matters.

PS: Why does the word "S-C-A-T" get edited on this forum? It means "to leave quickly".

Beautiful truck, and I love that interior. Wish I could have gotten that in a Limited. I'm sure your sweetie will love it.

Lol still wondering what they want for it, being that your hoping to get in that range I assume they want more like $4,000-$5,000 off the original MSRP?

Just something to think about, but you might be able to get about that amount (or easily more) off of a new (ordered) ram from Mark Dodge in Louisiana. I usually buy lightly used too, but I ordered my current truck from them due to how bad and high prices are in the used market. When I ordered back in March the used prices were just about the same as what I paid for my new order (1-2 years old with 15k miles or so), now it seems like the used prices are higher than what I paid for my new truck.

Just couldn't justify paying anywhere close for a used ram as a new, let alone the same amount or anywhere close. It sucked having to wait, but it was worth it to get it exactly the way I wanted it. Food for thought, I think Mark dodge is still offering a dealer discount of around 11-12% off msrp before any rebates/discounts.

On your other question I have no idea, I've seen forms censor some weird words over the years and that is a strange one on any mopar forum!

Bought this truck. New. Approx. $2600 below MSRP. This included a $1,000 rebate and $1,600 more for my trade than others offered which will help with sales tax. The guy was struggling with my USAA rebate. If he can work that out next, week I may be getting another $1,000 back in the mail. As far as price goes, this truck was spec'ed out with the stuff my sweetie wanted and not a lot of stuff she didn't. So MSRP was very good compared to most others that did have the stuff we wanted.

Stuff I want to add includes a hard tonneau cover, bed carpet, chrome side moldings, and OEM foam cup holder for the passenger door. I could use to recommendations on these. OEM passenger side cup holder 5YK46TX7AC is already on the way!

First mod. 4-bold chrome front license plate frame and RAM plate. My sweetie and I drove home over 400 miles from St. Louise yesterday. So she needed a bath. The truck was nasty too. The car wash was closed, being the 4th of July and all. And since Arkansas doesn't require a front license plate, if figured it was time to detail out that front license plate bracket. I had to curve the license plate frame to fit onto the OEM bracket. It's the first of a grocery list of things to change and/or add.

I have the Undercover Elite hard cover on mine that’s also Available in painted to match if you want. I also highly recommend the Mopar factory chrome side moldings. I had them on my last two Laramie’s and was extremely satisfied with them.

BEDRUG...can't recommend highly enough.

BEDRUG...can't recommend highly enough.

And I just ordered a Bedrug #XLTBMT19CCS. AutoAnything has them for 10% off.

I have the exact same BedRug, on my previous Ram I had the full kit which I purchased off of a member here. Great protection and easy to clean, at some point I just might get the full kit again.

 

[Farmer Fran]

Serious question, why a bed rug if you have a spray liner?

I don't have a spray liner.
