What made you decide to buy a 2013 over the 2012s with the deals they offer right now?

I really wanted a Reg Cab Express w/ Rambox and lots of options. Since they couldn't find any 2012s like that, they agreed to order me a 2013 and give me the same rebates that are being offered on the 2012s, which is $7500 below MSRP.

In Canada, Chrysler is already offering a $5000 factory rebate on 2013s, so my dealer pitched in another $2500 on top of the $5000. I double checked the MSRP according to ramtrucks.ca, and I'm getting exactly $7500 below MSRP on a custom 2013 factory order.

I had to play hardball a bit, but it worked out. And besides, I prefer the look and interior upgrades in the 2013s. They come with more standard options and more available options too.

There was no option for the 8-speed yet. Also, the 2013 Express doesn't get the air suspension, engine start stop, grill shutters, etc. which is good if you're concerned with the maintenance and reliability of the new technology. I'm not a fan of the new turn dial selector for the 8-speed anyways.

8 is not available yet and why 3:55s??? Congrats though!!!!

I picked the 3.55 gear ratio for better highway mpg since I do mostly highway driving.

 

[bigbadram1500]

Congrats and welcome. That is an awesome color.

Welcome! You're gonna love the Rambox, I've only had my truck since tuesday, and it's just so awesome to be able to store tools, tow rope, all that stuff that you don't use often. Keep us posted on the order status!

$27,000 before tax and delivery, and that's including almost $8,000 worth of additional options. As it is with a lot of things, MSRP is higher in Canada.
