Just order a 2025 Laramie 1500 this past week. Could not find a flame red any where near Louisiana. Got $15,125 off msrp with dealer discounts and rebates. Also was told if ram rebates go up before truck comes in. They would give me the increase also. Been buying trucks from this dealership for 30 plus years.
Was also told truck should be here in about 6 to 8 weeks. They also gave me my trade in valve of my current truck. Also asked about putting a deposit and was told not to worry about it. Not needed.
I placed a factory Flame Red big horn 2/Night with 3.0SST. Didn't really want to finance/MSRP excise tax the price of running boards, bed liner etc so figured i'd order basic and mod over time.
On August 8th,2025 got notification from Ram the next day that the order was submitted in their system. 2 weeks later it was scheduled. Then got an email 8/30 with Nov 12 Estimated Delivery date to Maine.
I really like the Flame Red / Night - but didn't want to make 3 more payments on my trade in, and my registration on my trade was running out end of September. So I bailed on waiting for my build.
Dealer had a 1,700 mile, 1 owner 2month trade in on 2025 hydro Blue Rebel 3.0 SST for $9K off MSRP. I jumped on it. It was $5K more than my out the door price on the build - but i got alot more comforts/tech. Rebel also had 1 inch of lift, offroad tires, and running boards - all of which I was going to do the build anyway. I figured some of that cost was also off setting the 3 months of interest i was flushing away on my trade in. Needed my arm twisted a tiny bit more and I realized my trade in gas gage was running on empty. Gotta be a sign right?
Rebel came home with me.
For every 10 trucks that are V8/3.0 SST I see at Ram dealerships, 6 are white and 3 are black. Good luck with the last 1 being Flame Red and not delmonico, silver, etc.
Tons of Flame red v6's tradesman models around me, but those are about as useful as nips on a nun.
