yeah from what I'm seeing, the chip shortage is going to extend into 2022 so I'm not overly concerned. Like I said in an earlier post if they try and change things up I'll just let them keep the truck. Mine is just fine.

Afraid you may have been misled..... there is NO LEO/FIREFIGHTER discount that high! Typically it “MAY” qualify you for an extra 200 - 500 dollars off! Do NOT put down a deposit..... you will NEVER come out ahead on this deal...

You did really well. I did a bunch of research to figure out what others were getting off msrp for PWs I felt 10% or 5-10 thousand was what to expect. I got 7 grand off msrp on my order which is below invoice so I couldn't complain. I probably could have played the dealers against each other more but after a bunch of people never called me back I stopped trying. My local dealer told me that price is too low, they wouldn't make money and the way I want it would cause massive delays and there is no supplier for ramboxes so who knows when it will be built.

Good to know on the Rambox. I'm up in the air on whether or not I want them again. Most of the stuff I have in there is nice but I don't really need it. We'll see. It's just nice not to have **** rolling around the bed.

As far as I know that's a lie. No dealer other than him, I talked to had anything like that to say. My order went through no problem. I should be getting it by the end of the month. I think that guy was just mad someone else offered me a price he couldn't afford to do.

I was on the fence to but decided to go with my gut and get them. I have never had ramboxes l but I remember when they came out, seemed like a great idea. I never used that portion of the bed, Plus I like that cargo devider. Make the bed short and keep things like gas can or boxed from sliding around.

Congrats and well done!

Thinking about doing this with my fully loaded 2017. I am the 2nd owner and it has higher miles (95K) but KBB insists it is worth 39-44k trade-in. If I could get that for it I would love to order a new one from the factory. My local southern California dealerships are not budging much on discounts though -- anyone have any recommendations? I'd be willing to buy out of state for the right deal.

Was hoping Memorial Day weekend would have some incentives, but maybe I should wait for July 4th?

We were not sure how useful the Ram Box would be either but we bought used so it didn’t matter. Now we can’t imagine not having them and yes, that divider is very handy too.

yeah because I'm the only one on the forum who's pissed at the fix. I'm more annoyed at the servicing dealer that fixed it without checking the steering wheel alignment than anything.
