this is exactly it!!!

A deal is on the table for a 13.63% off MSRP. However, two caveats: 1. The dealer has a ton of bad reviews. It seems like a place to avoid. 2. The dealer said that there were "add ons" that weren't in the website price: tinting mask, appearance protection, dent protection. It all adds $2300...

Perhaps its a matter of preferences and context. I have a toddler and time is precious. Of course there will be tinkering and optimization with experience. But I'm trying to nail the fundamental things right, the things that are a PITA to change down the road. So the pillars of this build are...

Some updates: The wife is feeling strongly about being on the road in mid April. The wife is feeling strongly about wanting a black car not the "old man" metallic gray. I don't care either way, I'm happy to make her happy with the color of the rig. She found a car 2hours away, it's priced...

Thanks!.

I think going from this: To this: Involves buying new headlamps, changing some electrical connections and all the mechanical stuff around it.

Yeah, the main feeling is that I'm spending 80k on a truck and I can't get everything I want. Or I have to wait 3-8 months. Seems insane. It's a very frustrating experience.

Im trying to figure out if installing those is a pain in the ass. This is not something we want, but some of the deals do include them, good to know that this is actually a negative. I agree that this seems a very useful feature. Thank you for sharing your experience.

I agree. The issue is that due to the combination of preferred trim, features, color.......the options are limited, and most of the stuff available, that covers most of our features, is of higher MSRP, so even after a nice discount the price is not such a nice discount over our initial preferred...

Yeah, and I meant to write 2019 not 2015

A truck that was 50k in 2019 is 75k now. That's just the reality.

In a nutshell: Torque, fuel economy and robust engine.

We are set on the Ram. I'm not opposed to it, but my wife heard the story of our friend who had one and sold it because of many issues, and that has colored her opinion strongly.

Thanks a lot for you feedback!. If I could ask you, what have been the negatives, or relevant issues you wish were better ? Is there anything you would have bought/configured different in your setup? I appreciate any insight you could share. Thanks

Buying the truck is proving to be more difficult than anticipated. Here are the highlights: Exact configuration is near impossible to find. If I order the car, I'm looking at 4-6 months potentially more. I could be patient, but the wife wants to start overlanding in late April. I will use AAA...

I see what your are saying, but my interpretation of what they said (and I could be wrong), is that AEV wouldn't do trimming/cutting or other stuff to the stock bumper. It wasn't a general statement about fitting 37's in a 3500. Maybe I worded my comment incorrectly to begin with. Yep...

You can upgrade to 8100's

I need to do some research. I do plan to do a fair amount of riding in the Utah desert. Thanks.

They have 0 vehicles with a build even closed to my preferred.

Just spoke with a dealer, it sounds that If I custom order I should expect a wait time between 4 and 6 months. :eek:
