Just curious if your local Dodge/Ram dealer is looking a little thin right now? My 2 local dealers don’t have 10 new trucks between them. Usually each one has 30-50, new trucks at any given time. What they have left are the bare bones reg cabs, tradesman quad cabs and a couple of Cummins. I honestly don’t see how they are keeping people employed with the lots so bare. The other brand dealers are packed with cars/trucks. Just wanted to see if it is a local/regional issue or is it a Dodge/Ram issue?

Her new jeep came with some number of free oil changes so was at the local dealer last week. Pretty wells stocked with Renegades, Wranglers, Gladiators. About the usual number of commercial trucks, one Durango in the showroom. Not a single 300, Charger, Challenger or even a mini van. The truly odd thing: a loaded up Gladiator with a clearance tag reading in big bold letters "Last One!" and now only $57,000. The odd part being the nearly identical one parked next to it with the same exact clearance tag calling it the last one. I know I should have taken a picture.

Mainly the expensive high end Rams on the lots around here, I ordered mine February 26th ( regular cab / shortbed ) no dealers around here have them so I ordered one. actually the dealer I purchased mine at had two: one 6 cylinder, and one almost identical to the one I bought but it had 3.21 gears and a high tech electronics package I didn't need, turns out it was ordered in then the customer backed out of the sale. Mine is supposedly shipping Thursday April 8th we will see how long it takes to get here. Not too bad as the dealer originally told me 8-12 weeks.

Hey mastershake could you please pm me the website for searching for my truck, ? Thanks... I tried one but the vin # came up invalid. I got the same notice from customer service, I checked in with the dealer last week and they told me ship date 4/8 .... I hear ya, I am trying to time selling my 08 and dropping my trailer at the track for the season. I already have a new tonneau cover and air bags for the new one.

It would not surprise me if the auto makers were not also having issues getting sheet metal. I am trying to buy an enclosed trailer, and every builder told me it would be 12 weeks or more, as they struggle to get metal to build them with. It shows how much of our manufacturing depends on global sourcing. I bought my 2016 Ram pickup two years ago, and it is worth more today than what I paid for it then if you look at what they are bringing at dealerships and on-line. A friend of mine here close to Atlanta has been looking at trucks for a couple of months and is very frustrated with his search. Everything has gone up in price, if you can find it.

Found a 14 I really liked, pretty high miles at 89k, IMO this is low mileage compared to most Cummins PUs you see for sale used.

Been looking for a 14 or 15 Diesel long bed 2500 and the prices are insane. Found a 14 I really liked, pretty high miles at 89k, Laramie with most of the options, dealer wanted $49k. Are you kidding me? For a 7 year old truck? Local dealers are asking more than new for 17 and 18s. Did they really screw up the 19s and up that bad? I've been reading some stuff about the exploding injector pumps on the 19s and 20s that do about $15k worth of damage when they go out. i,m waiting till this [censored] chinese virus is over to order my new truck.. no need to be in a hurry as my old one still works fine..

Dealers by me (North of Detroit) have 100s of trucks on the lots.
I am not rich...but I get off my ass everyday to make sure I am not broke!
Can we get the Mexican cartels to help us with our supply chain issues? They don't seem to have any trouble getting stuff from one place to another.

At least when I’ve recently checked local dealers 2500 inventories here, they’ve typically had some stripped Tradesmans, and a few loaded Laramies, maybe a Powerwagon or 2. Some of the dealers had no 2500s, or just one. I don’t think things will be getting any better anytime soon. And prices will likely be going up due to material prices like steel and rubber rising, along with tight supply of vehicles making it unlikely dealers will be motivated to negotiate much, or for the auto makers to be generous with rebates. I ordered a truck in February and it’s supposedly built and on its way any day now. Ordering was the only way to go for me as I couldn’t find anything close to what I wanted in a Big Horn trim. Even the salesman told me in February to order, as he couldn’t find anything around close to my desired specs.

I was told by my dealer that my new 21 Ram Classic was shipping April 8th now they are saying April 27th estimated ship date, dealers around here have a few but not as many as a few months ago.

I was at my dealer today. They offered to buy out my lease on my Ram because people are walking in and paying silly prices for anything used, and they don't have any used vehicles. New inventory was pretty thin too.

I watched(about 3 weeks ago) a 2008 2500 4 by 4 crew cab hemi at Manheim dealer auction in Pennsylvania( largest in the country) Pretty nice, 91,000 miles. Typical cloth SLT type package. It had the bolt on fender flares, so very likely there was rust hiding under them. Still, pretty nice looking truck with good miles for the year. Wife was at home on her computer bidding on cars on Friday mornings. I give her figures on where to stop at.... on the truck....12k. Figured it was a 14,995 retail piece..trucking, service, etc Anyhow.... It kicked off at 16k, sold for 21,250.... a gas 2008!! Might be the craziest thing i have ever seen. 2500’s right bow are doing blood. 70-80 thousand mile 2012’s- 13’s gas motor trucks i have seen bust 30 grand
Saw a really sharp 70 superbee sell there today. Red, white guts, restored, 383, Tag and sheet, no mention if matching numbers... 43,500

I couldn't get anybody to buy my 08 H.Q.C. with 58,000 miles for $12,500 no wonder the dealer is giving me $10,000 guess he thinks he's going to sell it and make a big profit

Our local Chevy dealer is almost empty. We just drove past a Ford dealer about 15 minutes south of us, and their lot was 1/2 empty. This is a dealer that is part of a family of dealerships that probably has 35+ locations in OH and FL, too.

Yes you did and thanks for that, shortly after that I had to make a repair and out of fear of something else going wrong I wouldn't have felt right selling it to someone on here , a friend or someone on another message board.
