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.
