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.
