Just walk in to the dealer that has the truck & loudly announce that you are here to buy a truck & you want to pay sticker. See where it goes from there.

A buddy just took delivery of a 2022 Ram 2500 std cab Cummins HO with the AISIN trans that he ordered and was talking about selling it back to the dealer and ordering another . He literally just got it on Wednesday. He decided that he wants more options on his truck, and he got a Tradesman that didn't have all the stuff he now decides that he wants. He won't need to pull his race car trailer till spring. He bought it at the Friends pricing so he got it cheaper than sticker so he figures the dealer would want it back. He probably hasn't put a 100 miles on it. He's qwkmopardan here on Moparts. Link to his user info on here. https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/users/7466.htmlIf anyone is interested, message him or I can get you contact info.

so a new cummins will be in my garage next year i will be buying one off the lot,( in stock) how should i approach this, to get the best deal? i know supplies are low . do i have a chance to barter for money off msrp Are you at least receiving a friend and family discount? As my friend jokes that the discount is granted through the Sunday newspaper. Once the new year comes, I’m sure there will be a deeper discount, if you can hold out and flexible on trim level/options/color?

As fugly as those things are I'm surprised they aren't giving those things away for the price of a Taco Bell taco box meal.

RECORD PROFITS for dealerships and car companies. NOBODY is EVER going back to the old way of flooded dealer lots and incentives. Those days are all used up. Dealers skip having to floor-plan the vehicles, cutting their cost. Car companies can build whatever they want (think highest profit units) and they are going to sell every one of them at full sticker. The pandemic has created a new way forward for car companies and I do not ever see them going back.
Never, ever argue with an IDIOT. They will drag you to their level and then beat you with their years of experience

Dealers around here have very few trucks. a good way to find one is to go on the Ram website and spec it out with what you want and on their website there is an option that says find your truck and it will bring up all the similar trucks in your area up to a couple hundred mile radius. I ordered a 1500 Classic back in February as of the end of June it still wasn't here and I was told it would be another month for so. They happened to get a 1500 Big Horn with the gearing I needed at the end of June so I bought it instead. My neighbor ordered a new Ford F350 back in June and it still isn't here yet , he is considering the same thing selling it back for more than he paid for it if it ever gets here.

A buddy just took delivery of a 2022 Ram 2500 std cab Cummins HO with the AISIN trans that he ordered and was talking about selling it back to the dealer and ordering another . He literally just got it on Wednesday.
You sure it isn't a 3500? HO/Aisin not available in 2500, when I ordered my 2018 that is the way it was and still is. FWIW trucks with the Aisin trans/HO option (if 3500) have the dipstick on the drivers side, 68RE is on passenger side.

FWIW trucks with the Aisin trans/HO option (if 3500) have the dipstick on the drivers side, 68RE is on passenger side. It's possible that it's a 3500. I haven't seen the truck, I know it's a Classic version and it's the HO Cummins and Aisin trans std cab. He said he loved the way the Aisin trans shifted, almost like it had a shift kit in it, firm/hard shifts unlike his 2019 that he traded in which he described as slipping and sliding into the next gear. He literally got what he paid for it when he traded it in, crazy. He has two other trucks, a 92 that's his parts runner/driver and another 92 that's restored that never gets driven.
