Beautiful! Congrats.

I had the 2015 big horn. Now I have the 18 Laramie. Both awesome. The changes they made to the 2020 eco seem pretty legit.

I have a 19 5.7 gas limited with the 22s, looks like yours. You will love it, it’s like driving a Mercedes S class. I’ll keep it till my Cybertruck is ready.

I need to get over my dislike of their grilles and overall design. Those trucks are badass inside and underneath [emoji106]

I got about 7G off of window sticker, dealer added front clear bra and front side window tint N/C. PLUS $6,500 rebate, my FICO is over 800 so 2.6% loan with Chase. I could not pass it up.

ALL Limited's come with 4 point air suspension that is adjustable. Rebates seem t ovary, perhaps on time in inventory, go figure. Diesel is just a $500 option (net) if you look at this this way;
Hemi is a $1,500 option, rebate for diesel on this one is $3G, diesel is a $4,995 list option. It may take me a month to figure out all of the features, the only option I wish it had is a 33 gallon fuel tank, you cannot have it all. It has a 26. Ride is incredible, remote tailgate release, 5 years of XM, tracking, all features. The rear leg room is huge too. Side running boards come on diesels auto deployed.

Really nice truck, crazy to think a truck is that much money now days. In 1987 I bought a new Silverado 4x4 truck, for 15K loaded, thought I was the shit. Loaded back then didn't mean much... or get you much. Trucks have come a looong way.

In 2011 I bought my fully loaded Silverado 1500 4x4 for $37k otd.... Dam inflation..

They are damn nice, even nicer than the Fords IMO. However, you aren't planning of towing anything serious with 3.21 rear end?

Its not so much inflation, they are just offering trucks with more gadgets and features now. You can get an equal 2020 truck to your loaded 2011 for about $45K OTD, and it will have more features than your 2011 does.

I only tow about 6K max most 3G, so the 3.21 for most of my non towing is perfect. Add to that the diesel has 480 FT LBS torque. It pulls.

Many option the 3.92, it tows to 8,800 I believe, goes to 11K or so with MAX towing different rear end, Limited too I believe. They also option it with 3.55. I figure my net cast was about 53K, this is a lot of truck. And with diesel being just $500 option at 25-30 MPG plus torque, I am happy.

I have never seen a truck with so much luxury and tech than this truck. Even the rear bench seat is heated cooled/vented and 110 Volt plus USB's, 12 volt plugs, in floor coolers, just endless.

Half ton diesel, very nice!!

Who makes the engine for that??

New trucks are amazing in how comfy they are. You really don't even know your in a truck anymore. 👍

I hope the 3rd time is a charm for them figuring out that damn 3.0 diesel. I'd like one in a Jeep or gladiator one day but I’m not willing to beta test. Hope it works well for you nice truck.

They will put the 3.0 diesel in the Gladiator for 2021. I was a drag race on youtube, HEMI Ram 1/2 ton VS. 2021 Gladiator prototype, the Jeep blew the Hemi away.

Diesel was probably a prototype ringer. None of the 1/2 ton diesels are faster than their top of the line engine gas counterparts.

Ram trucks are pretty hot right now and dodge is not giving any rebates or incentives on the 2020

RAM IS giving incentives, I got a $6,500 rebate and purchased below invoice. I saw the invoice.
Friend bought same truck last week with $57k msrp and got $7000 in rebates ($500 was for a association he is in) and with the dealer discount paid $41k plus tax/license. Nice truck with cool features and a huge moonroof. He was working on the truck price with dealer for 1 month, they started at $55k Otd and at the end he paid a little over $46k Otd cash.

I believe if you currently own another brand truck that can be another $1G off. And many rebates belong to certain associations.

I just picked up a 20 LTZ 2500 crew cab fully loaded for 59k. I’ll pay the extra for a full size
For a full-size? A 1500 isn't full-size to you?

I went from a 2019 Ford F-250 PSD to a 1500 Ram and love it. I got a lemon in my 19 Ford and dumped Ford. Had another Ford lemon and done with them.
Mine 5.7 night edition BigHorn with a lot of options. Bought in high 30,s. Just picked up the 29 and towed it across the mountains and it did very well. I put ride rite bags on it as it didn’t have air ride.
Mine has the etorque and it’s definitely the best transmission I have ever felt. For the combination of daily driver and hauling 10k, this truck is a winner. I don’t miss my 250 at all.
I have never had a Chrysler product but if this thing holds up as far as durability it’s my favorite truck of all time.

If you get a HEMI, get E Torque mild hybrid, huge electric power from the go and saves fuel in stop and go driving.

That is the only thing I dont like. My Ecodiesel is slow as hell lol. But no issues with passing/pulling or towing. But your not winning a drag race.

The limited is not for towing :)
I have the 3.55 and it will do about 9k. The most I've done is probably around 7500 and has no issues. But my standard millage not towing took a hit. I'm averaging about 20 to 22 with mixed driving. What is cool, towing my boat out to Havasu ill average about 18 and that's with the last stretch at 75MPH.

That is pretty good. My F150 (Gasser) gets about 13-15 towing, speed dependent. It gets about 19-20MPG on flat ground under 72 or so. At 85 it gets 16.

My only thought with the diesel is that for the price uplift, you’ll never get your money back out of the increased mileage.

In this case when it is only a $500 uplift it is fine, but like for the F150 it was a $5k Diesel uplift to go slower, tow less, with slightly better mileage.
