New Vehicle quandry

I can only speak to what I expressed, which was my experience from actually owning a Ram and other Chrysler products (Jeeps). My experience is likely different than someone else's may have been, but it's all I can reasonably speak to. I agree that repeating hearsay is not as useful as hearing from someone with first hand experience, but that's no justification for the "fanboy" and "asshole" posts (not from you). People can disagree without being insulting or belittling someone else because they don't have the same opinion as they do.

 

I don't have an issue with your post, or with anyone posting relevant helpful information.

...and I don't have an issue with Gearhead's post. For the most part, it was accurate. Fanboys often litter these thread with irrelevant posts that do nothing but self serve their own need to self confirm their vehicle and mod decisions. In doing so, they often insult, alienate and anger people who have some very relevant experience to share.

I've seen some awesome threads (wherein posters have shared critical information) get littered with butthurt, asshole fanboys so desperate to defend any perceived insults to their trucks that they make the thread unreadable.

 

I only got what I ordered. It was cheaper than here in TN and here they want a larger deposit. I won't be financing so I looked at any markups and detailed order specs from 3 different dealers.. 2 in TN and 1 in GA.. went with the one who got me what I wanted cheapest and quickest.

 

get a Peterbilt much better towing capacity all around

 

When did they say you could expect to take delivery? Told me 2nd week of September.

 

Build date September 13th and delivery 2-3 weeks after that. It’s still a 2021 that’s being built

 

YMMV for sure. I'm right up on $40K for an off-road MT, and after reading this it seems I should wait. This is MSRP, no gouging I'm stuck with a couple of dumb things, like blackout package at $400 or so and the tonneau cover, but nothing really over stock package. I was able to remove a few items before they where locked in.

 

Toyota Knoxville was the only dealer that didn’t want a market adjustment fee. Murfreesboro and Cool Springs Toyota wanted almost $49,000 for the same truck. Murfreesboro salesman said he’d get back to me in few years when prices were back to normal

 

If your order avoided all those SETD installed add-ons then it makes perfect sense. Different story when you're buying out of dealer stock. Glad you were able to make it work.
