Checked within a 300 mile radius of me, which includes Lafayette. Nobody is coming close to Mark Dodge.

Seriously. If you want a new Ram truck. Checkout Dave Smith Motors in Kellog ID. The largest Ram dealer in the world. Will save you thousands.

I guess you had a third party so the bed liner and tinting? Who did you use and was the price reasonable?

Yea it’s sort of scary seeing them discount the 2025 1500 with hurricane engine sooo much in comparison to the price they asking for remaining 2024 (yes 2024) 1500’s with the older engine.
Something is Berry suspicious.

Ram has the largest inventory right
They have 110 days of inventory
Ford has 99 days (lots of Bronco Sports aren’t selling)
Chevy has 66 days
And Toyota has 32 days.

Posted on 6/15/25 at 6:12 pm to Royalfishing
Ive one on truck i bought. It's nice on those below 32 mornings

Their sales are based on you being a resident of western state in their region.
Posted on 6/16/25 at 3:28 am to VoinBoga
No it isn't. They'll buy you a one way ticket and fly you into ID to complete the deal from all over the US. They sell an avg of 800 vehicles each month.

Disagree all you want but their advertisements clearly show “all prices and rebates are zone specific for Alaska, Washington and Idaho residents”.

You mean like all those Ford commercials that say these deals are at your local "SOUTHERN" Ford dealer. Lol
What car dealership do you work for? Don't want your customers finding a better deal or saving thousands less?
Note: They aren't selling 9,600 vehicles per year in only those 3 states.

I checked out their site and their options aren’t what most here in the south want. Most here offer a 3.92,axle ratio. Most there are 3.55. But you get an engine heater.. And unlike the Louisiana dealerships they don’t disclose their offer price. You have to call them or inquire. But we do appreciate the link and know it was well intended.

Mac Haik CDJR Energy Corridor in Houston has some insane deals right now. Loaded Laramies at $46K, very tempting!!!

I am waiting for Ford to follow suit and offer similar deals.
If I could get a Ram with the old Hemi I would be there today.

Talk me out of a new Ram 1500 Laramie
Only reason to talk you out of it is if you can find a used one with low mileage for a good price, but good look with that.
Loved my '18 ecodiesel Laramie. Wish I would have deleted it and i'd still be driving it today. damn city mileage once my job changed killed it with all the regen bullshite.
Have a '23 Laramie v8 now and was surprised how quiet it was compared to the my '18. Such a smooth and quiet ride with great pickup. Wish i had my ram boxes on this one like i did my ecodiesel. If you aren't putting a 4 wheeler in the back of your truck, then the ram boxes are frickign awesome.

I bought my current truck from that region. Silverado 1500 with the 4.10 for better towing.
Posted on 6/17/25 at 5:25 pm to SkintBack
So I dropped the hammer and bought a 2025 ram crew cab 4x4 Laramie with the SW package and 3.92 axle ratio from Mark Dodge in Lake Charles. Two dealerships in Lafayette and otywrsc north and south neither had the selection I wanted or the prices based on their website. Mark Dodgec was straight up and gave a fair trade on a 15 yr old f250 super duty. Only thing I’d suggest is to do your homework in what you want and as soon as they give you the deal you want line up money and close asap. They don’t take deposits and won’t hold trucks. And my first pick was sold the night after we cut a “deal”, the day before because I waited to go test drive. But they put me in a replacment that I like better.
I have no financial interest in saying this. Nor know anyone working there.
