RHO Orders @ Mark Dodge! $9K-$11K off MSRP

[Torquef]

I'd like to trade my 23 trx for a rho but with mark dodge's prices, my trucks worth too much. I guess I'll wait and order a 2026.
I'd rather trade for a 2025 trx but the epa squashed that plan.

Just a big shout out to Mark Dodge, ordered mine 6/1 and they were great to work with! Don’t hesitate if you are thinking of going with them.

Ordered: white, level I, bed utility and pano roof

I would love the Granite Color. If we wait till it becomes available could we loose out on this pricing?

I am torn between Granite and Red

I wanted to wait for the granite to become available but convinced myself that the black one looks just as good! I didn’t want to wait too long to order because I really need this truck to come before the end of the year for tax purposes! I had come to terms with my decision … and I just saw a granite TRX drive by me 5 minutes ago and uuugh that thing is beautiful! Love that color!

I went to a local dealer and saw a TRX in the Flame Red. It is a little bit brighter than I really want. The online pics make the Flame Red RHO look darker and more metallic than it really is. If the option to look at a Flame Red TRX is available to you, you may want to do that.

Generally speaking, yes, if RAM changes the price you will pay new pricing.
MSRP unlikely to change before color is released, however I would say quite likely before onboard power is released.

Yeah Flame Red has been around for awhile. It is pretty bright, but looks great when clean. My wife's Durango RT is in Flame Red and it looks fantastic with the black wheels and accents. I ordered my RHO in Flame Red so at least for a while, we are going to have a very bright driveway, almost ready to start our own fire department.

This is where I say, just don't park out front somewhere you're not supposed to be.
My last two vehicles before my white '24 ram were VERY recognizeable lol

Very interesting and thanks for posting. What is the % on beadlocks ?

 

[Lancer-AM]

Very surprised that the Blue is beating out Red, the blue looks great, just expected red to beat it out.

Hey Anthony!

You seem to be the leading dealer here, so what has been you past experience with truck orders for a newly released vehicle? Do your large quantity of orders get staggered for delivery or do most of them come in around the same time?

Hey Anthony!

I had a similar question! Some around here seem to believe that dealerships have certain allocations and RAM will prioritize getting inventory to as many dealers as possible... so they would send 300 dealerships 1 truck each, over bombarding one dealer with 300 trucks in one shot... meaning our discounts would come at the expense of waiting longer to get our trucks than we would if we ordered from our local dealerships who only have 1-2 orders...

2 members of the Mark Dodge team assured me that in the past, that is not how RAM has worked.. these were the responses I received:

- "They do not share their production scheduling with us, but from experience it has nothing to do with whom you've placed your order. From my understanding, it's based on options. Like "we can build 14 blues with sunroofs this week, etc"

- "Your truck will be build! There is 0% chance we will be slowed down on our orders.
Manufacturer builds these units based on similar fetures to build in batches, not based on to which dealership it ordered.
We will monitor manufatcturer timeline on your build and keep you posted!"

They both had very similar answers... it seems like buying from a volume dealership will not be a reason for delay! As it shouldn't ... Stellantis would be very silly to "punish" a dealership that is selling 300 of their trucks by prioritizing a dealership who has sold 1-2. I didn't mean to answer for Anthony.. I am just passing along the information I got from my Mark Dodge sales guy Michel & Aaron the sales manager. Would love to hear Anthony's take on this as well.

You could also have Ram prioritizing customers builds that they consider loyal customers. I know my wife works for Ford as a warranty administrator and says Ford has loyalty score for customer that determine if Ford going above and beyond for customers. I always wondered if Stellantis had the same system that relates to customer builds.

RAM will produce these trucks with RAM's best interest in the top priority. They are going to sequence the trucks to be built in a way that optimizes their ability to build & ship quickly and efficiently. That means that two things are NOT going to happen

1. They are not going to build one for Dealer A, then one for Dealer B, then one for Dealer C and work their way around 2600 dealers before coming back to dealer 1. That would not be an efficient way to sequence AND it would be penalizing the dealers, which there are more than just us, who are actually making this launch a priority by discounting and promoting it.
2. They are not going to build one for the first customer who ordered, then the second, then the third. Again, this would not be an efficient way to sequence if trucks number 1, 33, 47, 99, and 472 are identical or closer in content than trucks number 1, 2, 3, 4. This means that we are going to have a whole thread of customers who say "I saw online some guy ordered his after me and got his earlier" Yes, that's going to happen. Some will be lucky, and some will not.

Keep in mind also that RAM sold orders are literally the opposite of RAPTOR/CORVETTE. RHO orders are NOT allocated per dealership, they are in addition to whatever a dealer is allowed to order for stock inventory.

This is not the first time we've been at this level of business volume. Spring of '22 we ordered over 350 Wrangler 4xe's per month for a few months straight. They all arrived in July. Aaron still has PTSD.
Before that, and after that, we've always made sold-orders a priority and have systems in place on our end to handle the volume both physically (PDI building) and technically (e-sign, remote finance, TTL in all 50 states, logistics department for shipping, airport pickup, etc)

That would be cool - but RAM cares about RAM first. I'm sure someone in a big suit could pull a string here or there - but that's not the process at large.

 

[AnthonyRI]

RHO builder is up on ramtrucks.com! However - this doesn't change what is and isn't available.

At this moment, we still have the following restrictions:

NO Steel Storm, Granite Crystal, or Forged Blue Metallic
NO Onboard Power System

IF Hydro Blue, Sunroof, or Red Accents are selected, you MUST already have Level 1 Equipment Group
IF you have level one equipment group, you do not need trailer camera prep
Towing Tech requires already having tow mirrors
Tow mirrors requires already having trailer tow group
IF ordering from somewhere other than Mark Dodge, you're paying too much

Now, when you want to get a quote on an order from Mark Dodge - go to www.ramtrucks.com and then build & price.
Select 1500, the RHO, and go through and select your options. Do not select the things that aren't available lol. Build your ideal RHO and then go to the top where it shows your price. Next to the price there is the little lowercase "i" , click that. Then, where it says, "added options" hit the little arrow to expand that. Now you can take a screenshot showing exactly what you've selected, and all of the pricing! It should look like this:

Now you can send that over to us at [email protected] and we'll get to ya!

In your experience, does this mean we might see D1 soon?
