Anyone have a definitive answer on this date? The dealer where I think I'll get the best deal is a bit wishy-washy on it; they, of course, want me to come in and order sooner rather than later. <br><br>

 

Joel, what dealer are you going to? Usually the cutoff is late May, and set by the corporate offices, with about 3 - 4 weeks notice given to the dealerships. I would think the dealerships would know here pretty quick what the cuttoff date is. I'll contact my dealership here this morning to see if they have a date yet.

 

My dealer told me around 5-15-03 but they had not gotten the final word from corporate..

 

My dealer in South Texas said it would be approximately 05/15/03 for the final to order 03 hd. Hope this helps!

 

He may seem wishy washy because he doesn't know for certain...No dealer does(I know because I am one)..don't delay on your order. You can go order it tommorow and there's no gauruntee it will get built. Go order it and hope it goes &quot;D&quot; in 2 or 3 days. There already is a shortage of them due to the paint problems..it ain't gonna get better.

 

Cutoff is a mystery, but it is probably not too far off. I ordered mine 4/29, it went D 4/30 and D1 5/1. The dealer mentioned they have been &quot;looking for orders&quot;. Tentative build date is 3rd week of May, but my dealer and DC both said &quot;don't count on it&quot;. Any customer truck that has to be rebuilt because of the paint problems gets pushed to the front of the line.<br><br>I try to look on the bright side - the incentives might improve by the time it comes in - 0% for 60 months would be nice (but I'm not holding my breath) ;D

 

I've been talking to a guy at Grapevine Dodge. He did say sometime mid-may so I guess I was malinging him wrongly.<br><br>Yeah, 0% for 60 months would push me over the edge. Wife's not completely sold on the idea but I think she'd go for it at 0%/60 months. <br><br>I'd like to see if I can get a hold of one - QC LB - to drive for a day; a spin around the block doesn't really tell me everything I want to know about it. Maybe I'll try this weekend....<br>

 

I heard the same thing here in Des Moines...mid May

 

They have now cut off any Laramie SLT pakages in Canada.

 

Now they just announced a $210 price increase effective May 5th...if you had your order in before the 5th u would be price protected.

 

My dealership is now advertising 0%/60 months on Ram pick-ups, so check the Dodge web-site to see if that is corporation-wide; if it is, I would order immediately or even better, do a dealer locate.

 

I'm being told by my dealer the 0% at 60 months is for the 1500 trucks only. Is this true?

 

Gramps -<br><br>What dealer is that???? Might be worth the trip.<br>
