Good morning from Newfoundland.

I want to buy a 2014 RAM 3500 CTD crew cab 4 x 4, with single rear wheels and the 68RFE transmission.

Does anyone know if the factory is set up yet to build these vehicles as one of the dealers in town can not build this vehicle for me.

 

Not exactly pertinent to the 2014, but I'd like to hear a reason not to find a 2013 sitting on a lot and save? I see our local ads showing $10k-$12k off MSRP currently.

 

My dealer has 14's showing up at the end of this month and forward. They will also have the new 1/2 ton diesel on their lot by mid october.

 

There are still quite a few 2013 3500's kicking around. I had a look at some of the dealers Canada last night. The dealers in Edmonton, Alberta show 400+ RAM 3500's on their lots. Here in St. John's, Newfoundland there is only 1.

It seems to me that Dodge is not very organized this year. The only reason that I am going with them is because of the Cummins engine.

 

I'm not aware of any significant changes between 2013 & 2014, go with the best deal.

 

Not true at all. Air suspension isnt a significant change? 2500's getting 3 link front suspension, air suspension or coil springs? That is huge.

 

I hate to say it but Dodge is very organized. The trucks are flying off the wall here in Alberta due to the oil patch so why would they not fill our dealers lots with trucks here in Alberta?

 

Even with the oil patch, with the 2014's coming out, I would not want to be a dealer with 90+ 3500's on my lot. All of these vehicles not sold would either have to be rebranded as 2014's or sold at a discount.

 

If it ain't broke don't fix it

 

Well over here they are lots of 2012 and they won't budge off the price of $70.000 for the long horn I have told them I could go across the line and save 25.000 they don't care!!!

 

Then go across the line and save the dough.

 

That's allowed in Canada???
Yikes.

 

They can't rebrand them. Especially the 14 2500's. instead they'll just start dealing if you're really pushy. You do have to be quite adamant though

 

You obviously haven't been to Alberta. All they do is dealer transfers and these trucks will be gone. They can't rebrand vehicles.
