2003, Ram Specific Brochures

[boonsur]

Is there such a thing? I have checked with many local dealerships and they all say they don't have any "yet". I have the 2003 brochure that also includes the Dakota & Durange. I also have a 2002 Ram 1500 brochure which seems to be close. Seems like a while (month+) ago, some people reported getting the real ones. Maybe they've been delaying until the 48RE is available?



Any insight? I have a few option questions I'd like to get clarification on.

My local dealer told me they didn't have any because there were so many running changes through the year ChryCo wasn't printing any because they would be obsolete right away.

My local dealer has plenty. They even include a comphrensive towing chart.



Go figure. At least they are on-line, as mentioned above.

The dealer I went through in ordering my new '03 had large Dodge binders full of ram spec's and options. I looked through it several times and they copied anything I wanted. Roy's Grand Dodge, Grand Island, NE - Larry Schuppan. I'm sure all the other Dodge dealers have 'em as well, or they should IF they know their product. It binders included specs on transfer cases, axles, options, tow rating, engine specs, height, widths, etc.

I'll have to check with my dealer. I still haven't seen a good layout of tire options (but I've heard the dealers have these). I need to stop by anyway to see what the January incentives are. Just waiting for the best price now Oo.

the incentives are posted on the dodge website...



Jheimerl, if i sent you postage, would you send me a print copy of that brochure? none of the dealers around me have one and i'd like to get my hands on one... pm or email me (curt@rebby.com) if you can do this for me... thanks!

My salesman said that the brand and model of tire changes sometimes from day to day. He could not guarantee what my truck would be equipped with, but he could tell me what the latest shipments had. I figure I'd opt for the regular tires and then trade in the new ones for ones I like, such as Goodyear MT/Rs or BFG's A-T KOs. You save a bunch of money ordering the off-road tires with the truck, but they are smaller, only 265's. However, on the 3500's, maybe the 2500's, they are load range E. If you are going to haul a load, a person should have tires that can handle it. I'd be surprised if the encentives got any better. I ordered in December as I thought they may go away if sales pick up after the Motor Trend Truck of the Year award. The $500 holiday rebate may be over now, but it's not good for trucks ordered, only from existing inventory.
