Looks like RAM 3500 CTD Limited pickups can exceed $80,000 US Dollars !!!

[gsbrockman]

I periodically check the inventory at my usual dealer (Don Marshall Chrysler in Somerset, KY).

A few weeks ago, I saw a truck that was noted as "In Transit" that finally arrived.....

a 2017 RAM 3500 Mega Cab DRW Limited 4x4

$80,860 USD MSRP

It would be fun / interesting to see if there's any other trucks exceeding the $80,860 price tag......so post up a link if you can find one. (Canadian dealers don't count due to the exchange rate).

Today's truck prices are absolutely insane.

 

[RustyJC]

The truck in my signature listed for over $75K with no rear air suspension assist, so I could see a Limited easily going over $80K.

It must mean that top line Furd's are approaching 100K!

:--)

 

[TCDiesel]

I checked the WS Luther GMC, they had a Denali with L5P Duramax With Accessories almost $84K.

After a couple years of LOT ROT the prices will come down. SNOKING

Remember "EP" pricing? Over production flooded the dealer lots as well as a slump in purchasing. "Projected sales quota" will ruin a business.

Mine with rear air was 73,155 and it's a 15. Seems like a big difference without the rear air it would have been 71,560. Only options I don't have is auto wipers and headlights.

Mine has both of those. Also remember, there's more content in the 2016. Bed lights, front parking sensors, etc. And then there's always inflation and greed. :{

Trucks, SUV's & a few luxury models are the biggest money-makers for the big 3 automakers

Auto loans are exempt from regulations on other loans (like mortgages). The dealer lobbiests are very good.

When did they take the numbers off the coolant temperature and oil pressure gages?
