Thanks for sharing that link.

Apart from the 777 hp engine, I love the regular shifter - as opposed to the round rotating knob on the dash.

Hopefully they did that so it would be easier to throw a six speed in there later. I know, big dreams. If they'd throw a six speed behind the 6.4L and sell it for a reasonable price, I'd sign on the dotted line.

6.4L Challenger was one of the funnest vehicles I've ever owned. I bought it for $38K brand new in 2020, but somehow it will wind up costing $50K more in a pickup configuration.

I have the forged blue. Granite was my second choice.

Finally got a chance to watch that video.

Oh man... that was all red meat.

I loved the jab about building a truck that only has 1 battery (I just replaced the start/stop battery on my Wrangler 3 weeks ago).

And GnR for the soundtrack.

I don't need a truck but... I'd definitely take a look at that SRT TRX.

It looks like they just took every option known to man and said - go for it. I'll be interested to see the MSRP.

After a long day of work, driving a few hours across the metroplex and then back, brought this home today. Will post more photos later.

Big thank you to the people recommending Mark Dodge. I just happened to be in the market for a 1500 Big Horn with the 5.7.

Mark Dodge gave me $15k off MSRP and delivered the truck to Houston for free. They were very easy to work with and did not try to jack around with pricing....or anything really.

Strongly recommend!

I drove a RAM Rebel, last week, as a rental. It has the hurricane engine.

The ride was the smoothest I've had in a truck. It really stood out.

Off the line, it wasn't extremely quick (compared to my Chevy 5.3)...but if I was already driving down the road and hit the gas pedal, it had impressive acceleration.

The gas mileage was impressive.

Overall, I really enjoyed driving it, and will take a look when I shop for a new truck in the future...but I'd like to compare the Hemi vs the inline 6 hurricane.

Just broke the 1k mile barrier today. Truck has been amazing (as it should, it's brand new). Love the sound of the hemi. I've been pretty impressed with the get up and go, as it has slightly less HP and quite a bit less torque than my 3.5 ecoboost.

If this ends up being a great truck, once it's time to get another new one, I won't reach out to anyone except for Mark Dodge. That's how all dealerships should work.

You now gave me the fever and I'm obsessing over the Forged Blue Metallic Laramie that they have….

Yeah I really wanted that color…. But I do love the granite metallic. But that forged blue sure is pretty.

That's not a problem. I'm northwest of the metroplex. I met them in Tyler and traded them my truck. Took all of 10 minutes for the swap.

And dealing with them is night and day better than messing with any Texas metro-area dealer I've ever talked with.

So for the mark dodge customers here, the discounts on their website are pretty visible and significant

In your recent purchases were there additional savings to be had?

Not in my experience, but the 15k off MSRP was at least 5k better than i could get from the houston dealers i talked to .

The best discounts you get with them in general is by ordering if you're in a position to wait and have it built. They're a volume dealer and make their $ by offering the best price and moving a ton of inventory. I do doubt there's much more to shave off their listed prices, but worth a shot if there's one in inventory you are looking at.

I ended up purchasing a truck from them on Saturday. Started talking in morning and had everything finalized same day no BS back and forth, I did get them to add another $1k to my trade in. The financing was via Zoom with no pushiness, simply said what are you interested in? Ok here's your options tell me if you want it. Very straight forward and should be delivered this week.

Wish they sold other stuff besides just Dodge.

Do you have his contact info? Would you like me to use you as a referal? We stopped at Bluebonnet just outside San Antonio today to see the trucks in person but I still plan on using MD

Mike Booth at Allways in Pleasanton does this for me every few years. Call him, tell him what you want he gets it and brings your new truck to you ands drives home in the old one.
