'27 TRX Code Guide & Allocation info from MARK DODGE

[MurderedCat]

Interesting, I hadn't heard that. The 2400 SRT TRX's are being allocated (amongst 1900 dealerships) based on Feb-Apr sales. Only Ram knows exactly how many "sales" there were during that period. But I looked up how many VIN assignments were made during that time - it was about 71,800. So if you assumed that sales roughly follows VIN assignments (i.e., accepted orders), then the sales/allocation ratio would be more like 30:1.

But still - even a dealership that sold 100 trucks during that period would get 3 allocations. And as I understand it, the allocations aren't calculated exactly that way. Pretty much every dealership will get at least one. So take 1900 dealerships that all get one, and the remaining 500 are divvied up by sales.

I can certainly see how even the largest dealership in the nation would only get single digits to start.

The only Ram dealership in our town told @alexac9 they got 1 and are marking it up $15k!

Well someone has to be on this forum and they sure seem quiet.

When I asked if they were unable or unwilling to share how many they got, they said unwilling and that it was single digit.

Interesting on now being so hush hush. Must be that NDA that RAM had them sign to place an order

Is "ownership" considered among dealerships when trading or selling vehicles between them or just for us peasants?

 

[ALJ]

All set guys, found a dealer selling for MSRP plus a $440 doc fee.

They have one coming that is unspoken for. If anyone wants the dealer info, DM, and I will give you the contact. It is white and i do not know the options.

I doubt they can enforce something like that. There are a shitload of legitimate reasons that someone might need to get rid of their TRX in the first year of ownership.

I apologize if this has already been answered, but where is the “Bloodshot” package option?

Its legit...some other brands do it as well.

I agree but it’s interesting that they would come out and say that. The markups are going to be insane.

Monday 8/3 production start. No idea about the RB but that model has its own forum created by @Nitro if you want a RB.

I wasn't questioning whether or not the manufacturers print that policy. I want to know if they can legally enforce it. I don't think they can apply that policy to the guy that runs into financial difficulties and needs to get rid of the vehicle within the first year.

I've seen similar employment contracts that a lawyer told me aren't enforceable. They do scare a lot of people into thinking they're legal and that's probably what the manufacturer is hoping for.

I will let you know for sure when i read the contract, but yes, it is enforceable as a contract is a contract. No different than if a truck is marked as a modded vehicle and they void the warranty...then a new guy buys it and has no idea there is no warranty on the truck.

Employment law changes a lot, and is taken more serious than a car warranty...i agree though, i think it is bullshit especially if the dealers are marking them up.

Are the Canadian dealerships included in your 1900 figure too or is that just the US dealers? I would assume there would be allocations out of the 2400 designated for certain Canadian dealerships.
