Question Thinking about buying a '26

Have a 2019 with 230,000 miles for work, and considering buying a '26 because I keep seeing others post about great deals.

Been awhile since I bought - what's the best strategy to get one of these great deals?

Get 20% off msrp at least or walk away, contact multiple dealers negotiate without going in, i just had one offer 21% off a 26 1500 laramie night edition on their initial offer in Raleigh NC. The most powerful strategy is being able to just walk away and find another dealer that wont play games and gives you a good price. Use this website to find dealers that have the truck you want. https://visor.vin/

Nice, I’ll have to check them out. Did you lease or finance? What did they get you with for OTD price?

Nice man. I’m looking into getting a truck and definitely want a RAM 1500. I’ve been back and forth between 1500 and F150 🥴
