Diesel is a just option that cost less than 10,000.00 so why were they charging you 26,000.00 for option that cost less than 10,000.

Because that is what was on the lot, other then work trucks.

So I just configured a F250 on the Ford site, in order to get all the options that my truck has currently you have to add several "Equipment packages"

Camper Package
Chrome Package
FX4 Off road Package
Lariat Interior Package
5th Wheel Prep Package

With all that its still not clear if it has the backup camera or not...

So that configuration with the Powerstroke 6.7 Turbo equals $61,095.

Assuming you'll get it for $53,000 after tax, you're still at $20k difference.

So went and configured a truck with those options you listed and come to over 50,000 MSRP. Still adding the diesel options is still less than 10,000 to the MSRP of truck. I sat in front of the dealer with truck configured with gas and he added the diesel option and took off another 1,000 for adding diesel up the price about 7,500.

I'm looking at the config at $50k right now and its missing key features that I have in my truck today. At $50k your getting a glorified work truck. No backup camera, no power folding mirrors, no integrated trailer break controller.

Its not comparable to my truck at all.

Sounds like you got great deal on truck. Here what I would do next time is negotiate a great deal like that on gas truck then tell the dealer to added diesel and he says 20,000 plus for the option I would walk out. Of coarse if your don’t want diesel then it's mute point.

I'm looking at Chevy web site config like mine and it is over 50,000 without diesel. The MSRP are not that different between Chevy and Ford. Now Rams seem cost less.

There is no way there is 20,000 to 26,000 on truck config the same between Ford and Chevy. IF that was true Ford won't have a sales record like they do if people save 20,000 plus going Chevy. The 2500 crew cab base price is 37,960..

I went to NADA and looked at retail truck price for 2012 just like mine and adding the Diesel option added 8200 on to the retail price. I went back to 2000 and diesel option still added 3200 to truck similar to mine. Never going recoup all the cost of the diesel but just makes it like less painful.

My 2500 Ram has air bags at the rear. Once you are hitched with your RV just push the button and the truck will level itself correctly.

That's cool option! If Ram had truck that would fit in my garage I would probably be driving one right now.

I have Ford F350 now and last truck was 2013 Chevy 2500HD - it was time for a Ram.

I did feel a little bad walking out of the dealership My wife is a tough negotiator Shes a banker doing commercial lending.

Anyways, after I win my $150k on Fanduel I'm going to buy the wife a nice Audi A6, then I'll spend what ever is left over on a new Diesel.

This is what I learn from retired car salesman how to buy 1 ton for less money then 3/4 ton. He said to find volume dealer and get the best price you think you get. Then go to a small dealer and the key is he has zero 1 tons in stock and normally don’t carry them in inventory. Tell him you going buy a truck and you not just kick tires and the only truck you will settle on is 1 ton with these options. He has a choice of ordering one or finding one from another dealer. Just to make the deal he will trend to give you better deal since it not in his inventory and normally don't sell them and he is going to lose the sale if he doesn’t give you great deal. It work for me, he beat the price of the volume dealer by over 3,000. Funny thing is the it was same truck because both dealers had to get the truck from another dealer and it was the same window sticker.

Never Never Never tell the dealer you going to pay cash since dealers gets a kick back from the finance company that they consider part of the sale. Sometimes you are better off to finance it then pay it off in 30 days. Just make sure there is not a fine for early payoff

I just bought a new Ram 2500 Diesel. I researched trucks for 2 months everyday and went to 15 dealers while they were closed to look at the same type apples to apples. What I walked away was Chevy was about $3k more than the Dodge and Ford was a little cheaper than the Ram. Looking at several consumer reports RAM was rated slightly better than Chevy. There was a known suspension problem with the Silverados.
Ram also had better proms than Chevy at the time. Even the Chevy dealer sales person told they could not compete with RAM. Also I have been a Chevy man all my life until it was time to buy a truck.

Looked like a killer deal till I saw it was in NC and from Texas. Then I saw this in the description "WHEM NEW PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS TRUCK HAS AN NC REBUILT TITLE" Looks like this truck was total out by an insurance company..
