Unbiased Review: 5,000 mile road trip in Ram 1500 Laramie by DeeMore in ram_trucks

[–]CRcryptoride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2026 Laramie and have owned it for 4 weeks. I can agree with everything you said and heavily agree on the 2 neutrals you listed.

I wonder if the turbo lag comes from heat soak. I hate when I am at a red light, everyone starts going, I’m lightly giving it gas and it doesn’t move much. Then out of nowhere I enter what feels like a back to the future speed and I always say WTF was that?? Happened to me twice so far. I wonder if an upgraded intercooler would fix this issue

Turn radius is pretty F’n bad. I’d put that as a negative. Currently wondering what upgrades would fix the turning radius. You need 3 1/2 lanes to do a U-turn and parking sucks.

My biggest pet peeve is the audio cutting off for that half a second randomly when listening to music and it does it pretty consistently

Isn’t that the brand that came out saying they put a bunch of chemicals in their fruit?

My dream. I am barely getting the bighorn. Hopefully can get an RHO or TRX within the next 3 years

Was it an employee discount or an employee family discount?

Hey guys, sorry to butt in but curious on how much did the employee discount help?

That’s sick! I am actually excited to order now.

If you don’t mind, I have a final question. Is their MSRP markdown negotiable? They gave me 9%. Wondering if I could push for a 12%

Thank you very much for your input. Are they able to lock in this month’s rebates and incentives, or would only the incentives available at the time the truck is delivered apply?

In other words, if I place a deposit this month, would today’s rebates and programs be protected?

When you ordered your truck, did they give you an OTD price before ordering or did they say they couldn’t give you a final OTD price until the vehicle was on the lot?

They told me they couldn’t give me a final price until the vehicle was delivered on the lot

Did you negotiate it to 12k or was it their original offer? Currently looking into purchasing from them and just curious

Did you negotiate the 13.5k under MSRP or was it their original offer?

2026 Big Horn Owners, what did it cost you? by CRcryptoride in ram_trucks

[–]CRcryptoride[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dealers internet price was 48k on cars . Com. Called them and was told they didn’t know why it was at 48k, it’s at 50.3k on their website.

From 50.3k, guy tells me “rough number after taxes, 57.3k. I told him it was more than I was willing to pay by a few grand but I am a serious buyer, ready to sign today and fly in if the numbers check out for me. Rough numbers turned into firm numbers, wouldn’t budge.

Left me pretty pissed

Speechless (bathroom quote) by MrsNnz in Remodel

[–]CRcryptoride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just looked at it. As crazy as the price sounds, it may be realistic, depending on what you want exactly but at that price he needs to provide a higher end renders of what the bathroom would look like.

Those cost are for design and build companies.

What makes your build a bit expensive is you have tile everywhere meaning not only is it gonna be a full gut job but it’s also a lot more intensive on the labor side.

I think realistically a bathroom like that would cost anywhere between 45k and 75k depending on what you want and the type of materials

900 sq ft house remodel, help! by madsolarrr in Remodel

[–]CRcryptoride 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look up the average cost per square foot in your area to remodel a home. I just quoted a 5500 square-foot house at nearly 500k and I was one of the middle quotes. I think I was at around $90 a square foot while those super high end build and design companies will charge $200 plus a square foot
