Well, I finally got it all dialed in as to what I wanted. And, struck a deal. $86,645 MSRP $74,621 DEAL and no quibbling on getting good value for my trade. It's not a "steal" but considering that there isn't one other truck that we want, with the features we want, and the colors we want within about 400 miles - I'm ok with that.
In fact, my local dealer is trading a vehicle for the truck I want, with a dealership that is over 300 miles away. So, it's ok - we get the truck we want (which is rare!) at a very reasonable, if not crazy, low price. And we don't have to leave our local environs to get it.
It's a Longhorn, MEGA Cab, Dually, 1000 ft lb engine/Aisin, Auto level air suspension, dual alternators, Towing Technology Group, prepped for 5th wheel, 360ยบ cameras, Harmon Kardon 17-speaker sound system, 12" UConnect, Black and Tan interior, Cold Weather group, yada, yada, yada.
These photos are not of my exact truck, but are essentially clones of the one I'm buying - they're illustrative of the colors, features, etc.

It's essentially a Limited, but with a much more beautiful interior - and a sleeker, cleaner looking grill.
I'm trading in a 2019 RAM 1500 Limited pickup that I've had for a year and a half, so I already really know the truck. I will feel right at home from the first minute behind the wheel.
We're kind of bored with all-black interiors anymore, so this one really appeals to us - visually.

Kind of a "Cowboy Cadillac"

The only thing I could do without are the "belt buckles" on the pockets behind the front seats. But I'll never see them from where I sit, so "oh well". No big deal.

The rear seats in the Mega Cab provide an incredible amount of space and fold flat up high, or down low. Our two pit bull/healer mix pups will be riding in style back there!

All the bells and whistles! The wood is real. The leather is real. Ram really did this one UP! Should be fun for daily excursions, as well as pulling a 5er.
