Just try to get some prices on new Dodge or Ford is hard.

I truly hope that I did not offend anyone about my posting the last day or so. I see where this posting keeps being taken off the forum. Look below; I tried to clean it up. So, I apologize and hope we can move on now. If not, tell me what I posted that was so offensive.

My son and I again looked and test drove the 2017 Dodge 3500 dually and the 2017 Lariat Ford this Sunday. The Ford seems to be better built over all fit and finish. The motor area on the Ford is crammed/ very tight which I don’t like. The ride in the rear seat of the 2017 Dodge is very sharp compared to the 2017 dually Ford my 38-year-old son said after riding in both trucks. He said my wife would not like the riding in the rear set of the Dodge at all. Have you men and or owners of either truck road in the back seat of a dually for a 100 trip or more to see how it feels? Front seat is OK but, in the back seat of a dually can be a whole different story for a long trip for others.

As I am posting this to date, the big problem is that I cannot get any prices from an auto broker, the dealers in Idaho for a new 2017 Dodge or Ford. Over all for approximately two weeks I been have trouble getting prices for a new 3500 Dodge Dually or a Ford to do a comparison from most anyone. I must of send out over a dozen inquiries and called and repeatedly called back but, only got little or no response.

What am I doing wrong? I send out my specifications I would like to have for either truck. Also, I keep calling and witting to back. All I gotten from most parties is a person saying O yes, we well get right back to you.

I would very much like to get some prices for a Ford Lariat 3500 4X4, four door and a Dodge dually to compare. Through Costco and the local dealer, the best price I can get is just under $70,000.
Not trying to be cheap or tight. Just trying to be a well informed shopper and get a fair price. Maybe the new 2017 3500 Dodge Daullies are better than the 2017 Fords. I really don’t know for sure.

    You should be able to get prices from local dealers. MSN has lust and dealer cost, or did via the auto news part. As have other sources thru the years.
    With that. Subject done for 4th or 5th time.

  • Have you sent emails to the "fleet sales" divisions of these dealers? That's what I did with my Tundra and got immediate responses with prices.
  • I personally found nothing wrong with your previous post. I would like to know the same information myself because I will soon be in the market. Just smart thinking on your part if you ask me.
