I've been considering a new truck, since my old one is a bit noisy and DW has been making noises about getting something more comfortable. So I went looking for a new 2013 Ram CTD CC SB 2WD -- or something close to it -- just to drive it & see if the high cost of a new one would be worth it. Come to find out I can't locate a new 2WD CTD within 100 miles of Atlanta! The trucks in stock are all 4WD. Weird. Did I miss something?

My Ram they had to get over 700 miles away. But I'm glad I have the 2wd. If you're going to spend that kind of money on a truck, get exactly what you want.

I live 100 miles east of Houston. Dealer had to go to Ft. Worth, over 300 miles, for mine. Everything within 200 miles were 4x4 and Z71's. Neither of which I wanted.

If you aren't in a big hurry I would suggest ordering it, that way you can get it just the way you want it. Figure about 2 months to get it on the average.

Test drive a 4x4, if you like it order a 2WD just the way you want it.

Go for the 4X4. You'll get your money back out of it when you sell it.

I was at the Dodge dealer today having an oil change and a couple of reflashes done. Took a walk around their lot and they had 2013 CTDs on the lot and they were 3/4 4x4. Plenty of 2wd 1/2 tons. They stock what sells.

bmanning,

Don't you think it's about time for the 2013's to finally be delivered as it's about the end of the 2013 model year production and only a month or so from changeover for the 2014 model.

Maybe the Mexican workers where they are made are have got a burr under their saddle?

Does this mean 13 HD Rams 4x4s are on lots?

Have I missed something? LOL

More demand equals more 4X4 trucks. Might take 3 to 6 months before you see what you want
