So it begins ... Medina Auto Mall in Ohio is the seller
Dealer needs its ass kicked. Hopefully no one is willing to pay that.

This is misrepresented IMO since I know my local dealers ordered them for stock and not pre sold. Each dealer ordered 2.
Let me guess...your buyin one from each dealer...:giggle::giggle:

702 LEs allocated based primarily upon prior truck sales. LE and initial regular TRX allocations were doled out in May. Many dealers received none and only figured it out when they tried to place orders Tuesday morning (shades of Bob Frederick and the Hellcat release). I imagine the Regional Reps were pretty busy answering calls and conveying the news. My dealership received allocation for 3 LE and 7 regular. LE were gone by 10, all sold orders at MSRP Regular were gone by 5, all sold orders at MSRP.

Well this explains why every dealer in the Midwest can get me a TRX!

All they sell are trucks and Jeeps and 7 of them that I called all had a LE available Tuesday morning. I passed on them as i don't care for the color.

I want this truck but I might wait for the initial hype to die down. Ford was cranking out 25-30k Raptors a year and if FCA was serious about cutting into it, they won't limit the TRX. I'll plunk down an order this fall and hope for a spring delivery

Post your orders if you'd like. The point of this is to hopefully help others get better deals than ADM and even MSRP!
Looks like production finally started, so now we'll order one.

Called a few local dealers, one of which wanted 10K over, and one wanted MSRP.
Called my go-to out of state dealer, and will get about 8K off MSRP, which is just over 77K.

Uh, uh, not me. But her 2-door to crewcab ratio will now be a dismal 50/50.

If history has taught us anything, these TRX's will be easy to get in the $60-70k range in a couple years. Gosh they are awesome, but I will be waiting to see the real world MPGs, it's supposed to be really bad...,

that’s really awesome.

I’ve been calling my local guy and he keeps saying they won’t hit the floor until April may. All the preorders are sold out.

I can’t believe you got 8k off msrp. That’s crazy right now. Most deals aren’t moving off price from new vehicles because they’re just selling them like hot cakes.

Thanks. Do keep in mind that this is an ordered vehicle. And that's the beauty of this little dealership - they need sales to maintain dealership status, and while I'm sure they make decent money on most sales, everybody I've referred have been very happy.
Needless to say, I am, too. And it gives me a chance to hook up a trailer and go for a 900-mile road trip, which I'm already looking forward to.

Funny thing is, you are forced to learn it as a kid and could care less...then as an adult you can't get enough! ;)

History and behavioral tendencies repeat themselves. Not more educated in history than most but have my degree in economics and am a certified behavioral analyst.

FCA launch editions haven't shown real incremental valuable. They aren't Lamborghini Sian FKP37's.

The "gotta be first" folks will have the fever (like the Barrett Jackson car auction folks) and burn the cash. That's fine if you have the coin and it doesn't matter. I try not to be a hater :LOL:

I got my 2015 Hellcat at midyear '15 from my regular dealer, meeting half way between MSRP and Invoice.
Got my 16 Hellcat in late '16 at 13K off MSRP (no Power Dollars back then).
Got my 19 Redeye WB in Sublime, just the way I wanted it, last January at 14K off MSRP (with Power Dollars in play).

I'll wait it out with the belief that my behavior, economics and history will pay off with a relatively short wait. It has worked up till now. Wish they'd make it in Quadcab with short bed!

I hope y'all who are Jonesing for a TRX now are able to land one at a solid price. Will celebrate for you and anxiously wait to hear your reviews. Dealers try to get what they can, nature of the beast. Many are having a tough time now and see an opportunity to add a bit of gravy. I try not to hate the player...hate the game instead.

Ha! Fought full contact in the 70's, starting before there were the marshmellow gloves and feet used today in martial arts competition. Can grapple but not professional wrestling style :eek:.

Lunatic Fringe...a state of mind :LOL:

Very little. Color, Level 1, tonneau cover, brake control (strictly for resale), and the blind spot stuff.
