The economy is less than perfect at the moment for many of us. Especially for those who are driving around in the large SUV’s and pick-up trucks. Yet, there might just be a small silver lining to it all. Dealers are working over-time to try to get rid of the 2008 Dodge Rams so that they will have room for the 2009 models that are arriving any day now. How are they pulling people in? Taking $13,000 off the price tag is a sure fire way to attract most anybody.

This means that your wife might actually let you buy the 1500 Quad Cab SLT 4×2 Dodge Ram for $19,995 instead of $32,795. Consumers can’t help being picky about what they are driving on the road thanks to the increase in gas prices – but dealers are also reluctant to trade in any trucks.

Dodge is hoping that the large discount is enough to bring in consumers. For now the Dodge Ram has been discounted the most. Yet, in the end it will all come down to the gas prices. A dealer in Ohio said it all, “Until we get gas under three bucks a gallon, these pickups are not going to move.”
