My shortbed f250 could handle a smaller camper, but we want a 9-10' one, and still be able to pull other toys.
Enter a new ram! Looking at getting a 2019 tradesman 3500 drw, with the hemi. I've always heard go to Dave smith, but lately I'm hearing alot about Dennis dillion as well.
Does one stand out above the other in any way?
Thanks for the info!

I kept looking on line at Dave Smith for rigs. I think they use every tracking cookie imaginable. Dave Smith pops up on every page I open now.
Yep. I've been on their website twice, and it's on every popup imaginable.
I like that Dennis dillon has prices posted on their website.

I just could never understand how they sold that many rigs, but I couldn't come close with them...... :dunno: :dunno: :dunno:
They sell a billion rigs, so they must be doing something right.

Had a number of ram 2500 deisels in the 42k - 52k range last fall.

I am sure you are being truthful.

The staff told me when I was there they sell between 1200-1500 rigs a month. They also have seven shuttles that pick people up from the airport. Some of the vehicles are never even seen by the buyer at the dealership because they are shipped directly to them.

Do you avoid salestax that way, or did they catch up on that and nail you now.

If the vehicle is purchased in another state and you DO pay taxes in that state, you better have a way to prove you paid taxes on it whenever you bought it. If no proof (even if bought 20 years ago), you will then pay taxes (on KBB value) again in Wa when tag and title happens.

I've purchased quite a few fleet rigs from Dave Smith. It's quick and easy, and they'll ship them to me for a fair price. Fleet is a different animal though, with the discounts we get thru our Equipment Manufacturer, there is basically no haggling.
Just goes to show it's worth shopping around I guess.

The Bellingham Chrysler dealer (Rairdon's) matched Dave Smith's offer on my wife's jeep, after tax, which surprised me.

Yeah we have a thing through my work where we can pay the same rates they pay, which takes the haggling out of it. Buddy used it to buy an f150 last year, but the end of year clearance discounts were more.
I'm going to get that info so I can see what the price would be. If I can get it close to Dave smith or Dennis dillon's prices, I may just buy local. (X pricing is the same at every dealer supposedly).
Anyone have an idea of how long it takes to build and ship a truck?

I ordered my last truck and it took just shy of 3 months. I was told 6 to 8 weeks. GM

Had a great sales guy at Dave Smiths. All over the phone. Had talked to him about getting the bed rhino-lined. When I went to pick it up and went to look at the truck he had it rhino-lined and just threw it in. Then after all the paperwork and as we were leaving he said to be sure to check the glove box on the way home. Wife opened it and there was a bottle of Crown and a nice thank you note. We made a weekend of it and went to Silverwood as well.
Oh and i did go back to the guy here in Yakima with my brand new truck just to make the point......

I bought my 02 Ram from Dave Smith. Same story, was a few thousand less than any other dealer. And I checked them all. I will never forget the sales guy here in Yakima when i told him what they were going to sell me the truck for and I would rather buy it here. He said 'Son no one can sell you that truck for that price.' He was wrong - what a tool.

They tried screwing me couple years ago on a trade in then another dip sh it stepped in and was a straight up jerk after i told him i bought a truck at grandview dealership. wont ever buy from them. He was calling me a liar and said I didnt buy one down there and said he even called down there to check, that is until i took a picture of the license plate and texted it to him.

I have bought 4 new Rams from them and recently 2- 2017 GMC’s and 2018 Chev truck for our company . I have never found a better out the door price, and I have spent some time doing the research. I had them ship the 2 trucks in 2017 to our door for $1200.00 for both which was worth every penny.

The Yakima dodge dealer is a joke. I bought my truck in for warranty work and the Yakima dodge dealer refused because I did not buy from them. The Yakima Toyota dealer is a crook too. Way over charge for repair s and won’t match other dealers ‘ price s
