4 wheel drive adds like 3 to 4k to the overall price of the truck...When I traded in my 05 F150 last september they were trying to sell me on a 2010 Regular Cab/Long bed 2 wheel drive for like 17 and change with all these rebates and shit they added to it...But it was barebones as all hell, Literally Manual everything.
I wasnt about to downgrade from an Extended cab 4 Wheel drive truck to that thing...So they asked me what I wanted...and what my number was for my payment. After insulting me with a number 60 dollars OVER what i said i would go...I got up and walked away from the salesman. They then still came back over what my number was and I started to walk out of the dealership completely.
7 hours later and me flat out telling them if they dont come down to the number i gave them there was no deal I was walking out...I drove home in this.
2008 Ram 1500 Big Horn Edition 4x4 Power EVERYTHING It was a huge upgrade from the Ford...and I love it. its the 4.7 Not the Hemi...Although it has alot more punch and tq than the 4.6 in the Ford had.
just stick to your guns when you shop for cars and dont let the dealer walk on you...If you know what you can afford, tell them...if they cant get you to that goal...then go elsewhere. and if you cant get what you want elsewhere...then you shouldnt be buying a new vehicle in the first place.
