Yeah, so did I, but no dealer had one in Florida or southern Ga when I bought my truck. Not only did most dealers refuse to even try to bring one in, but the one who would, wanted FULL STICKER, plus a hefty transfer fee to bring it down.
I even called the north Ga. dealer where it was at to try to go get it and buy it there, but not only would they not budge off list, but wanted $2500 over that because they were new to the market and supply was short!

My choices were basically a CTD 4x4 for $44k and nobody would budge off of sticker, the Power Wagon at $45k, a 2500 Hemi SLT 4x4 for $35k with no rebates and the dealer would only come down $2500 off sticker or the 1500 Laramie 4x4 I ended up buying that stickered for $35k with $4500 in rebates and a $4500 dealer discount.

With the 1500 netting out to $26k, I couldn't justify the cost difference of nearly $20k to get into a CTD or Power Wagon. In hindsight, I prolly shoulda paid the extra $6k or so and got the 2500. I'd have a solid axle truck with at least 38" tires by now... LOL...

yeah, i was really close to buying a power wagon before i got my truck, but there was something fishy about the guy... it was a southern truck and there was some rust in the interior. it was probably a flood truck..

No headers available for the PW, at least not in a Long Tube flavor. Only option is to have them custom built on the truck...
