Here's the deal I just got.
Not as good as it could have been after reading a couple of the other posts, but not bad. I got a QC ST 4x4 w/ hemi, 3.92's, tow, sirius, bedliner, carpet, & cloth seats sticker: $35k, 7k off. The truck is awesome. Runs like a scalded dog and rides like a cadillac.

My insurance jumped a bit - almost $200/yr more. Agent says it is due to the new model year and replacement parts are always more expensive for a year or 2 afterwards. Let's hope they keep building them!
I traded an 06 F150 FX4 (end of lease) and really appreciate the differences - especially the ride, noticeably smoother.
Oh Yeah, that Hemi is A LOT more fun, too!

I personally think that there are still too many '08's out there. With the economy the way it if people are going to by a new truck they will go for an '08 to save some cash. I just bought a new '08 quad cab and I got it for 17k. I do like the new '09's. I just hope that they haven't come too late.

I went to my local dodge dealership a few days ago .
Not a single customer inside, the salesmen were playing cards.
When I got my 2006 , I remember having a hard time finding a parking space anywhere near that dealership.
No interesting deals on the 2009 , depressed look on everybody's face and the usual BS about Dodge not making any deals on the new trucks, only on the 2008
As you may know, Canadians dealers used to lease more than 45% of their vehicules. Dodge lease interest rate being at 15.29%, ford at 9%, and GM not renting anymore, sent a lot of canadian customers in japanese dealerships.
I'll probably get another dodge, simply because I like them more than anything on the market, but this is probably the last. Judging from what I saw, they might not be around for too long around here.

If you have the means and job security, now is the time to buy. I went in, told them what I wanted and ot a penny more and walked out with an 09 Ram. I got a Sport that listed for $38000 out the door for $26,400. So i can't complain.
