<br />In another obvious sign of the times, Dodge is launching its brand new and totally redesigned 2009 Ram half-ton pickup truck with <a href="http://www.autonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080922/ANA06/809220389/1178/rss01&amp;rssfeed=rss01">incentives</a> right out of the gate. Purchasers who only need a regular cab will get $500 off the Ram's base price of <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/13/2009-dodge-ram-priced-from-22-170/">$22,170</a> before options while those looking to get a quad cab or crew cab will get double that amount off their new truck. We're sure that potential buyers won't be complaining, but it's a far cry from the 40% savings being offered on '08 Rams. We verified these numbers by using <a href="http://www.dodge.com/en/2009/ram_1500">Dodge's</a> online configuration tool, which does not yet allow you to order up the innovative RamBox option. That lockable storage unit is built right into the bed rail of the pickup and will <a href="http://www.autonews.com/article/20080922/ANA06/809220373/1197/rss01&amp;rssfeed=rss01">reportedly</a> run you $1,850. That seems pretty reasonable considering that Dodge is the only brand offering this type of storage solution. Still not sold? Did you know that a RamBox is nearly big enough to <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/28/video-mike-levine-attemts-to-fit-himself-in-the-dodge-rambox/">fit an adult man</a>? Pretty cool, that. Expect to see the RamBox option come online in early November.<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-dodge-ram-1/low/">2009 Dodge Ram</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-dodge-ram-1/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/04/09ds_std_cab_st_6ft_box_trx_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-dodge-ram-1/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/01/dg009_002rm_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-dodge-ram-1/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/01/dg009_003rm_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-dodge-ram-1/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/01/dg009_004rm_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-dodge-ram-1/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/01/dg009_005rm_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.autonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080922/ANA06/809220389/1178/rss01&amp;rssfeed=rss01">Automotive News</a> - sub. req'd]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/09/22/2009-dodge-ram-launches-with-incentives-rambox-costs-1-895/">2009 Dodge Ram launches with incentives, 'RamBox' costs $1,895 </a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Mon, 22 Sep 2008 10:29:00 EST.

It seems that GM has finally anted up and increased the incentives for the Silverado, Avalanche and Sierra trucks, along with the Tahoe, Yukon, Escalade and Suburban. The pickups all get $2,000 in customer cash to go along with an extra $3,000 if you already own a GM product for a total of $5,000 total off the sticker price. Those shopping for an SUV will even get an extra grand. In what may be an even larger sign of the times, for the first time ever GM's hybrid Tahoe and Yukon get $4,000 off, but only if you already own a product from the General.<br /><br />If you want to get in on the savings and don't mind guzzling some gas, you have until June 7 to make it to your nearest Chevrolet or GMC dealer. No rush, we doubt there'll be a line.<br /><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&amp;sid=aTE1b2NtzlwY">Bloomberg</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/10/gm-jacks-up-incentives-on-trucks-and-suvs/">GM jacks up incentives on trucks and SUVs</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Tue, 10 Jun 2008 07:59:00 EST.
