This contradicts what I've heard from more or less all sources including the 'good' warranty sellers who aren't trying to drive any local service work.

BUT I've often been looking at this from the context of the (more restrictive) MaxCare warranty so it's possible I'm wrong, but I'd want to be very sure if warranty coverage is important to you :)
I did some researching a few weeks ago when I heard about it. Mopar warranties all their parts regardless of install... I believe is what I read. Warranty is very important to me for this vehicle. When I was younger and had disposable income not so much. Now that Im older yes a very much YES lol.

I guess I’m cheap than lol. I had a $500 rebate from my business but I guess it was true car. Daniel said he had to charge me $300 to use their program so it would only be $200 off the car. My reply was, “I’ll take the $200, thanks!”
I tried to use the True Car $500 incentive and Renee was pretty hesitant because like you said they get charged for that “lead” and pocket the remaining I’m assuming.

Regardless, the True Car deal or any fraction of it was not applied to my truck.

I could tell they really don’t like that incentive because it cuts into their profit, and I got a quick speech from Renee about how they need to make a living too.

Yeah, Daniel told me roughly the same thing about true car, I told him it was no issue if it was a hassle.

Interested to know this too. I want to install 35s right away, and if necessary I'll just set up an appointment with a nearby tire shop. But it sure would be easier to have the tires installed on-site and then the speedo calibrated at the same time (and, dare I hope, receive some sort of credit for the factory tires).
Per Matt the manager Gupton can not buy back your tires or suspension.

How do I go about using this true car? I work for kaiser and they have it. But the FCA TL was worth more.

If you ask, will they not put the dealer sticker on the tailgate?
I asked via email early in the process, it was removed on delivery day, but oddly enough it was there the day before I picked up.
