    Default 2018 RT L

    I have read on here about the problems with the new dash. I waited to long on the 2016 at my dealer ,and it is sold.They have a 2018 rt limited in stock ,but the new dash i do not like also i have a stupid phone not a smart one.HA HA To me i would be better to get the dealer to find me a 2017 RT L,than wast money on a dash i would never get to use to its potential .
    What do you guys think ?

    Yes. Look for a new '17. Big discounts on "left overs" now.

    Yes, Some dealers can offer you 4500.00 off on the 2017. And the dash is user friendly! I am going to do it.. Have you ridden one?

    My local dealer does not do demos, so no i have not test road one yet. In my area there is a $ 3000 discount of msrp, seems the US get much better discounts.I am trying to get my dealer to bring in a 2017 RTS or RT L .

    Another look for a 2017 card on the pile. There is a current offer of $4,500 off of SELECT 2017 models. So far, with two threads running about the subject--not much concrete information.

    I have a question,what is the big difference from a RT limited over a RTS .Seems like a big dollar difference ,and not many changes.I can not find a brochures for the 2017, so i built each and only see a dollar change .BRP build site is down right now ,so i have to what to check.
    It looks like the only difference is limited has GPS, suit case for the frunk, and modual for trailer and chrome for $2800 Can.

    There is a 2017 RTL for $20,500 with 600 miles on here in the WTB section. That seems like a very good price to me and worth checking out.

    you get a GPS and chrome trim on RTL vs black trim on the RTS.
