Anyone seen a 19' with the Rambox yet?

Off topic, but in the third picture I noticed the different tail lights on the red truck. Is that just a lower trim or a Canadian model?

That got me to wondering, do those with the Laramie or higher tail lights - do you get enough reverse light out of the them? It looks like you'd get quite a bit more backup light out of the red truck's tail lights.

The red truck has the base Tradesman/Big Horn lights. Opting for the LED lights with the Big Horn gets the the other lights.

That red truck is a Big Horn with the standard incandescent tail lights.

I just noticed that the black Limited in the 2nd and 4th photos doesn't have the dual exhaust. Any idea why?

That's a good catch! Has to be a V6, right?

That's a little disheartening for all those waiting on Hemi eTorque/Rambox builds that they've already got a Rambox V6 built when they are not even available...

According to the Ram site, the V6 isn't available on the Limited. Only the two versions of the 5.7L

Most of the trucks with the Ramboxes looks to have the same tonneau cover I have on my 2015. I wonder if they are demo models?? I don't think Mopar has made available a tonneau for the 2019 with Rambox. Plus no window stickers........

So these might not be shipping to the general public as sold orders

That is a good catch, I didn't even notice to be honest, I just got home from work and watermarked these and threw them up as quick as I could for you guys. I'll have to do some digging around on it.

Maybe, just maybe you can get the V6 in a Limited. Same exhaust pipe as this V6 Tradesman Sport tester.

I thought Ram stated from the launch that the V6 would be the standard on Longhorn and Limited with the Hemi being an upgrade. They just don't show it on the website because you can't even order a V6 yet.

Exactly...if those are just testers or show models I understand but if they really are building production V6 models with Ramboxes before building sold orders that are waiting that would really **** me off, since the rambox appears to be the reason our orders are delayed.

First the V6 was standard, then it was unavailable in Laramie and up trims period, then the Etorque was standard in Longhorns and Limiteds for a few days, then the base Hemi came back as standard with the eTorque Hemi being the option but I haven't seen anything about the V6 being available in the top trims again yet. I'd put money on it that is a V6 truck though if so that means V6s are in production now too, a month earlier than I had heard it would be available. It would also mean that the V6 is now back in the higher trim trucks (obviously).

It is also possible that is an internal test truck.

Could be. When I just looked they had the 5.7L as standard, with the 5.7L eTorque as optional on the Laramie, Longhorn, and Limited. If you build a Big Horn on the Ram site, it shows the V6 as standard, but any trim higher than the Big Horn loses the V6 option...it doesn't even show up. I know the build and price hasn't been super reliable. It could very well be that the Limited will get the V6 option. You'd think they'd find a way to mate the dual exhaust with the V6, especially on a high-end model like the Limited.

They are LED reverse lights - same style I had in my F150. Very bright lights - no issues with them.

Appreciate the enthusiasm but slim, cjgerson and I haven't been built yet.

I do see that RamLimited had his Limited built today at 10am though. I thought Ram would have taken the day off but apparently they must have a backlog ;)
