Would love to know when building opens up next week, if they will start with 2022 or will they finish up any left over 2021’s.

Last time I checked donlen site, 2022 start 8.25.2021

I guess we'll find out next week (who gets build sheets). To be honest, I think we should disregard the Donlen info. It doesn't appear to be accurate for personal purchases (it's probably for fleet purchases).

I hope you're right! I'm curious to see how everything plays out for 2021 orders that our friends in Canada have placed.

@Eighty - When you say "who gets build sheets", is that something that comes from the assembly plant to the dealer or straight to the owner? Getting caught up. It's been 15 years since I ordered a new vehicle!

There are still TRX guys waiting for their 21's as well. I'm curious as to how many 21's haven't been built yet. At this point, I'd convert all those to 22's and call it a day

I wonder if there is a logistical issue with that? Reassigning VINs, costs, etc?

Refresh my memory, but a build sheet just means your vehicle has been scheduled a start date?

It affects number of vehicles produced, probably plays into some marketing of most trucks sold, etc. I'm sure there is something behind the scenes in having to reassign all those VINs. I'd venture to say that you'd have to stop ordering for a certain amount of time to get those converted and not run into new orders, then scheduling thos ahead of others. I could see it turning into a logistical nightmare. Easier to just build out the remaining 21s and then pick up with the 22s. My hope is that there aren't many and the 8/7 date is more accurate. While I don't mind waiting, I'd like my truck by October at the latest. I'll have a pile a of parts and the weather will still be decent around then. lol

Oh, me too for sure. Hunting season starts in October around these parts. I'd love to see mine come rolling in before then.

Your Printed Order Confirmation (POC) should have your VIN and status. Most 22s are in D status which basically means that it was accepted and a VIN was issued. An actual build sheet will show all the parts going into the truck.

You and I are close in VIN's, we ordered on the same date, we hopefully.

All of the following have supply constraints: Pano roofs, Ram Boxes, Multi-Function Tailgates, some items in the Technology Group, air suspension. Depending upon when you ordered they may or may not have your parts. From my Sales Manger’s mouth a few minutes ago, “ production for 22s start August 26th.” He basically looked at his chart while we were on the phone. They also have a chart depending upon when you ordered as to when you should expect delivery to the dealership. My order was 6/25 and he’s now saying September-October for my vehicle. Previously it was August- LOL.
He also stated that they are still building 21s for sold orders till August and mentioned something about a shutdown but I can’t remember the date.

Interesting. Couple of things that have me wondering how true all of this information is (it's not that I don't believe YOU, I'm skeptical of the information you were given):
  • August 26th is a Thursday. Seems like a very odd date to start production on the new model year. JULY 26th is the first day after the planned shutdown, and is a Monday. So I'm wondering if he really meant July 26th. This might be wishful thinking on my part.
  • Your dealer is saying September/October for your build. I know that the trucks won't be built sequentially like my spreadsheet assumes, but even if it did, I'm already optimistically showing your truck in early September. So realistically, even my spreadsheet should be putting you in that September/October range. If the start of production is really on August 26th, there's no way in hell that you'd be getting your truck in September...even October is probably a stretch.
  • Not sure who your dealer is, but I wonder what this chart is. My dealer appears to know far less about 2022 production than this forum does. Does your dealer have some secret insider-only information, or is he just doing what we're doing and making wild assumptions?
I'm obviously hoping that he's dead wrong on this. But I suspect that my rose-colored-glasses spreadsheet is also dead wrong.

Last comment. Every effing thing you listed as a "supply constraint" item is on my build. :(

Right now...until 2022 models are being built, it's hard to figure out when stuff is being built.

Last time I saw around here, 2021 builds are still behind schedule. That doesn't even include any features that might not be included,which other car makers are doing to try and have more inventory.

I'm going to bet that most of the orders that are placed by us have tons of extra features, that require more chips (tech package, safety features, pano roof, etc), and therefore reduce production numbers.

Updated for @ski107, @Bathtub , and @Surfnurse311. Still no changes to the assumptions, but I expect that we'll know more this week (and push dates back).
