My sales rep called and emailed me to say the tech group is no longer available. I ordered via phone late July 19th and put a deposit down. 7-22 I asked if they were able to get the truck ordered and he said yes.
I don't personally have my VIN yet, but I figure my order almost certainly has a VIN assigned by now. Yesterday my rep told me they'll have the VIN when the truck is being made and the order to delivery process will be half done then. I don't know why I can't get my VIN when most orders get it right away.
I hope there wasn't a dealer or factory issue that prevented my order from being submitted right after I ordered it (7-19). Something like a computer or human error. Is it possible the dealer was at their limit for July vehicles and had to wait until August to really submit the order to Ram?
Who knows, the truck could show up as ordered in a few months. Now I'm half hoping for a later build date to give the parts supply time to catch up. How the tides have turned!
@Eighty can you add me to the spreadsheet as a wildcard in the corner maybe? Then we can keep record of changed orders.
