Actually the dealers don't know any more than Ram Chat. They can access the same status sheet that is updated by FCA to give them d, d1, build sheet, I, JB,JS, Window Sticker. Then they can get some tracking info after it is invoiced to the dealer.

I have been showing him the charts we have that shows the randomness of it all. He pretty much verified what I have said here. No miss-information to manage my anxiety and anticipation. Now we can have frank discussions. Also no real need to bug him. He can't do anything to help. The dealers are powerless. They can submit an order and possibly a modification to the order and then wait. Just like us.
haven't you seen the dealer connect website postings here?

dealers see a lot.

I'm a 150 rebel. But I see the 186 is a GT. Only thing I can think of is they want the GTs out first so they can gather data on all the problems they may have with them.😂
I’m 142 and a G/T still no movement out of D and I’ll probably get the manual folding mirrors.

Been looking through the window stickers for some of the trucks and got burned out pretty quick. I'm trying to see if anyone has received a build sheet or window sticker for a truck with Mountain Brown/Lt. Frost Beige interior. Everything I've found so far has black interiors. Ram chat says they are waiting on parts for my build but they can't say what parts. Only oddball thing I can see about my order is the color for the inside.
i only checked the big horn/lone star and Laramie window stickers listed in our tracker. I found one with black and frost beige interior. If that is an option in others let me know and I can check more

Glad I came here...

Preparing to put in an order for a mostly optioned 22 Rebel. On my build sheet it shows Rebel Level B which slightly differs from the Level 2 I was certain it shows on the online builder. They already made me aware I can't have BSM or Cross Path Detection which I have slightly made peace with. But to now not even get power folding mirrors on a $70k truck....not happening especially where I live and parking is already tight in 90% of the spots.

With all that said, has anybody successfully swapped to power folding/heated mirrors afterwards? One would assume the wires are already there and presumably the switch plate on the door panel might be the same? Looking at part catalogs it's nearly $500-600 to buy the mirrors....Ram's "Level B" is only $70 difference that is a joke! Ultimately, if I can negotiate said cost into my order and they can swap the mirrors at a later date when they are available I could live with that. If not, I might have to walk which is unfortunate and would seem crazy for mirrors but I haven't had manual mirrors on any of my last 5-6 vehicles in the last 10 years!

This is exactly the status sheet I was talking about. The dealers and Ram Chat can access this. All it tells you is the status it is in, in this case KZ and what and when it left the last status. In this case Body Vendor (JB) on 9-28-21. It also says that there is no shipping date yet. That is all there is that is meaningful to the progress of the order. The rest can be found on the POC. Ram Chat will tell you all of this and your dealer can't tell you any more than this.

Just did a search on all the build sheets I have (over 29,000). I come up with 79 Limiteds with ORG.
Eighty, have you run across any trucks your tracking ordered with the opition XN1 trailer surround view camera system get on any build sheets? Thanks

since my update yesterday on my new estimated ship date of October 25 2021

my dealer just called me and said my truck has been invoiced to them. So if he’s telling the truth I should have a window sticker tonight and hopefully lay eyes on my truck within a week…
Estimated shipping date means less than nothing
And I am sooo excited
153768 VIN 22 rebel, Level II equipment etc etc
That gives me hope since I am a few days behind you.

While I am still on the fence on if I will actually purchase my order since I am regretting several selections I did not make, I still want it delivered and see if physically being in it will sway me.

I'm not so sure ramchat can see all that.
I was stuck in Inspection for quite a while. When I would complain about being there for 18 days for example, the would come back with I show 16 days actually. This happened more than once with different people. The only way they can know that is from the info on the status sheet.

Extremely helpful! So in essence it's more than I feared. Mirrors, switch, and modules needed for nearly $1,500. Ram is omitting this feature and charging the same amount for the Rebel Level B package? That is effin crooked on more levels than one. At least on my wife's car when BMW did this they offered the amount off MSRP for each item omitted for the actual cost of said part/package.

Haha...actually I checked, got the email in August.

But seriously, I want more people to get added to that email list, so that we can show that it's not cool to ship out non-ordered trucks FIRST.

When I went to dealership on Monday GM told me didn’t know what was going on with my order from June (4x2, vin 111937) and can no longer honor trade in value from June quote. So I cancelled my order and then ordered same truck but in 4x4. Last night he calls me and says cannot get Ram Box and the electric folding heated mirrors not avail either! UGH!!!
Ouch! that sucks
