I am seeing the first Ivory paint job coming in transit to a local dealer near me on the Ram website. It is my first semi-sighting! Anyone see an Ivory on a dealer lot yet?

no, but there's a bunch in transit in the limited and longhorn in the southern jersey, maryland,delaware, and pa. within 150 miles from me. i do check on them every day. i'm sure mine was built around the same times as these were. i ordered my limited in the color the first day it was available.

Ordered a Limited on May 4th...still in D status as of yesterday (I'm guessing the Ramboxes are doing it). A few more days and I can at least escalate it through customer service, for what its worth...I'm assuming my dealer will do that to as they firm priced me on my trade in and I'm racking up the miles on my Durango while Ram takes their sweet time building the new truck :p

Ordered a 2019 RAM 1500 Laramie Longhorn with e torque and rambox, and just about everything else. The order was placed first of May. Have been told by area manager that they are going to begin building etorque units June 1st. I am currently in D status.
From Previou experience when I ordered my current 2013 model Laramie Longhorn, it took a full month to get the truck once it was confirmed as built. I am being told that the truck will definitely be delivered to me by the end of July. That would mean that from order to delivery, it would have been 3 months. This is exactly how long it took to get my current truck. From the posts here , it seems that production in that time period is unlikely. Has anyone here had luck with a three month build?

This one appeared recently near me on a Longhorn.

Now this one I saw the other day which to me has me really confused. I chose a Limited over Longhorn for a few different reasons. Painted bumpers were one of the reasons yet there is this. How is this an option on a Longhorn?

Very strange. Additionally, that would be the first Ivory I've seen. Looks way more bright white than I expected

There have for sure been a few 2019s from date of order to delivery that have been under three months. Someone on here got his in a month I think. Personally I think he made a blood sacrifice to get it that fast but who knows.

Honestly though in your case I would not hold my breathe at all. There just isn’t anything to go by and has been ZERO media attention or updates from FCA on the status of the etorque engines really. I would view a 12 week build as your goal but it’s hard to say.

Ya, that was me. I only had to sacrifice one child. But it was worth it. LMAO.
I did order May 1st and it was on the lot today for me to see. I did not order Ram Box, E-Torque, nor E-Locker though. That may have had something to do with it.
I live 30 minutes away from the factory, know many chrysler employees, and Etorque may not start till July. From what I hear. That is nothing more than a line worker telling me his thoughts though.

I orded mine with a cash deposit from Gladstone Dodge (Missouri) on May 7, only to be notified by my salesman yesterday that the "order can’t be placed by FCA." Sounds odd....as FCA is in the business of selling trucks. My order was for a Laramie, 5.7 with the Level 2 and Advanced Safety packages in Black Forest Green.. Several of these (other than the color) are in circulation. Nothing unusual about the order, I simply wanted the right color and interior. I built the truck on the Ram website, and brought the printout to the dealer. I have opened up a request with FCA to look into the issue. I am finding some good deals online, so I may forgo my favorite color and get one off a lot. Frustrated by the dealer more than FCA at this time.

I thought I had heard early on that FCA was limiting the colors that could be ordered at the beginning of production? Did your dealer give you an order number?

E-torque update. Email from Ram Customer Care about my case. According to the representatives sources, E-torque equipped Rams are now in production.
