Everything about the system is vague. From what I understand, that system has a harness, for the trailer, and the plug in the right side of the box mounts to the trailer. Then there is a harness that goes between that plug and truck plug. I wish I could find someone who knows about the system. I may have to drive to the tech center and find an engineer. lol.

I believe the system is the same or based around the same system that have been on the HD trucks for the last few years so you may have some luck on the HDRams forum.

Ordered a Flame Red in November with no movement. Dealership ordered the same truck in my backup color in December. I've decided not to wait for the red, but the Excel spreadsheet hasn't changed from "E" for frame, and nothing from my dealer on a POC. I searched the forum and I'm sure I missed it, but most builds I've seen don't take this long to complete, or even move on from frame? Anyone else know if this is normal? Thanks to the admins and those in the know for all you do...

Not really unusual. My truck stayed in E on triple_b tracker from Feb 16 and today my pizza tracker updated to Built. I *think* that perhaps he doesn’t track all of the interim statuses after E. There are many and they move quickly.

Looks like you're one of the very lucky January orders. My original order was Nov 14th. My other order that I'm settling for went into production on the 15th, with no movement since. I won't order from Ram again personally.

Ivory White or Flame Red? I got the GT Package also only because I always modify my vehicles and at least I won't have to do the exhaust and intake, but mostly because I've driven a stick for the past 12 years and I at least still want to do something with a shifter. Going to something without having my left foot on a clutch or right hand on a shifter would have been too much at once!

Also, my dealer just said I'm in JB status and should expect a shipping date next week. It's a Christmas Miracle. I don't know how a few of you have been waiting since September, and sorry....

The problem is, I can't find anyone that knows anything about the system. The only thing I found anywhere, is one sentence in the owners manual, that says plug in 12 pin connector. There is no pictures of connector. No youtubes of truck section, except an auto show video, one guy mentions it's on that show truck. Unless I find out for sure, that I can just plug in an accessory harness to my existing harness, and update software, I will wait, and order when available.
My dad took delivery of a factory order 2500 Limited recently and it has this option. It's on the rear end to the left of the license plate. Small proprietary looking plug. It's hard to imagine it couldn't be added after the fact. I am now curious to trace the wiring and see where it leads.

My sister in law ordered a Tahoe at the start of 2022...no movement by summer and a whole lot of I don't knows from the dealer. Told her ditch him I got a guy and in less than 2 weeks she was driving a brand new Grand Wagoneer. Long story is the delays and rigamarole are not just Ram.

Yup, thank the pandemic hysteria. The world will take years to recover, if ever.

The Chevy online builder straight up tells you certain options aren’t available. For a while they were building trucks without steering wheel lock, heated anything, etc. I’ll give Ram this…. If it’s an option they’ll build it. It may take forever but they build it how you want it. Which is another reason I went Ram over another Silverado. Can’t imagine a 70k+ truck without a heated steering wheel or backup sensors. Just my .02
