Just got the email that the truck has landed! Have to wait 48 hours before being able to pick it up. What a roller coaster after the pushed date yesterday.
Congrats! Send pictures! What do they do in those 48 hours? Do they inspect the truck or something? @StickVA - did yours come too?

Per their email:

This involves a pre delivery inspection, a full detail and of course a full tank of gas. It will take a minimum of 48 business hours from the time your vehicle arrives from the manufacturer to being ready for pick up.

So hopefully Friday I can pick it up and then stare at it in the garage all weekend. I asked that they not detail it as it is going to my detailer in a few weeks for correction, PPF, and coating but no real harm done if they do end up washing it.

Not yet, still shows 3/13 as the ETA but I am guessing it will update overnight.
My ETA is 3/21. I just got an email today that the t4uck is built but it was built back on 2/19 according to pizza tracker and @triple_B ...so hoping the 3/21 gets bumped up. But I'm fine to wait. Can't wait to see everyone's trucks!

Our trucks had almost identical build times and I also have an ETA of 3/21 with no movement. If it's true that only one train goes VA per month, then I'm guessing I won't have any progress until 3/15 or so since that's when previous months have seen VA shipments.

Not sure how many of my posts you read but the train wasn't the issue for me, it was the final trip from the rail yard to the dealer. 2 days to go from SHAP to Jessup and then 14 days to go 40 miles from Jessup to Koons.

I hope everyone get their trucks quickly, but the good news is that you’ll be at roughly 2 months since ordering. We’re at 6 months since ordering. I know production has only been going for about 3 months, but it’s very frustrating to watch recent orders get built, shipped, and delivered while we sit around waiting for weeks at every stage. You’re one of the lucky ones to be where you are.

You might have gotten lucky on the train timing. I can't remember who said it, but someone mentioned Ram only sending 1 train a month to VA and it's always around the 15th. Either way, not complaining since it has been so quick for me so far but a bit more transparency into the time frames sure would be nice.

Yea I don't agree with me getting my truck quicker than earlier orders. I'm obviously happy I am but it doesn't feel right.
It sounds like our trucks will be on the same train to VA together, whenever that day happens.

I’m glad you are getting it fast. Some of us are just getting played for fools.

You don’t need to feel bad. Just tell the others something like this:

Three hours is too quick. Prep should take at least an hour to an hour and a half. Porters cleaning and removing all the shipping plastic should be the same. If it only took 3 hours from the truck arrived at the dealer, until it was delivered, it wasn't done properly.
