It's been almost a week in the "Vehicle Built" status, and it is not in either online inventory. Maybe custom orders don't show up in the customer-facing systems. I got the email for the completed build yesterday - five days after the build completed.

I was losing hope, but they did build my Laramie, and today it has a window sticker. It has everything I ordered. I did not get the hands-off driving option, but it has the active driving assist. So it does have the parts that are in short supply. They are building them, just not as fast as we...

I just checked my order online a bit ago, and the status changed to "Vehicle Built" on 4/30. It still is not in either online inventory. Hopefully, it will show up at the dealer in the next few weeks.

I was notified that my Laramie with Level 2 was being built last Wednesday (4/17). However, it still has not shown up in the Being Built inventory. I assume both online inventories are not kept up-to-date. It will be interesting to see how long it takes to appear online. Currently, the delivery...

I honestly don't trust anything a salesman says, but he did say they come in through a port in CA. I didn't question him at the time, but I'll follow up on it now that there is an estimated delivery date. It seems crazy that they would not use rail. I guess it is possible that the rail...

The status of my Laramie Level 2 / Adv Safety / Tow / ORP / Night changed to "In Production" last night. The estimated delivery date is 7/1/2024. I am on the West Coast and was told they come by ship. That may be the reason for the long transfer time. This truck was ordered in early March. My...

On 3/27, it was assigned a VIN and the status was: D - Firm schedule:serial number is assigned. That sounds like they are getting ready build it.

Last night, I got an email from my dealer. He said it should arrive in early May and it will be their first 2025 to arrive.

It has Laramie Level 2, ORP, Towing packages, Night Edition, and Advanced Safety.

Neither of the Ram site's inventory lists shows my truck, but my dealer's website does. The Ram order tracking does not show a build date, but it says it is in the production queue. My dealer says my truck is shipping on April 23rd, so I am hopeful the higher trims and advanced options are...

He said the clearance is tight, and caliper placement fluctuates enough that 18s don't fit on many newer 1500 trucks. Custom Offsets probably received too many returns, so they are now telling customers to not even try. That doesn't mean 18s will never fit. It's hit-and-miss and costly to ship...

I really wanted 18s for my 2025 Laramie, but after talking to Custom Offsets this week, that doesn't seem possible. They said the recent 1500s are just too inconsistent with 18s. The same 18" wheel will fit some 1500s but not others, and they no longer recommend any after-market 18 on a new 1500.

On Friday, I was notified that my custom order has been scheduled and is in the production queue. It’s a Laramie with a lot of packages.

I am getting a 2025 Laramie with the ORP, and I want to switch from the 22-inch rims to 18-inch. I am looking at the Fuel Rebels with Toyo Open Country A/T III. I'd like to get LT285/70R18 (33.7x11.5) tires if possible, otherwise LT275/70R18 (33.2x11.0). I plan to keep the suspension stock and...

Finally, a VIN has been assigned to my 2025 Laramie order. The dealer says they hope to have a ship date in the next few weeks. The order has the Level 2 and ASG packages, which they haven't started building yet. Just my hunch... I can't see them shipping 2025s until they unload the 2023s and...
