I’m going on 1 month in QC hold.

I am in a very similar situation as you. I have 2 identical orders from 2 different dealers placed about 2 weeks apart. The second order started production first and then just sat on QC hold. The first order started production later and then zoomed through and is already shipped. Makes no sense...

If I understood this post correctly, the main other topic I follow is the current owners thread. https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/2025-ram-1500-current-owners-discussion-feedback-and-problems.60046/page-18 It is either people saying how much they love the truck or people with...

I can hope that is the case and that they will be able to get through an unknown amount of already built trucks is a reasonable amount of time.

Official answer on why one truck is on some sort of perpetual QC hold and the other zooms through production is "don't know". Gotta love RAM and their manufacturing. Note, this has nothing to do with Anthony at MD. There is no available info as to why they are being handled differently.

Got an email response from Anthony at MD that my truck with them had been in inspection status since 8/7 (started production on 8/5). The truck I ordered from the local dealer went into production on 8/26 and is already on a train headed to Vegas with an estimated delivery of 9/20. Both were...

That’s a good question. They were both originally sold trucks but then I backed out of the one from the local dealer because the pricing I got from MD was so much cheaper. I still get email updates for both trucks so I’d guess Ram thinks it is a sold vehicle. I’d have to look it up on the...

My dealer did say the truck was done being built but was going to sit in a lot for a while for QC purposes. I just wonder why one updated on the tracker and the other didn’t. Are they both now going to sit for a month or more?

This is interesting. 2 identical trucks ordered at slightly different times through 2 different dealers. First truck ordered earlier, went into production later but then completed earlier than the other truck. Look at the dates. Wonder what would cause one to finish and the other to be in some...

To everyone that has strong feelings about the leather seats actually not being 100% leather, I have a question for you. There has been talk about getting seat covers or actually going so far as to replace the leather and have new leather installed. Both of these options really surprise me. Seat...

I spoke with Anthony about this and he said the following. They do their own inspection to verify everything is 100% before they will load the truck onto a trailer to be shipped and delivered to the customer. If anything happens to the truck in transit there is a separate insurance policy that...

Always a full tank of gas they should never be delivered to have empty or anything other than full

Lucky! (Say that like Napoleon Dynamite)

While I personally don’t care if the seats are 100% leather or are mostly leather, my concern is durability and longevity. Unfortunately the only way to determine that is to put it through its paces and give it time. You at least know with 100% leather that it will last, or at least it should.

The 2K power inverter is not an option at this point in time. If that is on your truck, then theoretically, it may never be built or may only be about once they figure that out, which who knows when that will be? You may be waiting a really long time if you can’t get them to either change the...

I wonder how much of what gets built and what doesn’t is determined by which dealer placed their order. We have seen that orders from Mark Dodge seem to come through quick. I ordered one from a different dealer two weeks before and it is still scheduled whereas the one I ordered through Mark...

That’s a nice change. Goes from Oct 6 to Aug 28. Gives me hope that my truck won’t actually be sitting in storage for 2 months.

What did your estimated ship date say before you got this latest update?

On my Ford, it doesn’t actually have sensors on the wheel to know if your hands are actually on it or not. It just senses if the steering wheel moves or has pressure applied to it. Could it be the same way on your Ram? I get notices to put my hands on the wheel and all I have to do is nudge the...

They obviously do serious volume, and it seems as though their trucks get preferential build dates as well. That’s the only way I can explain why and identical truck ordered through them two weeks after the one from my local dealer is already being produced and the one from my local dealer is...
