    I apologize for the misinformation. Glad your truck is closer to being born!

    That is the normal D1 wording. Your build may start in a few days or up to 30 days.

    F-150 Lightning

    Actually, range may even be a little worse. My wife has a Prius Prime hybrid. Its all electric range is around 34 miles in summer (50-90 degrees typically in SF Bay Area). But it falls to around 27 miles in winter (32 - 55 degrees typically). I believe the range was advertised to be 32...

    My dealer gets a report update each day. He texted me when it hit Indiana and again when it hit Nebraska.

    F-150 Lightning

    The Frunk is a pretty cool concept if the truck had longer range. I agree with doolin64 that the F150 Lightening won't satisfy many (most?) truck buyers. Won't be OK for me because I bought my RAM for road trips. But it can be handy for people with multiple vehicles who can dedicate one for...

    For me, I saw window sticker on 5/15. Shipping ETA was provided 5/16. The ETA was ~1 to 3 weeks out (a two week window). Seems to be generally on track. After 4 days, my truck has moved from Stirling Heights, MI to North Platte, NE. This is about 1/2 way to Benicia, CA where it will be...

    I agree that the escalation is probably just a pacifier. My case manager was "Jeff" -- after he promised to prioritize my build, I got kicked back from D1 to D. While this was going on, I noticed that some other trucks with similar options were going thru weeks faster. Of course, many others...

    I had this happen to me. Turns out the day after it was supposed to ship, my RAM got kicked back to D status. Was very aggravating. When I finally did get my build sheet, I noticed a line saying "D1-to-D Regress" listed in the Optional Equipment section. Funny -- I didn't remember ordering...

    Engine stalled / shut off

    One question to everybody who has experienced this miserable scenario: Do you have auto-parking brake enabled? If so, then the fundamental problem may be the stall. Once this happens, the truck may automatically set the brake. Since I don't have my RAM yet, I can't test to see if this is the...

    Who else’s new RAM looks like this underneath?

    I've followed this thread for the last few days. Went to the dealer today and looked under 5 or 6 brand new RAM 1500s. One looked perfect. All the others were flawed, although none anywhere as bad as the original poster's. My best guess is something in the shipping process scraped the paint...

    Was at dealer's today -- he showed me my RAM's status on his computer. It's traveled from Sterling Heights, MI to Pine, IN. Google maps tells me that is 244 miles. Not a huge distance, but all in the right direction! Only 2,179 more miles to go.....

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Any help with the following would be greatly appreciated. I have a True Car offer offer code for $500 off. I also have a RAM Brand offer for $1000 off. The incentives line told me that I would need to pick one or the other -- they can't be stacked. Has anybody tried this and confirmed/denied...

    You can try talking to the RAM Incentives desk -- they are quite friendly and have been helpful at explaining things to me. 1-800-227-0757

    FishOn's PNW Adventure Build - 2019 Big Horn

    Great travelogue! Definite bummer about the deer; glad to hear it's all repairable. Loved the picture with the demon fish on the verge of attacking your pup!

    Another new guy

    Welcome aboard -- you have a great reason to move to a RAM! I ordered both the RAM Box and the MFT after reading the comments on this site. My take-away was that most people who had the MFT loved it and those who didn't have it, don't miss it. Regarding the RAM Box, most people who bought it...

    RAM chat told me this morning: My ETA to dealer is 5/24 to 6/7. Ordered 2/28. Build complete 5/14. 11 week from order to build complete. 12-14 weeks total from order to dealer.

    My first truck with the small motor

    I ordered V6 also. I will tow only small trailer occasionally. Figured the V6 would be simpler so hoping more reliable. Also physically smaller so may be easier for some owner care without scraping my big knuckles much. Still I admire the V8 and the diesel for those who have more serious...

    Mine showed up a little later than some others report. Not easy to wait, but it sure felt good when it popped up late in the day. I'm sure yours will be soon.

    Lots of good new on this thread today! Got my window sticker yesterday. Dealer texted me that my RAM 1500 is on a train already, headed to Northern Cal (Bay Area). All that stress over waiting the last few months seems to have disappeared with this great news.
