Got a VIN assigned today - order went in on 8/21, due to some initial confusion over certain options. Has anyone here proceeded beyond D1 status yet?

Not to mention that dual rear wheels on a 1500 would look almost as out of place as a post about DRWs in the TRX forum...

That's not a Launch Edition (different color). Does that mean they've already produced all 702 LE's, and are now onto TR1/TR2 builds? I thought one of our members here who ordered a Launch Edition had a build date of Jan 28 ( @soulsea ?)

I'm going to guess that's the connector for the air suspension ride height sensor, which is unused since you don't have air suspension.

I tried it a couple of times, mainly just to demo it for friends. It seems to work fine, but just takes way too long. I've been backing big trucks into little spaces for long enough - there's no way an auto-park feature is going to do it better or faster. I find the backup and SurroundView...

Under Brakes, Base, Description, Description and Operation - component #7 is the Electric Vacuum Pump. Under Operation, it says, "The base brake system uses an electric vacuum pump for additional vacuum supply".

Isn't the ICU up by the master cylinder? OPs picture sure looks like the vacuum pump to me. This is the service manual's photo: That's the oil dipstick handle (yellow) at the very top of the factory picture.

vacuum pump - used to supply additional vacuum to the brake booster when the engine isn't producing enough vacuum mechanically

They just pop out with a screwdriver.

There will be mount points for the steps, same as any 5th gen truck, and is what they use to mount the off-road steps or the rock rails. But there will be no wiring harness, nor any integration into the touch screen. I intend to get a set of Amp Research Power Step XLs and install them myself...

My 2019 was built on Nov. 6th, and delivered on Nov. 30th. That's Michigan to New Jersey. Areas with less-frequent rail service could be a little longer.

And I can already see the commercial. Two neighbors, with adjacent driveways. Guy #1 jumps in his TRX, hits the start button, and the Hellcat Demon rumbles to life, rattling windows, scaring little children. He turns to his neighbor, and smiles as if to say, "what'cha got under the hood?"...

That's OK - you guys be patient. I've wanted a TRX since the concept was first announced. I'm tired of waiting for things. I clicked 'Add To Cart' - why isn't it in my driveway yet?! ;)

My feeling exactly, as well. I was slightly disappointed that the Ram boxes weren't available on the TRX, but understood due to the wider fenders. I'll also probably be installing a set of Amp Research power steps (more than likely the XL version) in place of the Mopar steps - I'll have to see...

Tonneau covers rate about a 0.75 on the 1-10 difficulty scale (Bakflips raise that bar to about a 1.2). The Mopar tri-fold cover comes completely off in about 30 seconds, so the installation is equally as complicated (set on bed, line it up so it looks straight (in the words of Jimmy Diresta...

I too placed my order that Tuesday - though it didn't get accepted until Thursday. My VON is 46693367... if anyone should happen to stumble across a status on it :)

Put my order in the morning of the 18th... resolved one little issue with the order on the 19th, got my VON on the morning of the 21st. I was their 3rd order - one Launch Edition and one regular TRX ahead of me.

From looking at the pkg descriptions on the ramtrucks.com build site, level 1 only gets you front heated seats. Level 2 adds the rear seat heaters.

That's exactly what my dealer offered me for my 2019 loaded Laramie... $46K. I found that to be a reasonably fair offer - probably not going to take it, though. I'm thinking 2019 will be the daily driver/beater, and the TRX will be the weekender/"fun" vehicle. As much as I'll miss her, I...

And the same was said about the 5th gen trucks... all new design, lots of new tech, and not exactly cheap, either (my 2019 stickered for just under $70K). By and large, my 2019 has been trouble-free. I have no reason to believe the TRX will be substantially different.
