I have a 22 Ram that is a 3.92 with e-torque. It gets about 15.9 mpg and I mainly drive back roads with a little bit of highway. My 2018 RAM that was a 3.21 got about 18 mpg driving the same roads. Pretty big difference! I'm pretty sure that my 2015 RAM that was a 3.92 got close to 18 mpg as...
My truck arrived and was damaged during transport. I'll write about my experiences later, once I've gotten everything settled with the insurance company.
But here are some thoughts on the truck:
I like it! The truck feels beefier than my 2018 RAM. The doors feel heavier and everything feels...
I'm now on to the delivery phase. My truck was picked up on the 19th from MD, and it is on its way to Maryland. The shipper was supposed to contact me 24 hours in advance of delivery, and he didn't. I contacted MD and they said I could contact the shipper directly.
I called the shipper, and...
Here are the things I can think of, there weren't many:
The very first thing I had to do was to fill out the financing documents. You know, they ask all of those questions I can't remember the answers to: When did you buy your current house? How much do you make per year? How long have you...
I went to Carmax and a local used car dealer. The used car dealer was actually a guy who was sitting in a used car dealership, but he was buying for a large online nationwide business. Carmax and the used car guy had similar prices. The used car dealer was a few hundred higher, but I felt they...
Here's my timeline:
11/8 got the email from MD- it included financing application, other info, and pics of the truck. That evening I got bids for my old truck to sell, but it was a little late and I decided to finalize the old truck sale the next evening.
11/9 MD financing staff got in touch...
I did some light research online and it looks like the carriers have been bilked out of being paid in the past. This article says that "cash" can be construed to be cash, cashier's check, or money order. My agreement does say cash or certified funds. I can imagine that some shippers are leery...
I think I understand a little better how the MD shipping works now. Someone with more knowledge can chip in additional info.
When they are ready to ship (which is very soon after you get your loan docs done/send your payment), MD will call you, and together you will decide on a price to ship...
For MD, I financed part and gave a big down payment after they received the truck.
I wired the down-payment. My bank requires me to go in person and have all the funds on 1 bank account. MD provides wiring instructions. My bank recommended calling to verify the wiring instructions. I...
I ordered the night package
I admit, I'm not sure. I think I got my WS on the 26th, but maybe I am wrong? I know I had it by the 28th because that is the day I thought to look for it and save it.
It sounds likely that I am wrong about my WS date.
Timeline info on my truck order:
VIN 122803
Ordered 7/17
VIN 7/28 or sooner
D1 on or before 10/18 (all parts gathered waiting for build to begin per Ram Chat, dealer said that build would be on 10/25, and they were right)
Build Sheet 10/25
Out for bed liner 10/28
Ram Chat says it is in transit...
Thank you triple_B!
Interesting bit of information- I asked Ram Chat about my status last Monday and they said they had gathered parts and were scheduling, but had no date. I asked the dealer (MD) the same day, and they said it would be built on 10/25, and they were exactly right!
So at...
