Get ahold of Ram Chat and see what stage your truck is in. Seems Ram trucks to Canada have been taking longer to get.
I got a hold of ram chat
Being Canadian, they would not help
They gave me a phone number to call
I called and they directed me to the dealer I am dealing with
Frustrating!

Sorry I didn't know you were in Canada. Ya they have to do things differently up there. Talking with the dealer is going to be your best bet.

I bought a 2021 Ram 1500 Classic night edition in mid January
I live in Mississauga Ontario Canada
I was told it would take about 12-13 weeks
I purchased based on this info
I was told it was to be shipped on Mar 29 (got my VIN as well)
Was then told it was delayed until Apr 20
I have been communicating with the dealer I bought from.
I was told by the dealer, that they thought it would be delayed again (chip shortage??) but they have not yet confirmed this with me yet
I tried Ram Chat but since I live in Canada, they sited Canadian privacy laws and could not help, they gave me a phone number to call... and the person at this number then re-directed me to the dealer
Getting an answer would be satisfying... getting my truck would be better!!

I'm in the same boat, but today got frustrated and just kept trying Ram Chat. First two agents gave me the usual , "Canadian customers must contract FCA Canada phone number" third one gave me my vin and status. Just keep trying and when asked for info just provide mailing address without city, province and postal code. seems to work for some.

Yesterday I was told my new ram rebel was hitting the assembly line. Asked today if they had an eta on the truck and said they were still in scheduling stage. Fn crazy that three days ago all parts had arrived. I’m hoping I just got a miserable ram chat agent who wants to spread her misery

I'll switch places with you whenever you want. I'm guessing you would probably be cancelling your order about now if you were in my situation?

Ordered 3.6, been gathering parts ever since.

I am about 3-5 days from taking delivery as long as the finances work out. Excited to finally get my Rebel! Hoping to fill out credit app today or tomorrow and get all that finance junk out of the way so I can just take delivery once it arrives to the dealer. Shipped 4/26 and arrived in Columbia, SC yesterday and should be loaded on the truck to me on the coast. Dealer says it takes 2-3 days (not sure how weekends affect that)

Wow. Why such a delay? I ordered on 4/27 and had a VIN two days later. Are you in Canada like some of the others who've experienced slow progress?

Yup , Canada Ontario . Im starting to think they are cherry-picking the builds they are going to make more on.

Ordered my 2021 loaded Rebel feb 24 from Ontario Canada. Still stuck in D status hoping by September 🤣. Sucks to wait. Only 2 hours drive from the factory. So close but so far 😩 and I’m not getting all the upgrades I wanted due to the chipset shortage which I hoped would speed it up.

Hey all, been watching this forum for a few weeks since I ordered my Sport from the dealer at the end of March. I live in southwestern Ontario and was worried about all the delays everyone has been talking about. I got my VIN in the first week of April and found out a couple days ago that my truck is now in D1 with an estimated ship date to the dealer of June 11. I should have possession by the last week of June. Was glad to hear the Canadian orders are making some progress

Don’t want to be the bearer of bad news but the dealers see this ship date and it turns out to be the build date

I had a ship date of 5/26 and that’s when my truck completed its build. I am in shipping status with no dealer eta right now
