I agree. I have never ordered before. Asked about it one time but that dealer wanted nothing to do with it. I got the options I wanted without 7k of unwanted fluff. The dealer I went to on this order was easy.
That being said, I hope I’m not waiting till May for my ride.
I've never ordered before either. Definitely a practice of my patience as I'm an instant-gratification kind of guy on big purchases. I know some of the early orders placed have been waiting a LONG time, but I think once the party is started it'll be a hit. Stellantis from what I understand is putting supplier and chip allocation towards RAM and Jeep as they are both very profitable for them. They don't want the poor PR nightmare Ford has been experiencing.
I think they are well on their way to potentially knocking Ford and GM off the pedestal for sales. They aren't a "perfect" vehicle (nothing is made by human hands) but IMHO RAM has it going on and the truck to beat. Ford's new interiors are much nicer but still not equal to RAM, and GM has some fresh meat coming but unless they really step it up their seating comfort is the worst on the market.
Add to that Ford dropped the baby PowerStroke after only two years on the market and GM has had to put a hold on the baby Duramax already.
