2022 Orders

[AngelPhoenix]

You may know this already, but TX gives you a tax "credit" when you trade-in a vehicle and buy one at the same time. So, say you buy your Limited for $58k and you then buy a new vehicle in a year. If the dealer gives you $50k for your trade, you are exempt from taxes on the first $50k of whatever your new purchase is (e.g., your new vehicle is $80k, you only pay tax on $30k). So, in this example, you'd really only pay tax on $8k for your 2022 Limited, or $500.

The first dealer I went shopping at made no mention of this at all. The dealer I got my truck from pointed it out almost immediately after I told them I had a trade.

Ram Chat said they are gathering parts. Dealer said build is scheduled. I'm not far into the wait so I will give them another few weeks. I was more curious about what sort of responses I'd get from each of them. I am sure most dealers and Ram are aware of some of our conversations on this and similar forums.

D status says; Firm schedule, Serial number assigned (ramchat says "gathering parts")
D1 Says; Gatelined for production, production date assigned(ramchat says "all parts have been gathered")
your dealer likely read "firm schedule" on your POC and told you that, but its not "scheduled" technically untill you are gatelined and they have a production date for your vin.

My build sheet fina

When I ordered my limited on 10/7 the level 1 did not include the tech package nor was there a standalone option for it. I remember reading an article a month or 2 back saying in order to streamline production that it would be included w/ the level 1. Spoke with someone on ramchat yesterday & they said it is not included - I asked them to double check to confirm it and got the same answer, no. I was looking for it when I built it too as I would've wanted it but again, it wasn't even listed on the sheet. Sure would be nice if they were wrong though!

Correction regarding my previous post : My build sheet finally showed this morning and sure enough it shows that the tech group IS included with the limited level 1 - at least for my build it is according to the sheet. Again, there was no box to check on the options list when building it on the RAM website OR at the dealer AND the ramchat person said it would not be included. Hopefully this holds true for all who were hoping we could get it but were told otherwise. Hope this post helps out.

Yeah I just did and I’m disappointed at myself right now. About to call dealer and see how far we are. Thinking about making the switch

The truck in my profile is going to run me $63000. Adding the 10th Anny Edition to get the lighter interior got them another $2k out of me vs ordering a 2021.

I performed a search on this forum and found nothing as to what “New Chip Supplier Tracking” means on the sticker below. I don’t plan on buying it but was curious what this could be…

hmmm, just a though because I don't know, but if we are tossing ideas around.
From a business view, if I had to switch using microchips from one manufacturer to another due to the shortage I would mark them in some way.
That way if anything bad happens I know to stop using them.
And no news is good news so I would continue using them.

My intel has revealed that "New Chip Supplier Tracking" means the truck will be built with an explosive chip that will be remotely detonated, obliterating the truck and any occupants therein, if Stellantis finds out the owner of said truck leaves any negative comments or reviews of said truck.

Also, my intel is total BS.

The lesson here is always read the fine print.

RAM Chat response SSDD Same S Different Day, Gathering Parts....I ask questions requiring a response and get Gathering Parts,, Once I talked to a real person who sounded empathetic when I said Im eighty years old, Im not guaranteed a lot of waiting days. But that and any followup ceased at the end of the call.

Meanwhile, the plates on my tradein are expired, my race car is my daily driver and Im borrowing a truck to haul my camper out to the hunting lease

BTW the folks at my dealer said the intell here on the forum is a hundred times better than what they get from their FCA representative, kudos to our man Eighty

It looks like Ram Chat is still down today. They must be tired of getting blown up!

 

[NorthStar]

There is no way in heck I’d put money down on a truck or buy one on the lot without knowing exactly what that means. Even the guys in the Wrangler forum see it in the Jeep’s but nobody knows what it is… It’s an open bear trap for a buyer if one doesn’t know what it means. And it is odd that even a Google search doesn’t provide a definition.

Their IT Manager must have been given a truck with the "New Chip Supplier Tracking" on his build sheet.

your eighty and drive race car? fantastic. your plight is the worst in my opinion, you should not be left waiting as one of the first to order. @RamCares please show you do, and PAY ATTENTION to the ones who ordered first and have waited 6 months or more to drive a RAM.

yeah, God has blessed me with decent health so far but we all know that could litterally change in a heartbeat. I drove an NCM C-8 Corvette on their track back in May for a total of an hour. Great car but my C-6 Z06 is just as fast or faster on that same track.. I also learned how to fly a Seaplane this summer

Did you guys plan this via DM?? lol

 

[KWKSLVR]

If there's a new chip supplier then I best start seeing movement soon, or else!.........I'll just have to wait longer.

As likely one of the youngest people here, God bless you man. Get busy living.
