2025 Ram 1500 Order Updates

[PetePA]

I checked with my dealer today. My truck shows E: Frame status now! it's kind of backward (It was F: paint status two weeks ago). Does anyone know or have a same experience? I'm assuming there was an issue with the paint so they rejected it and made a frame again, is this correct assumption?

I've come to the conclusion that there's some big fat dude that's working from home eating nachos and drinking red bulls in his mom's basement that updates the tracker and order status codes and does so arbitrarily.

It’s frustrating, they can’t do a simple job to know when the truck goes into the assembly line and when it comes out. I mentioned previously I ordered a BMW couple of weeks ago and followed up with BMW Genius and got an email that the car will be ready on week of 43. Which is this week. Dealer received it EXACTLY this week and I’m picking it up. I don’t understand why American brand can’t do it (BMW assembly is at SC and they just have a better program I guess).

I really want to tag onto PetePA’s line of thinking, but what I was going to say would probably get me cancelled.

I’ve come to the conclusion there is something very wrong and they’re scrambling behind the curtain to fix it. May be a number of things together.
Regardless, You KNOW someone, somewhere knows what the plan is and what the true status is. The lack of communication and transparency is unforgivable.

I re-read my post and this came to mind. Which one is the Stellantis order status updater guy?

Just logged in to check. Looks like the truck is arriving tomorrow instead of the 25th according to Ram Tracker. I’m shocked. But there’s hope.

Just amazing - and very happy for you. So proof they can produce the Tungstens if they want to..... lol

Willing to bet that you purchased through Mark Dodge. That turnaround time is insane for the Tungsten.

Got a call today and my Rebel X is in. Tracker said estimated delivery was 12/4. Surprised it showed up earlier. Going to pick it up tomorrow.

Why would guess MD?

Seems their trucks move quick, maybe because of a huge allocation or maybe just my perception.

My order is through Anthony. Maybe I’m just the odd man out?

Yes they definitely can… But I went the route of getting an Electric Truck instead… I’ll come back to Ram in the future when they get it together… I lucked up and got a 2025 GMC Sierra EV.. Happened to arrive on the lot down the street from my house.. I’m an early adopter of Tech.. So we shall see how this goes.. LOL. But I do provide you all updates here on the Ram build so you gauge your builds or even contact the dealer to purchase it if no one else has at this point instead of playing the waiting the game if the build is similar to what you ordered.

Actually I was purchasing through Hayes in Lawrenceville, GA.

@Mighty4 Congrats on your new EV. Hope it pans out for you. I was all on board to be an early adopter of the Ram EV, but they keep pushing that back and can't seem to get their head out of their ***. I understood when they were stating they were not going to be the first to market, but were going to make sure to take their time and do it right, but it seems they just can't figure that last part out.

Should you happen to go down to your dealership and see the Tungsten you offered up to the masses, can you try and take a pic of the tow mirrors? I ordered those as well and not sure why I did that. I don't tow very often and when I do it's normally small trailers. Someone in another forum mentioned the tow mirrors can create blind spots and that they are huge, but I haven't seen any pics of the ones that come on the Tungsten.

Sold-Orders are not subject to allocation whatsoever.
It'd be cool if they were, though.

You just went D1 this week sir! Estimated to finish building by 12/7

Thanks!! Yeah I too was originally holding out for the RAM EV or Ramcharger but they couldn’t figure it out but it looks like next year now. I actually took pictures of an identical Tungsten with the Tow mirrors when I originally went to the dealer… They had one on the lot back in October but by the time I got there the Salesman said he didn’t know his co worker had sold it already… Here they are… This is the exact truck I had on order. I too don’t remember why I got the Tow mirrors either… At the time the sales rep told me that was the only way to get the 360 views… But I don’t think that’s the case.

I didn't order tow mirror and had to remove TTG option. It looks too big on a luxury truck to me.
