2025 Ram 1500 Order Updates

Let's all jump on the @AnthonyRI bandwagon!!! I wish I would have just ordered from him to begin with. I'd defintealy have more information than I currently do. And from what I've seen, he's more responsive than my dealer. I only get updates when I ask, even though my salesman assures me he is checking everyday. Either he is full of it or I'm magically asking for updates on the same days that the system updates.

Speaking of updates: Truck shipped on Nov 22 by rail. Dealership is showing an estimated delivery date of 8 Dec while Ram tracker just updated this morning to show estimated delivery on 20 Dec. I'd be willing to bet that if I drove over to the rail yard and looked, my truck is already there or possibly sitting at the dealerships intake yard.

Being nice to me won't make the trucks get here faster.... but man imagine if it could!

What we see on tracking that is MOST valuable is the ETA for the truck to arrive at it's last rail stop. That's the last KNOWABLE item. Beyond that, it's a range. The tricks don't go FIFO from last rail to the dealership necessarily, and there becomes a lot more variables since it's also a lot of IC's that truck them over. So that last 100 miles or so can be 2 days or 12, and there really isn't anything predictive within that.

I'm really only being nice to you in case my current dealership doesn't get me the deal I want. In which case, I'll need you to place my order again for me and start the wait all over.

Also, for everyone else that did order from @AnthonyRI , you all better learn to read between the lines. Niceness doesn't get your truck here any faster! But having doughnuts delivered to him once a week may be a different story(he likes the strawberry filled ones).
