2025 Ram 1500 Order Updates

So a few notes on the purchase process today with the guys at Mark Dodge:
It couldn’t have been any easier and less pushy. EXTREMELY HAPPY
Got everything done via zoom in about 30-45 minutes. The finance guys were able to get me an additional $2k discount because I have a ford vehicle. $14k discount on the very well equipped truck plus $5k Ram incentives plus another $2k for the Ford discount. This truck went from “really pricey” to “quite a bit less pricey”.
There was one dent on the truck that occurred sometime during shipping that they are going to fix and should be ready to ship out on Monday or Tuesday next week. I’m so excited I can hardly handle it.

This great info. Thanks for sharing. I hope to be not too far behind you on this experience.
The truck looks great. I love the night edition! Wish I could get it on the Tungsten.

Congrats! Beautiful truck!
 
Funny story. We have the service where USPS emails us a picture of the mail that's coming in. I saw a piece of mail that says pay to the order of me from my dealership today. I freaked out that they were returning my deposit because they made a mistake or something and the truck was sold to someone else, but was tied up at work due to a **** show. My sales person called me a few hours later and told me that my truck is in Baltimore waiting on a transport truck to be shipped to the dealership. Once I got home and checked the mail it was my deposit check but apparently they're clearing their books for year and and so I'll simply pay them an extra $1,000 when I get there.

I about **** myself...lol. Literally was doing the math on when I'd get a truck if I ordered from MD today while dealing with a **** show at work

Like you need the added stress of that! At least it worked out. :)
 
Ram tracker finally showed my cancelled order built on Dec 7th and the window sticker with a est delivery date TBA. Will be interesting to see how much longer i would have had to wait if i didn't find and buy mine Nov. 12th.

When did you order your vehicle?
 
Just got an update that my order has been sitting in the neighboring towns railyard since Dec 5th. Waiting on a truck to deliver to the dealership that is 15 miles from the railyard. All dealership will tell me is that it will be very soon. Then to work out the deal with them and make sure they stick to the pricing I want. So, end in site, actually pretty quick compared to some of you. Birthday is in two days and this would be a nice present to myself.

I'm in the same boat. Mine got delivered to a Maryland rail Yard on December 5th and I'm waiting for the truck.
 
There's plenty of others here in the same boat.
That’s annoying me, we all know Stellantis struggles to sell their inventory but they don’t care about the potential buyers like us that waiting for long time. Why they don’t prioritize our order and send them out quickly?
Update: my order cancelled and went back to D status.

Could not agree more.

You're so right. It is very odd. In April 2018 when i finally could order my 19 Limited in Ivory Tri Coat i had it in my driveway 13 weeks later. Hell, i thought that was a long wait.
 
Got the call from the dealership today. It turns out my truck got delivered to the Port Allen, LA rail facility, but now it won't start. The need to dispatch a tech to repair it before it can be delivered to the dealership. This drama is killing me! lol.

Dude, I don’t mind to wait but there is no answer when I get my truck is BS. I never had American truck before and always had BMW. I ordered bunch and even Covid time I was able to get answer when I can receive my order.

Agree wholeheartedly. I understand that some shipping times may vary, but they have a huge data set to pull from. They should be able to get close. And the lack of info on times from order to build complete is simply indefensible. That info must be in a production planning system. They’re holding back for some reason….
My 2014 Laramie was in my hands 8 weeks after order, and that included Thanksgiving and Christmas!
I’m still waiting for a reasonable explanation.
 
Truck supposedly being delivered to the dealership today, then has to pass their QC/intake. Offered to buy lunch for the guys in the shop if they could get it in and back out so I could go close a deal tonight. No response from the salesman. So, sounds like I may be able to pick it up tomorrow. Hopefully, they meet my price expectations and the whole process goes quick. Don't feel like spending my birthday sitting in a dealership haggling about price and waiting for them to be ready for me to sign a bunch of crap. On the upside, happy birthday to me(hopefully)!!
