2025 Ram 1500 Order Updates

[Scotty3585]

Sorry for the newb question, but I ordered my 1500 Laramie on May 10th, got the VIN a few days later and now the tracker is showing scheduled for production as of 07/09. My question is the site hasn't updated but the dealer is telling me they have a ship date of 08/12. Is the tracker off or is the dealer feeding me BS? Thanks in advance!

Form the couple I’ve see it’s about 30ish days from schedule to build and then a few days to actually build the truck. So it might be accurate

Update: Just spoke with the dealer. Ship date moved from 8/13 to 8/16. He said the main reason for the delay is related to the quality control issues that made the news, but they don't have any more detail. I said certainly I'm not trying to rush and be in the middle of some quality issue, would rather that be corrected first and then built. On the CEL issue folks have been hit with he said that was software related (something about not being hot enough to get the power need and the TSB called for premium gas but now that's fixed). Hope this helps folks, just sharing the message don't shoot the messenger.

I reached out to my dealer yesterday and was told that my truck is now showing that it will go into production on 8/10. Baby steps!

Same, I'm hoping lvl 2 was worth the wait.

Just got an update from my dealer, my build is in final inspection and set to be shipped on Monday 8/5. Will get a more solid delivery estimate when my vehicle ships.

lucky you

lucky you

I believe that it will be pushed back but I’m really hoping it won’t because I could really use it for a vacation I’m going on at the end of the month. But regardless if it gets pushed back it’s for the best.

Based on what other have said, sounds right but I defer to the experts here.

Yes

That's good. I ordered mine last December and still no schedule. Maybe my holdup is the 2KW power system..

I do believe that is one of the few parts that are still on the “not available” list.

Oh boy... ask your dealer to get you a new copy of your POC with today's date on it... might be telling.

My estimated ship date changed from 8/10 to 8/13. This seems in line with what others have stated.

Just guessing... maybe the CEO told SHAP to get through all of the trucks they've made that didn't pass QC and need some work done. In other words, clean up your WIP (work in progress) and learn what you need to so that you improve your DRR (direct run rate).

If the plant does a good job getting through the trucks that need supplemental work and does a good job learning from these mistakes, we might see better flow. If they're over-promising the speed that they can get through the trucks in WIP, then we'll see our ship dates push further.

It’s my understanding that the 2kw system isn’t being built. Also back in December the level A equipment group was called the level 1 group. Anthony from mark dodge previously told us that trucks with level 1 as opposed to level A won’t be built. So unless your dealer changed it from level 1 to level A your truck is sitting in cyberspace. If they did change it then it’s probably waiting on the 2kw system… which probably won’t be available for some time.
