2025 Ram 1500 Order Updates

[firecadet613]

Update on my Rebel. Dealship said the date changed again... to tomorrow! Hopefully early because I'm working more than 16 on Friday! I will update next with pictures.... HOPEFULLY! I still don't believe it until it is here!

Also, what's a good "checklist" to go through for the truck?

Congrats!

Delivery Checklist

After receiving a few requests...here is the delivery checklist I used when taking delivery of my 2019 Ram 1500. I had a checklist I used for my F150 - borrowed from an F150 forum member and modified a bit. I modified the RAM one based on issues people had found with their trucks. My late May...

One other thing to note for everyone - Limited Level A's are shipping like crazy to dealers now. I think 8/09 is the oldest window sticker that I've seen so far. Most were built last week.

Still no movement on mine hopefully it ships soon. Sunday will be a month since it went into production.

thanks Pete. I wont like it I can tell you that without looking at it. my last 5 trucks have had 100% leather seats and that's what I like.

When I was climbing into the truck, I noticed the inserts immediately and (to me) it was pretty cringe-worthy. I kind of thought any Limited package was kind of sacred.

My dealer always gives me a full tank of gas when I get my new ones.

I have all black interiors thank God it might blend better than I am expecting but the brown one I seen is definitely but ugly!! it's a shame to put all that Leather in the truck everywhere then put those crappy cloth inserts in the seats. I am already searching for custom seat covers. only prob is nobody has them for 2025 yet except cat skins through Mopar accessory's.

I ordered thru Mark Dodge (Anthony), so my truck is going to be shipped from LA to NY. Not sure how that will work. I'll have to ask Anthony -- or if anyone else has experience with a shipped truck, lmk.

I also ordered from Mark Dodge (Anthony). I have a related question. When the vehicle is shipped instead of being being picked up in person, when the vehicle is delivered, do you then use the checklist to evaluate it and check for any issues? What if an issue is identified, how is that resolved?

Good find and yuk. Talk about a downgrade from previous years...

Do the ebony red seats have cloth also? Looks like a cool color.

Dealerships do a full PDI (pre delivery inspection) upon receiving the vehicle and before it gets sold.

I've just happened to see two of my ordered trucks before they were checked in (one was a night drop, the other I was driving by and saw the carrier turn in).

Agree entirely. I would not get the brown/red because of the cloth. It doesn't look good. However, it looks very good with black on black from what I can see in videos. Realistically, I doubt the cloth material is anything but high-end quality, so I bet you'll be good with it. Fingers crossed!

Always a full tank of gas they should never be delivered to have empty or anything other than full

I spoke with Anthony about this and he said the following.
They do their own inspection to verify everything is 100% before they will load the truck onto a trailer to be shipped and delivered to the customer. If anything happens to the truck in transit there is a separate insurance policy that will cover incidental damage so that it can be fixed when you take delivery in your home state. The other option is you fly in and pick up the truck and take delivery like normal and then drive home.
