*HEMI UPDATE* 2026 Ram 1500 Factory Orders @ MARK DODGE

[AnthonyRI]

That contradicts what was posted on another Ram forum, but I’m not sure where they pulled it from…

“1. Excludes Fully Electric vehicles. Applies to 2026 model year vehicles. Non-transferable. Visit Mopar.com for complete details and a copy of the Powertrain Limited Warranty. Take retail delivery by 09/02/2025.”

I read that also, about taking delivery by 9/2/2025. Here is a screen shot from the Ram Trucks site, which does not reference the "taking delivery by" part of it. Then I also attached the Warranty document from Mopar.com, which has no dates in it at all. I do think they need to come out with an official statement to clarify which is correct. Is this a matter of having to order early and take delivery by 9/2/25 or is ordering by 9/2/25 correct?

The program rules state must be delivered or sold ordered. That's what I posted, that's what is behind the scenes. Just like the build & price tool is never going to have every single thing listed perfectly, neither will a rebate program or warranty program like this when there are conditions. Notice how just about everything at some point says "see dealer for details" on all "programs and incentives" This is the details!

Thanks Anthony. I missed your earlier post with dealer memo, so it all makes sense now. Hopefully they will extend this beyond 9/2/25.

Not as clear as it could be. I don’t know what a sold order is as defined by the Gold Book, but I know that Anthony wouldn’t intentionally mislead anyone here. So if he’s saying we would only need to place an order before 9/2/25 I believe him. Although I'm a bit curious to know the guidelines from the Gold Book for what a sold order is. What would disqualify an order from being a sold order?

I don’t know why Ram has to play games like this though. Why can't they just offer the warranty as a replacement for the current power train warranty?

This is not an exhaustive list, but here's some examples things that CAN compromise a sold order (some always, some sometimes)
- Turning it into a fleet sale or other sale types that I don't know much about
- Selling to an account that SHOULD have been a fleet sale but wasn't
- Not selling to the same person and/or address as on the POC
- Selling to a known dealer, exporter, headless horseman or otherwise 'nerdowell (YES they actually comb for these issues)
- Not recording the sale within 14 days of receiving to dealership (our own policy is shorter)
- Making changes to the POC after order is placed (I once added aux switches to a powerwagon and it cost over $2K as a result!)
- NOT literally ordering it as a a sold order (I see this all the time on competing dealer's POCs)
- Being on probation from being allowed to place sold orders (naughty list for breaking other rules)

Thanks Anthony, I appreciate your willingness to share a little of what happens behind the curtain.
