My Truck Ordering Experience (10/15/2018 - 12/06/2018)

Mine also per Ram Chat. Great news.

I did a bit of searching regarding this staus code and it seems that it could be a good sign once you hit this. Things are reported to move pretty fast afterwards. Maybe, just some reports. Crossing my fingers, I have to give my insurance rental back soon. :)

Don't hold your breath. You can sit at D1 for up to 45 days before FCA will do anything and it seems the bulk of the trucks do sit there a long time. Mine went D1 on 9/28 and wasn't built until 10/22. There are several others on the tracking sheet that were in D1 much longer. It seems that the etorque and ramboxes drastically increased wait time before the truck was built. For reference, I ordered my truck on 9/26 and it was delivered to the dealer on Saturday (11/3), so thats 5 weeks but I didn't order anything special that has been extending order times.

Dang! Well, I will hope for the best but plan for the worst.
 
11\8\2018 - FCA order status code is still D1, estimated build date of 11/29.
 
11\12\2018 - FCA order status code is still D1, this time the guy on the call said he didn't see any "date" listed. Strange, how did the person I last talked to see one?

Only thing I’ve ever got was a ship date and that was from my dealer off of his system. 11/20 ship date on mine the Monday after it hit D1.
 
11/12/2018 - Sent a text to my dealer asking for an update from them. "It's in line to be built, estimated ship date is 11/20 but they are never right."
 
11/20/2018 - Truck was still in D1 status yesterday. As of today it’s in “G” or “Trim” status and it “should be done in a day or so depending on options.”
 
11/28/2018 - Truck is in KZ status. Should arrive in the railyard in KC on 12/7.
 
12/6/2018 - My truck is on the dealer lot!

Very nice truck, and congrats. When do you pick it up? We have VERY similar builds. Mine should arrive at the dealer any day now.

The dealer has my accessories to install. Bed cover, hood deflector, door air deflectors, running boards.


I pick it up Monday, which just so happens to be the same day I have to return my rental.

I went and drove it today and it is amazing. Love the sunroof. Love the power of the 3.92. Love the Rebel 12 package. It’s my dream ride.

How much you paid OTD?

Congrats Tropez! We’ll be picking ours up the same day. Dealer is short handed tomorrow to get it accessorized so it will be Monday for me also. Understandable as it’s a small town dealership but the service I’ve received in the past from them makes it A ok with me. I’ll post up pics Monday night if things go as planned.
