This will be my first Ram. Good bye Tundra, you served me well.
 
My truck has moved out of D1 and into F Status as of last week. I think Sterling Heights is shutdown this week but my truck does now have a ship date - 1/14.
 
My salesman says my truck has been delivered to Council Bluffs so should be getting close now!
 
My truck arrived at Council Bluffs Ia rail yard on Jan. 5th. Was delivered to dealer today in Blair NE.
 
Well my order went from D1 back to D, and MSRP increased on a few items....
 
holy crap that would tick me off.

Ram is getting too ballsy with how much they think we really need these trucks from them.
Honestly I could care less about the status, I can’t pick it up till April 2 anyway ha. But the MSRP increase for the base price, hemi, and 12” uconnect have me a bit upset.
 
Wtf? What changed and by how much? Is your dealer still going to honor the negotiated price?

So about $445 MSRP difference on the build. I don't think that's outside the range of asking the dealer to honor the original price. Still very annoying that they would even ask but, as I understand it, the dealer isn't invoiced until the truck ships so the dealer would be paying the new price. If they won't budge you might see if they will throw in slush mats or something to keep you happy.

My friend, that is complete BS if they think they can pass along a rate increase... Your ordered when you ordered. I had a an order going from black friday ... NOT only are they honoring those incentives, they KNOW way better than to increase anything after the fact. I WOULD be insulted they even would think of that. They have tons of wiggle room. IMO
 
Finally got news that my truck is scheduled for build week of 1/21/19. I’ve been waiting since 11/30/18.

Hang in there man, the truck will be done exactly as you ordered it, it's worth the wait!

What dealership did you go through? If they are honoring incentives, I would like to call in about placing an order in the next week or two.
 
Ram Chat is reporting that my truck is being trimmed out today (G status). I don't know whether I'm excited that it's one of the first off the line after re-tooling or if I should be worried that it's one of the first off the line after a 3 week break for the line workers lol.
