Take it with a grain of salt. I ordered 6/22, last week when I did ram chat they said it was scheduled to be built this week and to check back.. I checked back and now they said there’s nothing scheduled.

As a 2020, I assume? I'd love it if it was a 2021 because that would mean they're starting a week earlier than what we have been led to believe so far.
If yours is a 2020, it'll be one of the last ones off the line!

Mine was ordered on 6/16 and it arrived at the dealer today. Carl sent me a few photos. Maybe you folks waiting a bit longer ordered a longer lead time option?

Correct on assuming a 2020. Also ordered as a fleet rig. Ram chat deferred to calling fleet services. Ramboxes could also be contributing to a longer wait. Details in signature. That red and chrome looks amazing!

Did you get a VIN number? What is the 10th "digit", L or M?
The only info I've seen on 2021 initial production start date is 8-31-2020 - have you seen something earlier than that date? I'm not that confident they will even start on that date considering they are supposedly running the factories during much of the switchover break to continue making model year 2020's. But I would love to be pleasantly surprised!

Thanks! All see on here are the red trucks with the sport package and painted bumpers. I was originally going to order white/chrome but decided I just liked the red.
Working on paperwork now and then I'll plan to head down and get it 2nd week of August. Harder to wait now that I know it's there!

Keep us posted! Especially about whether you're able to get the final buyer's paperwork beforehand - before heading down there and the $1,695 potential add back mystery.
Awesome truck man. I just ordered mine on Friday. Very similar to yours. Attached my build. I may be in the minority but I actually prefer the look of the Laramie vs the Limited. I’m not a big fan of the thinner looking headlights on the limited. I know they are projector LEDs vs the reflector on the Laramie but I just think they look meaner on the Laramie. Also, what in the world is the Ziegler plan?

For sure but no mysteries as of right now. He sent some stuff for me to review and I emailed back the stuff he needed. They are sending the official papers via fedex with return prepaid, I just review and sign it; fill out my autoloan check for them, and then send it all back. Then they process it. When I head down should be all set to just pick it up and leave after a quick truck inspection.

Nice, yeah we basically have the same build, I love it, Skater and I just had the same convo about the laramie vs the limited, also the Zeigler plan is basically the same plan the dealership will try to sell you when you go do paperwork, but for about 3k less. Good choice though, you'll be the talk of the neighborhood with the New Ram!!

This is how it should be! You get to skip the finance department so you could review the sales contract at home beforehand and sign it knowing there's no funny business with the numbers.

My build sheet says 8th month/5th week for production start. So that matches what everyone has been reporting.

Have you contacted the sales person you've been working with? I imagine he'd be the one to call and give you updates.
I have, first time was beginning of July, he sent me over the build sheet and said he was sending it over to the manufacturer, I inquired about a VON and he said he will let me know when he receives it. Inquired about it last week so about 25 days since last contact and said he will get back to me, any time I call to speak to a manager, they ask who was your sales person and immediately transfer me.
