I messaged Ram Chat this morning and they informed me that “the parts for my vehicle has been acquired and my vehicle would be entering the build stage shortly,” she could not confirm anything else, not even that this was considered D1 status, just that description. I then messaged Aaron and he confirmed that my truck was, indeed, in D1 status, and he was able to give me the date.Is that info from Ram Chat?
LOL!!! Hey, at least it's job security for them.Never leave them alone. Message them after you take delivery and ask them for updates
I also got a text today (5/24/21) from my salesman who told me it was in shipping status but is on "delay". I wonder why or what that means. ???UPDATE: I just received my window sticker today (5/23/21).
A good Monday! My window sticker was generated this morning. Now onto shipping. Still hopeful for mid-June. Just did a quick check on Carvana and Vroom. Vroom is almost $4,000 more than Carvana. This is totally nuts but I will not complain at all.WOOHOO! Happy Friday! 6:30 a.m. no build sheet..... 9:15 a.m. Build Sheet available!
I will probably trade or sell myself, but FWIW Auto Nation offered me $6K more than Vroom.A good Monday! My window sticker was generated this morning. Now onto shipping. Still hopeful for mid-June.

Egad! Where is FWIW Auto Nation?I will probably trade or sell myself, but FWIW Auto Nation offered me $6K more than Vroom.
FWIW "For what its worth". Auto Nation is a large dealership chain.Egad! Where is FWIW Auto Nation?
I love the look of your truck! Would have liked to get a red truck, but wife says to go with white. Good to let her have this one while I keep my eye on what's really important (having truck + wife).Delivered. Spitfire BTS. View attachment 94469
Nice! Looks like somebody's Billet Silver and Maximum Steel hanging on the delivery truck too...Delivered. Spitfire BTS. View attachment 94469
From dealer only. RAM CHAT Doesn't have the info.The shipping information / tracking...is that something RAM chat can provide, or does that come from the dealer?
Lady trucks??? Would that be a Honda Ridgeline?RAM is making its way slowly across the country:
May 16: Stirling Heights, Michigan
May 18: Pine, Indiana (254 miles in 2 days)
May 20: North Platte, Nebraska (779 miles in 2 days)
May 24: Ogden, Utah (653 miles in 4 days)
Total: 1,686 miles in 8 days 211 miles/day
At this modest pace, I expect the truck has time to stop off, see sights. Maybe hang out in parking lots chatting up lady trucks. Sip high octane with older trucks, hearing their road stories and imagining what it was like in the 70's when trucks were trucks -- no leather upholstery and self-parking, lucky to have an AM radio. By the time it gets to California, it will probably be ready for a rest.
RAM Chat:
"Thank you so much for holding. I appreciate your patience. I am showing that your vehicle is in the shipping stage. Current Dealer ETA is 05/19/2021 - 06/02/2021"
Looking at this a different way, I ordered the truck at the end of CY Week 11 and shipping estimate is week 20-22 for delivery so that's 9-11 weeks from order to delivery. I was expecting 12 at minimum so this is a nice surprise.
EDIT: Aaron from Mark Dodge said he's seeing the same ETA and truck is in Illinois. Once he has a firm date, he'll let me know. I can fly down to LA for about 15,000 United Miles if I pick a crappy route or 30K if I pick a good one.
