RAM Chat gave an estimate of 5/19-6/02.

I was just emailed a few photos of the truck at the dealer.

Dude sweet truck! I love seeing this coloring in pictures rather than that computer generated ram image. I can't wait for mine to get in.
 
Alright, this is crazy. I touch down at 7PM in New Orleans on Saturday. Aaron @ Mark Dodge, “We’ll have two guys there to give you the keys and send you on your way”

What insane customer service. Saved me hundreds on airfare / car rental To get to lake Charles.
 
So I just contacted ram chat for the first time (5.5 weeks and I caved, I'm so ashamed, lol). I'm in the "production stage which means all parts are gathered and it's waiting to move into the build process. At this time we do not have an estimate for when the build will begin"...which sounds like a firm D status.

I did also go ahead and ask if builds are grouped together based on trim/packages or by order received and ram chat said that the assembly line goes based on when the order was placed. If Big Horns, Rebels, and (sometimes) Laramies are built in the same place as Limiteds then this can't be entirely accurate as we all know those trims can move through faster than the Limiteds; so I'm guessing it's more of when the order was received AND they have all your parts ready to go. The only variable then is you'd never get a Limited through because you'd never gather enough chips because a basic Big Horn would keep jumping the line, so there must be something else we're missing.

Dude that's unbelievable! 7PM and they're 3 hours away! Haha or they have some guys that really just want to party in New Orleans and write it off as a work trip...smart!

I should be sitting in it Saturday at 7PM.

To those who maybe ordered from Mark Dodge, my experience so far has been pretty spectacular.

  1. First contact in January, Aaron was cool and very fast to call / email me back and no pressure to order at all
  2. I emailed in march and again, no pressure and great price and after I committed, he gave me almost instantly All of the paperwork I needed and by the next morning I had VIN/VON
  3. quiet for about 9 weeks
  4. then a couple of updates here and there on where the truck was
  5. The truck then arrived a week before we thought it might get here
  6. 3PM. Photos from Aaron of the truck
  7. 6PM. Phone call while I was cooking dinner (photo of my dry-aged steak below for you guys)
  8. Aaron confirmed PDI was done, truck was ready for pickup
  9. 7:30PM, Finance department calls and that took about 10 minutes to go through everything
  10. ..and we’re all done

Not the most painless purchase ever because I never special order vehicles so I’m usually going through internet sales departments for vehicles that are aging on the lot (holdovers, those kind of things) BUT aside from the wait, this was insanely efficient. Those guys are built to move trucks fast and they’re damn good at it.

Nice truck! <see above> :)

Would have got exactly this if the payload held up (I'll be towing enough to make it so the Rambox/tailgate/33-gal tank took it down too far.) Nice Choice!

I just had mine shipped from Mark Dodge, 958 miles and it was $700. Totally worth it based on air line tickets and rental car rates.

Other Chuck,

Did you bid out the shipping yourself or did Aaron take care of it?

If you, who did you use as a broker?

Thanks,
Chuck
 
Just got my limited's window sticker! For those who've recently received their Rams, how long did it take from window sticker to delivery to dealer?
Thanks, Chuck
 
Can anybody tell me how long after trim did your vehicle get delivered to the dealer??

Keep us posted on how this works out. I’d be very interested in doing the exact same thing in 2-3 weeks.
