Order Tracking

Here is an image showing what I'm talking about. Perhaps just a quirk of ordering from Canuckistan.

I was wondering why your prices were soooo much more until I saw CAN... ahhhhhhhh..... light goes on - on marble head!

Not sure about your tank either. 26/33 only options. Maybe in CAN, they include the fill tube ??? :-)

Could be they have to leave the "reserve capacity" out of the tank size spec here in Canada?

Just got a call from Aaron saying my truck is at the dealership. Hopefully you hear the same news on your end today.

@Cliffrunner88 Well, it seems like another day has passed and no word for either of us! LOL, you are so right about this being the most torturous part of the entire wait.

Someone on here had a list of what slows orders down and e-locker was on there. You're the rare 6'4" box on the site, so I don't know if that causes delays or not.

I'm hoping it ships quickly, but it sounds like Mark Dodge just got a big shipment and if they have to wait for more orders to pile up before another shipment, it might be another long waiting process.

I think they go every two (ish) weeks? But I don’t have enough data points to say that is a confident trend

I got a call this morning at 10:00! I would have messaged sooner but I had to wrap it up at work a half day, run home to clean up and pack, and then beeline it out of town! Haha. In Biloxi tonight and making the rest of the leg early in the morning to pick her up!
Hopefully within 12 hours!!!
By the time I had a chance to message you before I left town today you had already heard about yours so I figured I’d let you know when I had more time.

Sorry to leave you behind :/ but yes it is definitely the most stressful, maybe because of the last minute planning to hurry up and get to it

Dang, I hope there are more transporters lined up between now and Tuesday afternoon when I had tentatively planned to get it. Glad to hear you got yours though, I’ll be waiting here for pics!! 😀

I knew I should have left last night and I could have had it today, but with my luck, if I had left last night then it probably wouldn’t have come in until next week! Hahaha

Can't wait to see pics! I'm happy you are getting yours now

I like that you don't need the rails on the inside for the Extang. Easier install and easier to take off if needed. Plus I don't mind the on top of the bed frame look.

I have an extang on my 12 ram and have noticed that it rubs on the back of the cab if it gets moved a lot. I haven’t had any other issues but just something to be cognizant of if you go that route
 
Alright everyone, sorry for the long delay here but I got the call from Aaron at about 10:00am Friday and so I immediately finished up at work and left at lunch to rush home and pack, grab the wife, empty my car, and head to Biloxi (already had the grandparents lined up to watch the kids just in case).
View attachment 98704The wife and I spent the night in Biloxi (so she could play some slots; and not a bad view from the room if the weather hadn’t sucked and it wasn’t basically dark the only times we were in the room), fill up on gas, and then we were on the road again by 6:00am today (Saturday) heading West.

Of course, we had to make a short detour in New Orleans for some Cafe Du Monde (only cost us about an hour).

Also, we saw somebody’s tires on the way to get delivered but I’m not much of a car guru so I couldn’t tell what size they were as we passed…
View attachment 98708

My gas light came on as we were exiting the interstate in Lake Charles (just did make it, lol) and we rolled up about 10:30am. I parked right up front and immediately saw my truck! It was love at first sight.

(It’s that blue one under the carport behind the TRX 🤣)
View attachment 98709

We walked inside and Angelo greeted us and somehow already knew who we were with no introduction! We had already e-signed the paperwork so there was only a couple of things to sign (mileage statements for the truck and my trade-in, my title, and I think that was it).
The actual process took MAYBE 30 minutes…the rest of the time was me just looking her over and playing with the settings before the 7 hour drive home.
Aaron came over to introduce himself and helped set up my phone to the truck. We talked for a few minutes and he’s as nice and real as everyone says! Jason came by to say hello in-between his phone calls (which to be honest was probably one of you guys asking if your truck was in 😜).
Aaron and Angelo each checked in on us at least once more before we left. Seeing Aaron sit at his command center desk (really, it looks like something out of an aircraft control tower) was cool; I honestly don’t know how he has the time to be a fantastic sales manager, deal with all of us forum folks bothering him because we are just being anxious and impatient, let’s be honest (and me being so new to this whole process and asking questions), AND come say hi and personally help set up my truck. The dude is amazing, and everyone else there was incredibly friendly!

I’d say the worst thing about the whole experience was walking away and watching Angelo drive off with my first car. I really didn’t think I was that sentimental about that sort of thing until I saw them drive away with 15 years of memories.
But on the plus side, I did get to meet @texas_guy90 in person since he showed up shortly after I did to get his truck too.

(His, mine, and my first)

We left and eventually had to get gas since it only had almost half a tank (could have made it all the way home if they filled it up but I’ll get over it, lol).
We stopped back in Biloxi for dinner (wanted to try a restaurant we saw there and it was dinner time anyway), and I finally got to get some better pictures.
View attachment 98712View attachment 98713View attachment 98714
I want to give her a bath after the drive home and hopefully there’ll be some sunny weather to get a few better shots.

We also stopped by a fireworks store to pick up some goodies (getting some practice parking in crowded lots already) and someone had the audacity to leave a cart inches away from the front of my truck. I couldn’t see that it was hit but it just looked intentionally placed, like some thinly veiled threat of some kind!

I’m sure I will feel much more comfortable driving the truck after I get used to all the new features I’ve never had before, of which there are MANY and the closer we got to home, already it was feeling more natural.

When we got home my eldest kid was still up and she was ecstatic to see daddy’s new truck, and my father-in-law (who has a 2015 1500) was giddier than I’ve ever seen him! I tried talking him into a new one when I ordered and he didn’t seem interested, but since then my brother-in-law leased a 2021 1500 Built-To-Serve and I think seeing mine tonight, even in the dark…he might be ready to upgrade.
And Aaron, if you’re reading this, of course I’m not letting him go anywhere except to you.

Seriously, thank you to you and your team for the single greatest car buying experience I’ve ever had or heard of! The honesty and genuineness is very refreshing and even in the current market and reading other people’s stories (nightmares?) dealing with their salespeople trying to get them to back out of their deals, going back on pricing, neglecting the locked-in financing…I literally could not be driving this dream come true without you. So thank you and your whole team!!!

Also, since people have wondered, yes the window sticker had my name on it, and yes I got both key fobs (either the Limiteds get both regardless or the chip shortage has recovered enough to not effect the fobs). I’d add more pictures but the forum says 10 attachments are the limit.

It feels strange finally getting to “graduate” from the tracking thread, but it definitely feels like Christmas in July!
