I ordered mine on the same day. It's been in D1 for weeks, and originally had a scheduled build date of 12/23, but when I checked w/ RAMchat on Sunday I was told it is still in D1. I've been holding of on getting the $1500 bonus cash from the website, as I don't want it to expire before the truck is available.
Now I'm getting a little perturbed. I just did the Ramchat and suddenly my status has changed to they are awaiting parts. Every other time I've checked it has been all parts are there and they are waiting on the build, and the dealer said it was in D1 status. It seems like this is moving in reverse.

Just got a text from the dealer. My truck is on the lot. 36 days from order to delivery. I'm not sure why there is such a difference between order times.
My best guess would be how many things you ordered and how long it takes them to get all the parts. I added quite a few things, so I'm guessing mine will take a while.

I think a lot of it depends on the options selected and the parts availability.

Mine is a rebel with pretty much every option except for leather seats and a sun roof. I was actually expecting delays because of all of the options.

Maybe model also has something to do with it? Just guessing 🤷‍♂️

Still at the factory is the word. I am thinking it will not be ready this year for shipping.
Mine was ordered back in August.
What did you ordered?
I ordered a fully loaded Laramie Diesel, I now have the window sticker, not sure if that means anything.

I knew it was built by pestering FCA. Emailed the dealership a couple of times. When I was told it was in shipping I checked the vin online and it popped up.

RAM Chat told on 12/28 that my truck was still awaiting to be built. My dealer told me a few days ago it’s estimated ship date is 1/7. Doesn’t seem to add up. This process of tracking an order seems like a crap shoot.

RAM Chat is now telling my order is in the "Trim Stage". Any idea where that leaves me time wise for shipping and delivery? Thanks.

My experience is that there is no clear cut way to accurately follow a truck build. You can get some decent information as to where it is in the build process but there are too many variables to determine a time frame for anything. I was told by dealership its on the way to NJ 5 days ago and FCA just told me its still waiting to be shipped and that shipping is done in lots. When there enough vehicles for a particular location it is then loaded up for shipping. According to that, which was literally 5 min ago, my dealer was just blowing smoke and my finished truck is waiting in a lot in MI. FCA had no dealer ETA.
As far as your specific truck, generally speaking once they start the build process it could take a week to finish depending on trim and if outside vendors are part of the process. Determining a shipping ETA at this point is way premature.

I might be a little late , but I would go over that truck with a Magnifying Glass.
With that long in transit someone was doing some bodywork to repair damage.

I ordered my Laramie on 9/30/20 and it was at the dealer's lot on 11/24/20.
it was a similar build to yours without the Pano Sunroof and Technology Package.
