Order Tracking

[AdamChandler]

I think mine will be the last 2021. Ordered January 5th and still waiting. I think they should make mine an honorary '22.

I'm not sure I could be making jokes if I were in your shoes. That's inexcusable. You could have ordered 2 more trucks since then.

Welp, dealer wouldn’t honor their price for a new build to get it right. Wanted me to accept the truck as is with the different interior color. I told them the interior color was the main reason for factory ordering, and since that was wrong, it would have to be a significant markdown, which they refused. The sales manager insisted I didn’t want to buy a truck (this is because after 7 weeks the dealer told me they didn’t know anymore when the truck would be built, so I said if you can’t tell me when it’s going to built I would like my deposit back. They responded the next day by telling it would be built the next week and I said great!) and continued to blame me for not catching their mistake. I got my deposit back and moved on!

So Sarah at ram chat told me my truck is STILL in the inspection stage ~ and is there for up to 2 Weeks! Ugh… I think it still has to go for options (bed liner, BUG, etc) across the street after that… the wait continues… no window sticker for you, Mr. Impatient.

If you live in northern illinois, don’t go to Tyson Motors.

That was your best bet. I would probably call that dealership in Louisiana that everyone is talking about.

Have you not asked for it to be escalated?

Posting in case my timeline is helpful or informative to anyone (see signature). FWIW, the window sticker has shown up this morning only at chrysler.com and not yet at dodge.com or ramtrucks.com. Also I had registered at cryptostickers long ago and they sent me an email on the build sheet about 4-6 hours after it starting showing up though the manual links...not bad. I have only checked my status with Ram Chat two times throughout this entire process, that might make me the self-restraint champion of this thread...haha.

Thinking ahead, because I have awhile..
For those that ordered their Ram at a faraway dealer >1000 miles..
did you go to pick up the truck when it was ready or have it shipped?
I would like to hear the + and - .
For me I am in San Diego and Truck will be in Seattle ish..

I don’t quite fit that profile—mine truck isn't ready yet, and I'm about 700 miles from the dealer—but I'll share my decision anyway: I'm going to pick mine for these reasons:

1. To make absolutely sure there's nothing wrong with the vehicle.
2. I may decide to trade in my current truck, meaning a drive-and-drive vs fly-and-drive.
3. Might as well make a mini-vacation out of it and visit coastal Louisiana.

Of those, only the first is generally applicable.

I'm about 1200 miles away. Will be flying and driving.
-Plane ticket is cheaper than shipping
-I have no problem driving that far
-I can swing through some distilleries when I pass through Kentucky

1- that makes sense - inspecting the vehicle and making sure its as expected as well as signing the deal /financing in person rather than phone and email. for that reason alone it may be worth it for me .

I ordered from a place a little over 1500 miles away and my plan is to fly and drive. I want to be able to look over the truck, and it should be fun to put some miles on it. Shipping would definitely run more out of pocket up front. However, if you consider the all-in costs for driving, it would probably be less expensive for me to ship it (especially with an overnight stop involved).

So I have a question, My son wants to order a new ram, is there a link that he can go to to track or watch the build time line? or to know at least how long he has to wait to get a new vehicle the way he wants it? all i can find is this general time line. http://www.napletonfleet.com/run_static.php?htm=order_to_delivery.htm this is for all makes and models

that page says 8-10 weeks but the dealers have been quoting 12-13 and that seems to be more accurate.

 

[Desert Snow]

I’m in Arizona and ordered probably from the same dealer as you — Bud Clary in Auburn, WA. I want to see the vehicle before buying it. I also have a ton of airline miles so my wife and I will fly to SeaTac free, then make a mini-vacation out of the 1,500 mile trip home along the Oregon and California coast.

Wow. Especially because they could have honored your price for the new truck and charged full price for the new truck now on their lot. Sounds like they just wanted you to back out so they could sell it at full price to someone else to make more profit...

My build sheet showed up today, can someone remind me what that really means? How long before it typically ships?

Build sheet comes when the assembly line is complete. if you have accessories then you still have to wait, but window sticker comes when it's ready to ship.

Just got my indigo/frost and glad I went with that. I like it better than the black I see in a lot of trucks.
