Skip the eTorque? Save 1500ish?
I'm a glutton for punishment
Skip the eTorque? Save 1500ish?
I had to wait on my initial order for 5 weeks as the eTorque/Ramboxes were on order hold, but eventually I was able to order.I'm new to the forum and just in fact getting ready to ready to order a Limited fully loaded, one dealer just told me that Ram is no longer accepting new orders until June, another told me that they are longer accepting orders for trucks that have Panoramic Sunroof due to parts restrictions, and one said he can get me truck in less than 6 weeks. Who should I believe? Has anyone else heard of restrictions or outright refusal for new orders?

I have a lease that ends in May so I figured I'd start the process a little early, but I'm absolutely okay with the new RAM coming in in less than the 8-12 weeks I was told.
Also, I wanted to get the "sport hood delete" but they got that "deer in the headlights" look and said it can't be done.
I’m sure you can find someone to swap hoods.

Dealer said not to expect first update for about 3 weeks, does that sound right to you guys? (also said to expect 8-12 weeks for the build)
