Ram 1500 orders - Tell Us About Yours!

Well boys I picked it up yesterday. Was met with mixed emotions. My eye immediately picked out what they told me was a defect in the paint. Needless to say I was freaking out. Then last night driving it for the first time at night I was really disappointed in the headlights. I just made a post about this in the general discussion area. They are not good for my poor night vision. Its super nice to have a brand new truck but honestly wondering if i just made a big mistake. This is my first Ram. Have been a Ford truck guy for a long time.

What is the defect? Unfortunately the halogens on the Bighorns aren't the greatest. Easy fix with an upgraded LED bulb or later replace the whole housing with the reflector LED headlight. Edit: I just saw the BH comes with the LED reflector headlights. I had them a HD 2500. No issues with my failing eye sight. Haha.

There is really no way to know. The dealership should be able to provide you with an estimate. When my truck shipped, they told me the dates and it was Saturday to Saturday. The trucks are built in Michigan. My truck was scheduled to get on the train on the 18th and it exited the train on the 23rd but it only had to go to Chicago and then a transport took it from Chicago up to the dealership. But i live in east central WI. So needless to say it didn’t have to go far.

Unfortunately, you live across the country and I’m sure it will be making stops along the way to drop off vehicles for other dealerships in other states.

So I ordered my truck in April and got the $6500 incentive but June has employee pricing and $3000 which the build page says total of $8022 off. The dealer is saying Aprils deal is better. What am I looking at wrong?

Some one smarter than me can probably explain it better, but I think the employee pricing goes in place of the dealership discounts. So while the total amount off from Stelantis is higher, I don't think they can further discount the price. I could be very wrong here, but that's my best guess. Like I got 8k off MSRP from dealer plus 8.5k off in incentives, or I could take the 10k employee pricing + the 3k incentive. I'm better with the 8k off MSRP.

Glad to hear it. Hopefully I’ll hear something on mine soon. So far it’s still just scheduled.

Very similar for me as well; ordered 4/26, and scheduled 5/2. Still waiting on production.

Buildout for 2025 Ram Trucks is coming! 2026 Ram Production is supposed to start mid June. They got to get your into production very soon! I expect mine will be in Huntsville. Al mid next week. I hope so, because I have back surgery on the 18th of June. I would like to drive it a little bit before surgery. After surgery my wife gets to drive it, and that scares the hell out of me!!
 
Just got an email letting me know it's at the port. Now to wait for it to get on truck and over to Mark Dodge!
 
My new Ram is sitting at the dealership! Waiting for my call to come picker-up! Not bad, ordered on May 1, and at dealership on June 11. I hope I get the call tomorrow…

Not bad at all. Ordered mine 21 Apr. It's sitting at the Port. So close...
 
I put a deposit on a bighorn quad cab, 3L, level 2, sport package, etc... early May. No email from Stellantis. No
word from the dealer. Doing a build online I could not order the sport package with a quad cab. Dealer claims
this is not true. I guess I am going do have to pay them a visit.
