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.

Truck built and shipped! How long til it gets to Huntsville, Alabama?
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.

My dealer quoted me 2-3 weeks from ship date in Missouri
 
Checked today at Dealership, and my new Ram 1500 is in Ohio, making its way to Nashville, Tn. There it Wii offload from train, and come to Huntsville, Al by truck! Expect it next week!
