Rambox/E-torque order tracking

[Edwards]

So, what about the "bumper step"? Are they going to include/install it later?

No, they absolutely stood firm on that. They did order the bed extender mounts with no complaints though.

I ordered 5/10 and recently got the same sorry news, but I DID order the mythical brown lower paint, and they have decided they can't be bothered; so I had to modify my order and get back in line.

That's just weird. "1Raider" ordered Brown with the Walnut 2-tone and he already has his. Check his pictures a couple of pages back. You have to look close but definitely 2-tone.
Oh well, a lot of things we've been hearing don't make sense. Stay tuned.

I forgot to claim my crown for longest order to delivery! Picked it Wed night and that made it 140 days. Hopefully I was always retain this title meaning that no one has to wait as long as I did!
Absolutely loving the truck BTW!

Long live the KING!

Do we know for sure they removed them because FCA decided they were a liability? Because the same liability attaches to them if they are still making them available for purchase.

Not a fact, but why else would they do this? The only other reason would be cost reduction. If that was the case, they would redily offer the kit as an option. The reason we can still add the connection points is because they are available as parts for the prior year models and still fit the 2019.

Who knows the real reason?

I don't think you'll get the bed lights but I think the bed DIVIDER is included with the Rambox option. The Divider has the bed extension feature but the truck is missing the attachment post. FCA decided it was a liability and removed them. You can buy the mounting post if desired.

So are you saying that if you order the ram boxes, the truck is coming through without the bed lights? I ordered the bed utility group. Will the truck come through with the bed step as well? I'm in D1 status. Ordered a Longhorn in white 3 coat with ram boxes no e torque, new black and saddle interior. Really wish I would have ordered e torque, but was afraid, since it's so new to the 5.7 liter.

I am no expert. I have just researched and read that some have received the Divider with Rambox only while others have not. I'll have to defer to others on the bedlights too. Strike what I said earlier! All I can say with certainty is that a Limited 4WD with Ramboxes, Off Road Group, and every other available option (except towing) will have all the listed accessories. Otherwise, the online build site is hit or miss on a few items.

My Longhorn order has all the options except e torque and towing (wanted the Birdseye view mirrors), so I am crossing my fingers and hoping for the best.

Waiting for this order to get here has been most stressful.

Ordered same build

Bed lights are there, one on each side as is the lights in the RAMBOXES, both sides x2 lights. Also, light above rear window. Plenty of lighting. I also ordered the Bed Utility Group.

Any chance you have a copy of the Work Authorization Request form?

Yessir!

 

[ExcursionDiesel]

Would be really helpful if members would include their truck model and options in their signature for reference.

Hmm... I don’t know about D1... but I’m at 152 days since order... technically went D1 on 7/1... so I guess it’s 92 days since first D1.

 

[The_Chemist]

Ordered same build

Cool!

Ordered same build

When did you order yours? What is your ETA? Mine was ordered 8/22. My ETA to the railroad yards is 10/4. I'll have to call early this week and see if it is on schedule. If it is, I may take delivery within a few weeks.

With RamBox and BUG you will get everything listed except the bed extender mounts (four pins/handles that actually make the RamBox divider usable as an extender) and the bed step.
Seems like ~100% who've argued that they ordered it back when Ram acknowledged the "extender" have been able to get the dealer to order the extender mounts as warranty items that Ram neglected to install at no charge.
If you are king of the salesmen, you might be able to get them to also order the bed step at no charge but to the best of my knowledge no one has been able to pull that off. My dealer happily ordered the mounts but wouldn't budge on the bed step.

Wonderful, so the first thing I have to do uponn taking delivery, is argue and fight with the dealer. I guess I'll get to see just how good "Freedom Auto Group" is! Hopefully they'll be customer oriented and get me what was listed as included at the time of ordering.

Spotted in the wild. Still taped up and wrapped in plastic like I asked them to do. Sitting away from the fray. Looks like Rambox doors are both sitting a little high. The bed cover isn't seated at the rear as reported here. Everything else looks square and tight.

Nice Truck, exactly like the one I ordered, except I don't have the sunroof. Can you post a picture of your payload sticker.

Since I requested "don't touch, don't wash", I got the chance to inspect the exterior as shipped. The body panels are reasonably aligned although the seams aren't perfect. As long as it isn't obvious and nothing rubs, that's fine. The doors are aligned well. The tailgate is offset 1/16" to the right and the right tail lamp assembly isn't flush to the body.

I'll request that the rambox lid heights and right tail lamp are adjusted.

This truck has a very smooth paint job. It's as if it was buffed out. I found evidence of buffing compund in the seams but couldn't find any signs of repair. There is hardly any peel texture on the truck and reflections of street lights where like looking at a mirror. My Jeep had a medium peel and reflections appeared a little distorted. Anyone else notice this?

I'm critiquing the truck pretty hard. Overall, it's very nice on the exterior. I am NOT complaining!

It really bothers me that "American" auto manufacturers let things out of the factory improperly aligned.

I own a 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe AWD Limited (made in Georgia), and the body seams are all in perfect alignment. No slop to be found anywhere! Why can't the big three do that as well. Usually the personnel at the dealership makes it worse when they try and fix what the factory screwed up!

Beautiful truck!!!!! I have an ivory 3 coat Longhorn coming soon.....

I wish you the best of luck with yours!

Picked up my Granite Limited yesterday morning. Have had very little time with it so far as we are busy harvesting in the field.

But thought I would drop just a couple photos
