I should correct my statement. It was likely issued on Monday. That VIN is 215189, and my new Rebel VIN is 215271 (which was issued on Monday). If that makes anyone feel any better...they're building 4 day-old orders, not 2 day-old orders.

I know mine is a Limited and they've been kicking out the models with less options, but there have to be people with the same models at lower VINs being passed by.
Could these maybe be trucks that were re-ordered because of damage upon delivery of other trucks? Maybe they are getting priority because the original orders were damaged in some way.

Does anyone know how long it takes to typically build once production starts? My truck was supposed to be "shipped" by November 18th, but don't think it has started yet. I'm hoping for a delay since I won't reach 60 days at PenFed til the end of December.

2-3 days. If your ESD is on 11/18, I'd expect it to be starting next Monday or Tuesday.

how do you figure with them building 50 per hour?
or are you including everything?
Engines are Mexican I believe!

Yea I'm talking about assembly. The 1500s are assembled here in Michigan.

The only logical explanation (not that logic applies here) I can come up with is that Ram screwed up by allowing so many unrestricted early orders because they didn't take the time figure out what their initial capacities would be. As such, once orders started being restricted (i.e., options removed, packages consolidated, etc.), those orders became much more likely to be built because their builds were congruent with what Ram could build. Following this same "logic," the reason we see such a high percentage of 185/200+ VINs being built is that all those VINs are streamlined for Ram's capacities.
All of us with early, unrestricted orders are suffering the fate of unending D-Status because we either have options that can't be built or our trucks can't be streamlined like the new, restricted orders.

The question was: how long does it take from start to finish?

So now that I have a build sheet, I’m gonna ask a stupid question …. What does that mean in terms of a status change from my current D1, and what would be a good guesstimate as far as when it might start heading down the line ?
