My truck arrived at the dealership today. 62 days order to dealer (not a bad turnaround in my opinion), 24 days BS to dealer, and 23 days WS to dealer.
Now, here is the issue with my truck order. I noticed on the BS (3/21/2022) that the truck was built with 18x8 painted wheels (stock OEM laramie wheels) and 275/65/18 Falken OWL Offroad tires (see pic). The truck was ordered with the Night Edition and Off Road Group which should have came with 20x9 BLACK wheels and 275/55/20 Falken OWL Offroad tires, verified when building the truck on the RAM site. Triple_B looked into the data for all the 2022 Laramie builds with night edition and off road group and found a small number of trucks came with 18 inch wheels, somewhere around 30 trucks lately. Not sure if this is a mistake at the plant or a wheel shortage for the black 20s.
I plan to take delivery of the truck tomorrow, but not sure what direction to take on the wheel issue with my dealership here in MO, or even what options are available to me as the customer. The dealership has been awesome to deal with through the truck ordering process and they have outstanding customer service ratings.
All other options I ordered have been verified to be on the truck. I do plan to put aftermarket Fuel wheels and Nitto tires on the truck within the next week and had planned to sell the OEM wheels and tires. Unfortunately, there is a resale value difference between the stock 18s and black 20s. I am wondering if the dealer will just order me the correct 20 inch black wheels or if RAM will just credit some money towards my purchase price. We'll see how this all works out.
