Start of 2022 Production.

Got a call from the BDC rep at the dealership this morning that my truck has arrived at the Winston-Salem rail yard. He said they had a large number of trucks arrive they have to transport to the dealership (10 miles away) and process. Said it'll be the first of next week before I can pick it up. Finally a light at the end of the tunnel, lol.

I just got a call that mine will arrive in the Dallas
railyard this weekend. Dealer said I should be able to pick up sometime next week.

Still no window sticker for you yet, but here is a link to where yours will be once it is made available

They should be going to the databank for this information. Gotta train them.

They would probably love for you to cancel so that they can jack the price way up.

yep, and to deny them that is what fuels me.

The data doesn't support this. What are the most high-end models? Limiteds and TRX's. Lowest end - Big Horns (if you ignore Tradesmen). Now look at the data. They've built a lot more Big Horns and Laramies - both by the numbers and by the percentages.

Series	SUM of Ordered	SUM of Built
TRX	6848	925	13.51%​
Longhorn	4600	771	16.76%​
Limited	11802	2057	17.43%​
Rebel	9155	1852	20.23%​
Big Horn / Lonestar	35003	7255	20.73%​
Laramie	19562	4664	23.84%​
Sport	5388	1506	27.95%​
Tradesman	1005	362	36.02%​
Grand Total	93363	19392

Not to mention they charge us Canadians a bit more for the sports as well...

I’m new to this stuff so if their is no build sheet and it’s estimated to be shipped out Sunday. How’s that possible? Or am I missing something?

Because the estimated shipping date is meaningless. It's just there to keep you from asking so many questions. Same with estimated build date some dealerships put on the poc.

Correct, but there more of the upper trim levels being built overall than Big Horn/Lonestars

Based on the overall totals (bottom row), bighorns/lonestar are 37.5% of all built trucks. Thats a fair percent.

Isn't that kind of on par with what it should be considering the bulk of Trucks to be produced are those trim levels. Those are by far the most ordered, so it would make sense that they have the most descent production percentage thus far?

Oh okay. Nice and congrats. Lucky that you can use ram chat. Doesn’t work for us in Canada

Read an article yesterday that Ram is producing high end models with most profitability while they have parts for builds. Seems logical as I ordered 6/16, just a Bighorn 4x2 V6, 3.55 rear and Ram Boxes..maybe I’ll have it by Xmas?

I have an almost fully loaded Limited on order and still in D status as of last Friday, so not sure how much I believe that. My order went in on 6/26, and higher VINs are being built.

I have read similar articles, but they were specifically saying that Stellantis is diverting all chips to the highly profitable RAM trucks. Meaning that they aren't using the chips to build minivans and cars, not that they are using them for the higher tier RAM trucks but all RAM trucks in general as the profit margins are better on the trucks. ie. We all overpay for trucks!

 

[triple_B]

Ah, I see what you mean, but the math is wrong there too. You would need to add the ordered and built for those higher trims together then figure percentage. Otherwise adding the column percentage together is over 100%.

I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish by adding the percentages together because they are not percentages of the total of all trucks built, but rather just the percentage of each individual series of truck that has been built vs the total of that series ordered. So ideally each row would have 100% in the last column which would mean that all trucks that had been ordered had also been produced.

Its my understanding when they say high end RAM they are referring to DT as opposed to DS (CLASSIC) built in Mexico....

I would expect the DS would fall into the same category as the vans and cars in that hierarchy as well. I wasn't up to date on the DS options, so I just went and built one on RamTrucks. Full tech doesnt appear to be an option for those anyway so likely not a huge demand on the chips there like all the Advanced Tech trucks are.

You say that, but most of the time they either tell us jack, something confusing, or confusing jack.

I feel blessed that I happened to order my truck when these two decided to crunch more data than a Windows tech monitoring bug reports.

 

[triple_B]

Full scan completed, an additional 1210 build sheets found this morning.

Same here. I didn't catch all the details, but I heard a report on a radio news station recently where they're temporarily stopping production on the Cherokee's and Pacifica's to divert more chips to the Ram lines. Sucks for those waiting for their Jeeps and vans ...but good news for us Ram buyers.

They can do that because those aren’t big sellers right now.

 

[Cigarunner]

Dealer called yesterday and said my Ram goes to production week of October 25th. 5-7 days for build ,then 3-4 weeks for delivery. I have no confidence in that. Limited , Black, Ram boxes, Multifunction tailgate, Offroad package, Tech package.

 

[jheard2020]

Nothing better than being in "D" status and listening to people complain about being in inspection status. Lol!!!!! Just jealous I guess. It's like going to the casino and watching your friend win. I should be happy right?
