What does a status of BS on the tracker stand for? I don’t see it on any of the status code posts, and my searches have failed because BS is used far more often for Build Sheet, so that’s all that comes up.

I also see that my RAM tracker shows 1/28/2023 as my ETA now instead of @triple_B reported 1/20/23. Time to just settle in and kick back, will be nice to take a break from checking this thread every minute of the day lol
I only have time to update the sheet twice a day, once in the morning and again in the evening (roughly every 12 hours) So as of this mornings post your ETA was still 1/20. Every member will always get the most accurate information by just checking the tracker themselves at any point inbetween my morning and evening post.

I laugh a little everytime I see you still show up in Frame and think, he only has a "spaciousgarage" because he has no truck parked in it. :p

Seriuously though, hope we see some movement on your truck soon.

it is just that, you have a Build Sheet. The RAMTRACKER doesnt actually show that intermediate step at all and goes straight from In Production to Shipped. I didnt like it still being reported at E / Frame like the RAMTRACKER so I just change the status to BS since you have finished on the main assembly line and have a Build Sheet now.

I went into production 12/11 and talked to my dealer Monday. They said I was shipped to the body vendor. I was hoping to get done before things slowed down before the holidays but that's looking less than likely at this point.

I'm not very good at this patience thing.

Don't lose faith yet my brother. My Pizza Tracker says my truck hasn't even been shipped. But I have confirmation that my truck was sent from the body vendor to the train on the 17th. My truck is almost here in Kansas City, as it left the Toledo rail yard Tuesday Morning on its way to KC. So don't lose Faith man things happen and they're not even being tracked correctly.

I hear ya, Atvdinner and share your experience. This is our first special order vehicle as well. We're trying to move over from Toyota to Ram. We chose to go with Longhorn edition with the V6 because were not towing anything but upgraded with Level 1, Sunroof, etc. We ordered in mid Aug and dealer said 'around 3 months'. We were hoping to have it THanksgiving, then Christmas, then maybe Jan, now who knows. It seems like Longhorns are being produced now and they're showing up on dealer websites now too, however they look like Hemis and I haven't seen any dealer sites showing a Longhorn with the upgrades we wanted. Our special order appears to be an outlier with that V6 and my fear is that it ain't getting done any time soon. Had I known this we'd probably have gone with a Longhorn Hemi from 2022 or even a Limited and have been driving it for half a year now. Instead all the ones we could have purchased are gone and so now we wait. And don't get me started on the FWP vs MSRP pricing or the potential affiliate pricing discount - all things I learned on this forum and didn't know going in. Such is life for a #RamNoob but maybe there's hope for the future in 2023?
Helpfuldad, my wife and I have also ordered a longhorn in September with the level 1 upgrades and such. Though the only difference I've noticed between our orders is the engine. We ordered the 5.7 and I've noticed our order and your order are the only longhorns left to be in D status. Of course that's as far as the forum members go. Of the 5 members who ordered a longhorn me and you are the only ones with no movement. 2 of the 5 ordered the diesel so I guess they get first in line. Then the last one of the bunch, StickVA, must have pulled a higher card out of the deck than we did. As far as what info is available to us publicly, StickVA's order is similar to mine so not sure where the priorities are going. Maybe if I say I'm from Texas they'll get my longhorn to me quicker ;)

PickleFnRick...I wish I knew what the magic is/was for mine going to D1 and I would certainly share it! Lol. I hope yours goes to D1 soon. I'm now sitting and waiting for mine to change again...as many have said...its painful. I also know there will be a big slow down over the next couple weeks due to the holidays so I'm trying to temper my expectations. Anyway, wishing all the forum members to get a big status change for Christmas!

Good info, PickleFnFick, it's a mystery, right? At this point I think getting a hold of Wonka's Golden Ticket would be easier than getting our hands on the Longhorns we ordered. And so we wait...

I’m hoping that’s the case with mine. Domino’s still says my truck is built but not shipped since last weekend. But it still has an ETA to the dealer of 1/8.

What railroad brings the trucks out of SHAP? CSX or NS?

Eighty, you said there's only been one '23 GT produced so far. Someone on a Facebook group just told me RAM isn't making any GT's for 2023 at all. Anyone hear anything about this, or is that guy just blowing smoke?

One Laramie Gt that was a production eval. There has been plenty of rebel gts produced.

If that answers your questions.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I ordered a Laramie G/T. I can't imagine they just wouldn't build any this year with it being such a popular package. I've never been a fan of the Rebel front end.

According to the destination ramp, it's being moved by the NS.

Funny story: A junior associate at my dealership sent me a text Tues. morning at 9:14 saying 'I'm showing your truck at the storage yard in N.KC. I was like, 'WTF'!! He confirmed again that it is here. At this point I am making plans to drive the 45 minutes to get there and escort my new truck to the dealership. 😁 😁 The excitement was overwhelming, as many of ya'll could imagine. Then.... I remembered that this same guy called me like 5 weeks ago telling me that my truck was at the dealership. Again, Overwhelming excitement petered out when I asked him to verify the VIN#, then about 10 minutes later I get a text saying 'sorry to inform you, but I f''''d up. That was a Blue '22 they ordered months before.
So, keeping this in mind, I called and talked to the sales manager who told me he jumped the gun...a little. BUT, the tracking that he looked up said my truck just left the Toledo railyard and was headed to the N.KC railyard, and he couldn't really speculate on the arrival date but 'could be here soon'. I'm still waiting for the next text, or phone call.

As mentioned above, the single Laramie G/T was a Production Evaluation Run vehicle. Links to BS and WS are below (yes, it was stickered - so I guess it is for sale somewhere). I can't speak for whether they're actually going to build them for production. If they took the orders, then you'd think they intend to build them. But it wouldn't be the first time that they take orders and just ignore them.

My Big Horn has been stuck in “I” status since 11/28. Pizza tracker still says it’s “in production” with a dealer delivery date of 12/25. Any December delivery date seems highly unlikely now. It’s like the truck is in purgatory. 🤣
