She is at the dealer!! I noticed in the pictures that I don't have the dark turn signal on the mirror. Also those mirrors look huge.
If you don't mind, can you confirm the lack of smoked mirror lenses when you take delivery? That's a little concerning - not sure how/why they put a 2022 mirror on your truck. Unless this is a bigger trend, and they're just putting on whatever parts they can find in the corner.

Just realized that @Chaos79 and I have the exact same build. Would definitely love some more photos when you get the chance so I can pretend it's actually mine!

Shipped on 2/1. That day they told me 3/9 ETA. On 2/4 they changed it to a 2/15 ETA. At the dealership in Leesburg,VA today by 9:45am.
@TACKLEBOX do you know if your truck came by train to MD like most to NoVA or did it come by truck? Would be curious to know since yours was built a couple weeks after mine and has arrived but mine is still "waiting to ship". Regardless...congrats!!!!

I honestly have no idea. I'll ask the dealer, but they were shocked it was here today.

I think it doesn't look blacked out because of the angle the picture was taken from.

Are those pictures from the same truck?? And you're sure that they're both smoked lenses? They look completely different. Here's a picture of the two types side-by-side. There should be no mistaking one for the other.

Thx...If you could get a copy of the "leg" info that would be great. I'm just trying to decide if I need to complain or just sit back and wait (not that complaining will get it here any quicker).

Yes, same truck from a different angle.
The lens is still clear, only the housing has been blocked out and appears silver from that one angle.

are smoked mirrors on all 2023 or just Night Edition? I agree those do not look smoked.

I don't know about ALL trucks, but all of the TRX's are shipping with smoked mirror lenses (and there's no such thing as Night Edition on the TRX).

Just got the call I've been waiting for since Sept. Truck is at the dealer. Unfortunately I'm right by the dealer today at work.. but my car that I'm trading in, title, and spare key at 50 min away at my house. Looks like another day of waiting, but she is here!
congrats, @TACKLEBOX , the looooong wait is almost over - enjoy! :cool:

you can ask your dealer for the dealer connect report it will show where truck is.
Thx @bigdodge I get those connect reports and its showing sitting waiting to get on a train. I was just trying to see if maybe others are getting them sent via truck vs train. Its all hard to understand. I guess I just need to be patient. Sigh...

Just received a text from Ram, that my truck has shipped. Never made it to the pizza tracker. I'm local so my salesman checked, and it shows going to Connor rd yard. Evidently local, they ship there until enough to fill a truck for dealer. He said next week.

As you can see in my signature, mine started production the 6th. ETA was 2/28. I used Justin, he sold me my Durango. He's great too! Maybe see you there lol.

Wow, I see you ordered in Sept. That's a long wait.
