I did just that, ordered a Laramie in September. Then found out they quit putting fender flares on the Laramie. Went into dealership on December 19th and new Sales Manager said I could order a Limited for a little more as I had so many options on the Laramie. Well the Limited came in just a few days over 3 months. i just received an email rhe Laramie was finally built.
I was looking at other trucks yesterday. The Ram really does have everything I want, and no other truck does. But my patience has limits. I won't be sitting around until April or May with no truck because Ram can't get its sh!t together. And if there is anything wrong with the truck if it ever gets delivered before I say F it (damage, something doesn't work, whatever), I'm done with Ram.
I agree. I test drove an F-150 before ordering the Ram (I don't remember the trim, but it was not a Tremor or Raptor), and the price point was similar to the Rebel but felt super cheap inside. Everything felt like flimsy plastic. I also felt every single bump in the road, and the acceleration was very weak and clunky compared to the Rebel. Hopefully yours comes in this week. Unbelievable that mine still hasn't shipped. Mine was built only two days after yours and two days before yours shipped. Maybe they just couldn't fit mine on the train too, and so I'm stuck waiting around for a month before they get another train going to Jessup, MD.
What I did not like on the 2023 Fords, none had the heated steering wheel. They gave you a small credit.
Yeah...same thing happened to me. I saw a train leave SHAP on 1/16. Mine was built on 1/18. It finally shipped on 2/15, almost a month later. Now @spithead051 and my trucks are sitting 45 min away waiting for a truck. Its been sitting there for a week now with no estimated delivery date on the dealer connect report.
I'm sitting here waiting for mine too and my dealer called me on January 24th to tell me it was on a train between Michigan and Iowa
When it gets to Iowa, it's around 1 state away so you wouldn't think it would take too long, but it's been over a month with around another 3 weeks as an estimated delivery date Understood, but also saying he is willing to take a stock truck...not one ordered to his specs. Unless of course you can order and receive a Raptor quicker. There are many loaded Rebels out there built and on the lot. If I was done waiting on my order I wouldn't skip those for a Raptor unless I was giving Ram the middle finger and moving on altogether. But I am sure it will arrive soon, it's built.
how do you know where the truck actually is? Mine says built but estimated delivery is March 21st...which I am fine with...but wondering how you are able to keep track of location once built.
@Trippi ask your dealer for the Dealer Connect data. Looks like the attached. Shows all the shipping info.
I just don't buy that there's only one train going from SHAP to Jessup, MD every 30 days. There are too many Ram dealerships in the DC area.
Me either which, again, makes it even more infuriating. Same with trucks from Jessup to VA. Gotta be at least 1 a day but probably more.
Who owns the railyard --> dealership shipment via truck? I have always assumed that the dealership owns that leg, but just an assumption.
Not sure. I'm "told" all the shipping from the plant to the dealer is handled by Ram.
How does that effect an invoice though? I figuered once invoiced and that invoice was approved, the ownership would change. I could be wrong but that's how I thought of the process.
