2022 HD Crowdsourced VIN/Order Tracking

Poor power wagons..

ODS, is there any way to poll the xh7 option? I have a feeling it, like the xn1 is slowing most down.
So long as it appears as "Tow-Mode Camera (Wired)" on all build sheets (like it does on mine) it shouldn't be hard. In fact I'll add it right now and re-run my process.

I really think it takes getting down to this level of detail to explain why some trucks are being built and others aren't.

The only outrage which I think is somewhat justified at this point is the decision to prioritize the more profitable trucks. It would be nice if we observed them not get so far ahead on Limited trucks before getting to the Laramie and Big Horns. But.. they are a for profit company with relatively little (but of course strong) competition.
 
My previous post gave some detail on this. The build sheet will always come first and show up the day after the truck went down the assembly line but they are never posted on the weekend. So a truck built on Friday doesn't get its build sheet until Monday. However, window stickers show up 7 days a week the evening the truck is completed. So, possible scenario here. Your truck started on Friday, was completed and passed final QC on Sunday, got its window sticker but wouldn't have a its build sheet until the following day on Monday. This happens every weekend on the RAM trucks I am tracking.
This seems to be what happened in my case. That's interesting, thank you!
It looks like my truck was built on Friday after a big holiday (Mexico's Independence Day). This could mean the workers were refreshed, or it could mean some were hungover:oops:

I updated my post (#514) with a new column for the tow mode camera. It looks like they've built trucks with that feature almost all along. I wish I had a better way to get a sense of volume of trucks ordered with the option vs. the volume of trucks built with the option.

But over time I think it will be interesting to see if there are periods of time where significantly more or fewer trucks are built with one of these options. It might indicate supply chain issues.
 
When I look at all of this data, they haven't build a single Laramie with my options yet. So I dismiss the line of thinking they they're punishing early orders or they are starting from the most recently ordered trucks and are working their way backwards.

Now, if I had ordered a techless Tradesman in June or earlier and hadn't seen movement yet, I'd be pissed.
I am in the same boat. I filtered for my options and there is just 1 MegaCab 2500 Laramie built close to my same options (but with Sunroof=YES). This one was a pilot build.

It has Level 2 and mine has Level B, but I added BSM as a separate option so my understanding is that's effectively same as Level 2.

Same with @beckty85. They have not build any trucks ordered later than ours with all the same options.

Specifically- They appear to be hoarding blind spot monitoring components for Limited trims. They really aren't building any Laramies with those components.

So, it sucks. I want my truck. Badly. But they're just not building the specific combination of options that we ordered yet. Regardless of when they were ordered.

Which IMO is just wrong. The fact that a lot of us ordered less than a limited blindly before these ones getting built at this point. So if the tech is available for a limited they should build our trucks. I would have bought a limited but had to have a 6 seater.

I see that now. Only a handful of Laramies built with BSM in either 2500/3500.

I can't completely identify what might be holding yours back. But I'm also not parsing out all options at the moment.

It does look like they have built plenty of Cummins trucks with the options you ordered. But only 7 gas trucks with later sequence numbers.

I have not yet parsed out the night edition package or the upfitter switches. Maybe those are having an impact.
 
Mine is night edition. D1 date was 9/17 and dealer says estimated shipping date is 10/11
Same here. My night edition went D1 this last week, with a estimated shipping date of 10/11. What region are you in where the truck will be delivered?

Yeah, I can’t figure it out, either.

Mine is a June ordered level 1 Big Horn with Night Edition. No additional tech. Still in D status.
Other than power mirrors, I don’t see the hang up.
Also not following why they stopped the NE on all models but the Limited? Black rims must take a lot of chips…

It's the headlights
 
My halogens?? Lol
Was told I could not get LEDs with the level 1.

Emailed with Sandi at Mark Dodge today. I don't have a build sheet yet so I assumed that they probably wouldn't meet the estimated ship date of 9/25. But the newest POC shows they actually moved it UP by a day to 9/24. (Still pretty skeptical they're going to meet that.) Mine is a Laramie 2500 with BSM.
