2022 Ram HD Builds and orders - Post and discuss your TRUCK order here! ** NEW USERS READ POST #1 **

Does anyone know what the difference is between the 1500 and HD rambox latches? 1500 is first, 2500 second.

And I just notice a difference between the styling of the RamBoxes themselves, at least on the 2021MY.View attachment 22240View attachment 22241
The HD one is like the 1500 used to be. You push the round lock to open it. With the new 1500 you push the little button on the side. The new 1500 ram boxes seem much lighter than they used to be as well.
 
Ordered a tradesman but found 2 Laramies at a dealer about 1.5hrs from me. Debating on just going and getting one of them. Talked to them and was told they weren’t sold orders. Mines been built and sitting in storage for over a month with no ship date or eta.
 
I am not sure if it is due to the chip shortage or a shortage getting power folding mirrors, but this is why they are only available on the limited ATM.

It just keeps getting better, my Level B BH was ordered on June 14th
Stopped to see my dealer this afternoon. My BH is allegedly in a Chicago railyard. I am hoping we are still on track for the ETA of next week with the substantial amount of rail traffic from the west being "paused" by UP and BNSF to help clear up the Midwest's chokepoint. While there I did eyeball their 22 BH 2500 they recently got in. Nice.
 
Emailed with Sandi today and my Laramie 2500 est ship date has moved UP by a day to 9/24 from 9/25. However, there's no build sheet yet. Hard to believe they could actually get it built and shipped by this Thursday. Anyone know if "shipped" means on the train or just out of the factory?
 
I ordered 6/29; I am glad I called yesterday to inquire; If I had heard otherwise I would not have been pleased and started looking. It appears that NC has a couple dozen 2500/3500's BH's, night edition, various other options and trims.

Im in the same boat, ship date 9/25, no build sheet. D1 as of yesterday. Not optimistic.
 
The trucks leave the plant on Union Pacific RR (first link) and Then transfer to CSX (the second link) if going to the east coast




Actually, the Mexican railroad Ferromex pulls the loaded auto racks from the plant and brings them to the border (Eagle Pass, Tx) to be handed off (depending on the final destination of the particular railcar) to either BNSF or UP for them to hand off to a connecting carrier unless the destination auto terminal is online.

There are a number of auto terminals that handle east coast deliveries. It all depends on where the purchasing dealer is located.

It appears to me that UP and Kansas City Southern both have a presence in Mexico and there is not a hand-off at the border, but I don't work down there so I don't know for sure.

Interesting . Basically no way to track where your truck is during shipping haha . I’m in Massachusetts so no idea what carrier handles the East coast. Hopefully arrives scratch free

Same situation, ship date moved from 9/23 to 9/22 but dealer says they still dont have a build sheet as of today. Says we'll check tomorrow to see if it magically changes overnight to anything other than D1..
 
Ordered mine 6/10....last week dealer told me it on the assembly and he had a tentative ship date but didn't want to tell me in case there were delays....22 HO Laramie drw...
 
If it was on the assembly line last week, it would most likely be finished. You should have a build sheet available.

What is your VIN?
