The way things have been going around here, you’ll get your truck before the guys that ordered in May/June.

Can anyone help me with this please? Do the 2022 ram 3500‘s come with a 2.5“ or 3” receiver? I know they are class V but I haven’t been able to drill down further. Will it depend on whether it’s an HO or SO? Thanks in advance.

Idk it’s so all over the board who getting what built it’s crazy for sure. I’ve seen guys go 2 months to get a vin to the same day. I did opt out the sunroof since was warned it will cause delays and unknown when be built

Build codes.
Unscheduled:
BA
– order entered in system by dealer
BB – fleet order only – review by bid department
BD – special equipment processing
BE – edit error – coding error which must be corrected before order can be scheduled
BG – order has passes edit but cannot be scheduled regardless of sold status
BX – good order available for scheduling

Reason Codes:
F – Finance hold – automatic cancellation after 15 days
B – Model or option build out. Your order exists but isn't fully confirmed yet. Plant doesn't know about it yet. Systems are checking the order to ensure it's valid in terms of sales codes.
L – Material restriction
M – Material hold (fleet)
ZA – canceled order

Scheduled:
C – Tentative schedule. Your order is "subfirm". The plant can see the order at this point but it's not fully committed to building as the supplier may or may not be able to get parts to the plant to build the vehicle.
D – Firm schedule: serial number assigned. Firm order. Your order now has a name instead of a number:
D1 – Gate line: unit sequenced for production, est. ship date assigned.
The date is set for your truck to be built. The plant knows when it should have parts sequenced for building and it should start to be built within 48 hours of the date set.
D2 - It's going to be built. The computers are being programmed, materials are being sequenced, framing is about to occur.

Build:
E – Framing. Metal is welded together to form the body and frame. The body is inspected at the end of this step to ensure it's within tolerances.
F – Paint. The metal is coated, primed, sprayed, clearcoated, polished, inspected, and hand finished if necessary.
G – Trim. The engine is installed in the chassis, the interior is installed, the chassis is mated to the body, the bed is put on. At the end of this, your new vehicle is built.

Built:
I – unit built, pending final inspection. Your vehicle goes through a battery of shakedown tests and measurements are taken to ensure the vehicle looks and performs as expected.
J – Vehicle passed final inspection but not released to carrier
Get your Build Sheet here: https://fcacommunity.force.com/RAM/s/equipment-listing
(Build sheet input is CASE SENSITIVE)
JB – shipped to body vendor. JB/KZP-The vehicle is sent off site to have a spray liner put in, steps, etc.
JE – shipped to emissions
JJ – consigned to body vendor
JS – shipped to storage
KZ – released by plant and invoiced. The truck is ready to be shipped. The dealer is actually charged for the truck. As you all know, this can be a source of delay. Typically you see two statuses here: Awaiting Shipment and "Staged for Shipment".

You can get your (Monroney) window sticker here (add your VIN to the end) once it's KZ-L or KZ-M: https://www.chrysler.com/hostd/windowsticker/getWindowStickerPdf.do?vin=

Traffic Codes:
KZ L – released but not shipped
KZ M – first rail departure
KZ N – first rail arrival
KZ O – delayed/received
KZ OA – plant hold, quality audit
KZ OB – zone, dealer, sales, vehicle prep, tax, diversion or derailment hold, dealer refusal, vehicle diverted
KZ OC – carrier delay, strike-bound, emission or safety hold, rail car shortage, bad or insufficient load, inclement weather, need shipping order, manifest error
KZ OD – mechanical failure, glass damage, vehicle in repair, lacking parts or storage hold
KZ OE – misdropped or misshipped vehicle
KZ OF – shipped air freight, stolen vehicle recovered, show vehicle, test info code, vessel sailed
KZ OG – damaged vehicle, stolen vehicle, abandon to carrier, vehicle scrapped, donate vehicle, repair and auction
KZ OH – all other “O” type carrier codes

So where do you view these codes, or do you have to ask dealer or Ramchat?
 
Confirmed our builds today, orders will be placed first thing Monday morning. Ordered the wife a 2500 lone star mega cab and myself a 3500 tradesman drw. I suppose we shall see which one gets built first?

That looks good!...it's the best color they offer this year.

Congratulations and have lots of fun with it!
*Offered this year.

I was told by two dealers that it isn't possible to order Olive green anymore. Which was disappointing. I had to settle for Dominico red when I ordered my Power Wagon.
 
So I was wondering, would Sandi keep me update as my order moves to different codes or will I needed to message her? I know she's busy and don't want to annoy her.
 
“You are safe with the pricing. As a sold order your price and incentive is from the date of order. “

In an email. Screw it, I’ll wait for it. Safety group on the tradesman sounds worth it.
 
Everything comes back in style. My grandparents had a Dodge Polara back in the 70s in that color. That’s all I think of when I see the Rams in this color. :D
Mine too!! When my grandma stopped driving I bought it and my family drove it for a few more years! LOL...full circle for me I guess.
