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

[Jake L]

Be careful what you wish for….pressuring these factories apparently leads to total crap builds. At least in my case.

I would much rather still be waiting on a build than taking delivery yesterday, driving for 2 hours only to have a catastrophic failure of the entire Uconnect screen/system with no known solution from the dealer, FCA or Uconnect. The Uconnect 5 Nav 12” option is all new for 2022 so they apparently don’t yet have an issues/solutions database. Lucky me. Their only advice is to NOT drive truck because they can’t confirm that systems like crash avoidance, lane departure, adaptive cruise, high beams, etc will work as all those settings are fed through the failed Uconnect System.

I was just going to drive it with no radio or climate control but no go. It has to stay parked with less than 2 hours of use. I told the dealer I was having it towed back and to not sell my trade as I wanted to return the truck and unwind the whole purchase. He said that is not possible. So…I do indeed have a brand new 2022 build that was ordered in August and received yesterday.…. with big a## payments, but it cannot be driven until further notice with no known remedy and no timeline and likely no chips/parts even if the problem is ever is diagnosed!

Believe me, I would rather have an order waiting on parts in Mexico. At least then I would still have a slim chance at a decent build, no payments and still have the truck I traded away yesterday instead of Uber bills to get me to work.

By the way, I’ve already decided that if they take this dead truck back, my next order is going to be for a Tradesman with radio delete...and hand crank windows!!

Ive got the cooled seat button's who needs to make use of the $4000 Harmon Kardon system that they paid for anyway?

I’m supposed to have cooled and heated seats too, but I’m not sure if they ever got installed….there is no button to press. The only way to turn those on is through the god forsaken Uconnect screen….that doesn’t work

yeah I got the 8.4 because i dont need the 12 inch screen and I like buttons. But i never thought i would need it because the screen broke

First post as a somewhat proud owner of a 2022 Laramie Night Crew gasser. I was very proud for the first hour or so but then the 12" screen COMPLETELY FAILED taking down about 30 associated features (all the cameras, radios, climate control, lane departure, seat heat, collision avoidance, auto-highbeam, etc, etc, etc). Now I have an expensive boat anchor in the garage.

Of course, there are no parts, no expertise and no solutions from anyone on the Uconnect 5, 12" package which is all new for 2022. I am trying to get the dealer to take the truck back forever and order me a new one since this one is only a few hours old. Probably a pipe dream there.

ANYWAY...I do have all kinds of details about the features that are included in this build if anyone is interested. It was ordered early August and received Oct 4th through rail in Nashville with 7 miles on it. Oddly, it shows 3 hours of idle time. Maybe during loading/unloading they let them run.

The only option that appears to be missing is blind-spot-monitoring BUT I do seem to have two camera connections on the bumper (like Jimmy07) that were not on the original build sheet! I believe one is to connect a trailer camera to the rear-view-mirror (screen) and the other is to connect a camera to the Uconnect screen (that doesn't turn on lol). Not sure as I can't get into the screen to configure or view any camera feeds.

If anyone has any questions about the 2022's, let me know!!

In a lot of states there is a law that allows you to take back a vehicle within 3 days of taking ownership. If that doesn't work then lemon law.

Well I really dont want to rub salt in the wounds here, but just pointing out how they must be pulling builds out of a hat.......

I ordered on Sept 10th, and went to D1 the end of Sept with a Estimated ship date of 11/4. Called to check on the progress today and my ship date has moved to 10/26! Nice surprise for me!

What did you order?

 

[CJTEX]

Apparently, the PW22' can be ordered in a different interior color than black??

While passing the time waiting for by build ordered 8/3, I have seen pictures both ways on the interior which shows a standard shift lever on the steering wheel for which I've had forever. Then I see some pictures with a knob on the dash with P R N D. So, on a 2022 is it a shift lever or a knob on the dash?

Diesel gets the lever, Gas gets the know. 1500 is knob only.

Hemi’s get the dial shifter. Cummins get the column shifter. 1500 TRX and GT get a centre console shifter

Wait till they are all knobs.

Wait till they are all knobs.

Or worse, touchscreen buttons

I just got this from my dealer when I asked the status of my truck: Chrysler system just says TBD to Spokane, what ever that means?

Hmmmm...my dealer didnt mention that and instead referred me to the regional Uconnect rep!

Back in June when I ordered the ram the Ford dealer told me January if I was lucky....

Ford dealer told me it would be a April or May delivery is you order now

 

[Shooter88]

Well Stellantis confirmed what Ram Chat told me. My parts have been received and they said my build should start before the end of the month. An insider showed me a screen that said my “Current Build Plan” was October 25th. Taking it with a grain of salt. Ordered 6/9 Laramie CC night Edition Gasser with sunroof and ramboxes

That is total cr@p, I’m assuming you at least have a loaner?
