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

Okay, now you have me thinking about tires. I never put any thought into tires as far as load goes.

I liked the look of the night package, but I didn't like the cost of just a few blacked-out items and 20-inch rims and tires. Guess I should have joined this forum earlier and asked more questions. So is the night package just blacked out Ram logos, rims, and mirrors or is there more to it? That was what the salesman told me at the time and then said its about 2K so I said nope,

The 285/60R20 and the 275/70R18 are essentially same load capacity - original post was going to upsize to 275/75R18 which has more load capacity than 275/70R18. Night pkg does not provide any more load capacity - it blacks out grill, etc, adds body colored bumpers, and adds black 20 inch wheels.

The night edition on the limited is only $1095. The grill, door handles, badges and emblems, tow hooks, mirrors are all blacked outand body colored painted bumpers. In addition to that the wheels go from 18” to 20”. I actually prefer 18” but really like the night edition and will change the tires and wheels to something that’s quality right when I get the truck. The OEM tires suck pretty badly.

I believe the price is less because the Limited starts with 20 inch tires - just not the blacked out wheels and of course the other blacked out items and the body colored bumpers. And unless things have changed the Night Edition is no longer available on lesser trims like the Laramie

My Nitto Grappler tires have about 4,000 miles on them, I think I’ll keep them and let them put my new Firestones on my trade in.

ordered my 2022 2500 Laramie HEMI on 9/4...was completed on 10/26...FCA says the ETA at the dealer is 11/19-12/01. I talked to the dealer today, they told me it was in Port Allen , and the ETA from FCA is accurate. I don't have the status code, is there a way that someone knows I can get and watch the different status codes?> I did find my VIN in the posted google doc link, but its info I already have. Thanks

I don't see your VIN on the tracker.

Hi I'm new to this forum. I've been using this forum for useful information about my Ram truck order for the past few months and decided to register so I could contribute what I could for those who have just ordered or thinking of ordering. I ordered a 2022 Ram 3500 Longhorn with the diesel. I ordered the truck Wednesday September 1 2021 and was told 8-12 weeks by my dealer, though they said it would likely be 12 weeks right now. Using the tools provided by you guys (the build codes, build sheet and window sticker links) I've been tracking my order as best as possible. The dealer has not volunteered any info but when I reached out they were helpful. The truck was ordered September 1, and actually built last week, the week of November 1, and I could get my build sheet on Friday November 5. I was able to get the window sticker this past Sunday November 7 meaning it was in at least KZ-L status (passed all inspections, released and ready to ship). My dealer told me Monday November 8 that it had shipped and was on the train heading this way and would take 3 weeks to arrive at the dealer (located in Northeastern Ohio). It's just under an 1800 mile distance from Saltillo Mexico by car, no idea what train track distance is but for the sake of estimating I'm going to assume it's close. From what I've read the train averages about 100 miles a day so that would be 18 days. If that is accurate the truck should be arriving around Thursday November 25 Thanksgiving, but maybe with the holidays just after. If all of this holds true the truck will have took almost exactly 12 weeks just as the dealer predicted it would.

More details on the truck since I've read that some of these features could add to the time it takes to get the truck: 2022 Ram 3500 Diesel, single rear wheel, pearl white, Longhorn, no sunroof, bed liner, fixed chrome side steps, rear deployable bed step, safety package with stop assist and lane departure, adaptive steering, digital rearview mirror, 8" touch screen with nav, self leveling air bags in rear, engine block heater, 20" polished rims, 50 gallon tank, chrome tow hooks. If I didn't list the additional option I most likely didn't get it.

Hope this is helpful! I'll try to remember to give an update once I actually receive the truck.

A window sticker does not mean its in KL, could be JS also.

Fo sure. Nitto’s are good. My favorite are Goodyear wrangler duratrack load range E. They handle rain, snow and mud well, still an all terrain but quite aggressive and they last almost 40,000 miles with my heavy footed driving style.

Dammit, I really believed my truck would have a window sticker. On the bright side, my maverick x3 x rs turbo rr showed up today

wellll ****. just found out I'll be losing my job at the end of the yr basically. After waiting since June and my truck is finally almost at the dealer, but I guess its better it didn't arrive yet since now I'll still have the large down payment I was going to put on it. So assuming I can get my deposit back, somebody might be happy with dennis dillon as a nice 3500 longhorn cc drw will be available!

prob could wing it and still get it, but better to play it safe just in case. Yes its a pity party for me!

Man, sorry to hear this, but keep your head up! Something similar happened to me a while back. I got laid off and a week later some yahoo totaled my wifes car (she was fine, but the car not so much). Bought another car using my old employer as my job, since they were still paying severance. A month later had a better job getting paid a lot more. It was truely a blessing. Our family is prating for yours brother. May you land on your feet with your head held high!

My favorite is bf Goodrich all terrain ko2 , looks aggressive, minimal road noise, minimal vibration, but I mainly drive on the highway so the tires are purely for looks... I will say that my last ones lasted a long time and despite getting many nails in them, I think they only needed to be patched once due to slow leak from a nail

Received my pacifier email today. Well after 4 months on order, still no updates.....Thanks for your Ram Truck Family Loyalty .
(custom RAM order #4 and the worst of my experiences to date).

I have window sticker question...I have never ordered a vehicle until now. Dad ordered a SRT Challenger last year and he just got his window sticker framed and hung up in the garage. His window sticker has "Built for,"my Dads first and last name" printed right on it! Is my truck window sticker gonna have my name on it!? Man I hope you say yes LOL. If not, oh well she's a truck. And FYI it took a few months for him to get his car. He bought his Ram off the lot 3 years ago.

My HO DRW CC BH level B was built 11/8. Now it's either sitting on a train or in storage lot somewhere with the rest of ours.

I may have missed it. Has anyone used affiliate pricing on any 22 rams. I was told by email from affiliate that it was available on 22 2500,s. My dealership is 400 over invoice now and said they would be glad to honor it if it’s available.

3C6TR5EJ5NG176263 finally went to E status yesterday afternoon, we'll see if it gets stuck for spray in bed liner. Hoping for around Nov 27, but we will see.

Well... my truck has been sitting at the Rail yard in Winston Salem for a week now. Dealer says they are waiting to fill a hauler with HD trucks before the truck will leave the rail yard... WTF... delivery date has been moved a full week already. This is getting beyond comical.

Well mine has been in Baltimore waiting on a truck since 10/19 inspected waiting on the truck. 85 miles to dealer and he has 5 trucks there to get out.

They are starting to crank these out faster than Denny's breakfast after the bars close!

Do all Laramie trucks come with factory fender flares? Wanna order some gatorbacks so they are here when the truck arrives but being this is my first Ram figured I better ask....
