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

Did anyone have their truck shipped? If so who did you use? I'm think of having my truck shipped when it comes in. ( Lake Charles La to New York. ) I talked to the dealer but they quoted me about $600 more then some online quotes I got.
 
Ok, called RamChat and the nice lady confirmed the truck is being built as we speak but there isn't a status update on where in the process it is. So one person said built awaiting shipping, another said its still being built and is somewhere in the manufacturing process. Lets see what tomorrows call prompts. Im guessing Ill be back in D status hahaha

Its like a box of Chocolates never know what you will get.
 
05/07 3500 Laramie CC SRW loaded order. My POC finally updated last week after zero movement since order, and shows an estimated ship date of 11/24. Last week, RAMCHAT said parts were all ready and would be entering build date soon. Today, RAMCHAT says still gathering parts. Our insider shows a build date 2 weeks after a ship date (dates back in October btw). Lol. Heading to Mexico tomorrow for 10 days to participate in the Baja 1000. Won’t have cell coverage for a few days, and hoping for a miracle build sheet while I am out of contact. Fingers crossed!
 
It was 24 hours later when I got my build sheet. Then 2 days to get my window Sticker. But like you it would take my Vin in my Mopar Garage.
At least you can get into your garage. Mopar keeps saying there is a problem with username/password/ password reset etc. etc. etc.
 
My window sticker is 2k higher and also missing a item $995 from original POC so almost 3k higher than original POC they are give 3% off Msrp trying to cancel and get my deposit back because of the missing item.
They say it maybe a type-o so they are waiting for truck to show to verify. will see!
What item? Have you checked your Equipment List - it may show item?

If you are buying at MSRP and you can cancel and reorder, there are dealers mentioned on here that are selling way below MSRP.

Lots of orders mention Mark Dodge in Lake Charles, La - lots of good reviews here, said to be the second largest RAM dealer in US by volume. There are 3 or 4 others that will be mentioned in different parts of the country - I believe there was a list of 3 a week or so back - maybe use text search - I did not buy there, but would have if I had been on this list before I ordered as they are only 3 hours from me. Several people planning to fly in to Lake Charles or Lafayette and drive their truck home as much as 1200 miles as I recall.

I don't think he should be doing that...unless his dealership is really, really hurting on sales/income....I think he's price gouging you on the deal. He should be using the original POC that was submitted when you ordered and that's the price you should be paying/locked in for.
Unless you added price protection, nothing stopping a dealer from increasing the cost. I agree it sucks, but should have asked about that when ordering.

I have found with Ram chat....is when they digress on your order...and I call them out on the last Ram chat secession.....they say let me talk with my supervisor or they say I have a better system with more updated information. My question is why aren't they using the better system in the first place...it also is very dependent on who you get....as some are very good at their job and they seem to care...while others are collecting a pay check....at best.

Interested in real world experiences on this as well. Will be checking in with my dealer (mark dodge) when my truck is getting closer to the lot. Sandi said they can coordinate it through them, but curious what kind of prices and delivery times people have actually seen by doing this. I’m in CA btw, so practically cross country from LA.

Missing Trailer Surround View Camera its not on either Equipment list or Window sticker so doesn't seem to be a type-o. Not the end of the world stuff but its my last big towing truck
Yes that's the plan this sit has been very helpful great info. by all wished I would have found before ordering and yes RAM_Dad is correct shame on me for not having PP in writing!

And, even when the dealer adds price protection, it is to protect the DEALER from any invoice price increase from Ram between the time of order and invoice, NOT the customer. A dealer could still pass on the increase to the customer if they decide they want to.

Ordered Tuesday evening. Got the Vin today. Dealer locked in price upon placing a deposit on the truck. Said 8-12 weeks for delivery. Curious to see when I’ll get the truck. Status D as of today

When you get the truck....physically check the rear bumper plug for the 12 pin connector that powers the Trailer Camera....if it has then its an easy fix with the wiring and camera can be purchased as an accessory. It seems that most trucks that don't order this option still have the wiring on the truck side....and the old 4 pin connector is gone with the 12 pin replacing it.

If it was on your original order paperwork and not on truck, you should be able to cancel and reorder - but be aware some of things in packages may have changed and some features may not be available at this time
 
Anyone know the reason why people who ordered after me ( MC limited longhorn ) are getting their trucks built but mine isn't?? Does where you live play a part??
Nobody but Ram knows for sure, but the belief is that it probably has something to do with parts availability for your unique configuration. Could be they're low on something specific to your truck. Maybe it's sunroofs or tire pressure sensors or blind spot chips or rambox lids. Or, maybe it's luck of the draw and the plant scheduling program is plugging in certain trim levels to optimize production. Lots of speculation on what's going on, but nothing definitive that explains why they're not running things "first ordered, first built".

It appears Dealer or Computer sets a Priority when order placed - my POC says "Build Priority 01" at bottom - not sure if this really means anything to scheduler - as pointed out parts availability probably has more effect.
But my Equipment List also says "Sold Vehicle" and just below that "Special Scheduling Condition VII" - not sure what that means either, but my truck was totaled by Hurricane Ida and dealer said they would try to expedite (again whatever that means)
Wondering if some of earlier orders placed long before 2022 production started may have had a lower priority set by dealer or computer knowing they would be lower priority than 2021s still fighting for parts for completion and there would be no movement for 2 to 3 months?
