cross another one off the list as delivered.
Got my 4x4 Laramie gas yesterday.
Ordered June 8. Waiting with you all certainly made the wait easier and took me off my island.
Can't wait to see you all in the more exciting forums/topics around here :)

Check out this Olive Green beauty!

Kinda wishing I had gotten the Olive Green now. Handsome truck!
 
Alright, who in the CA, AZ area is expecting a truck to be delivered to mark dodge in the next few weeks. Mine left Mexico on the train on the 12th, Sandi is expecting it to be dealer ready for me the first week of December. I know we had talked about group shipping previously and was going to look into it again as we are closer now. Maybe just have MD see if they can get a deal on transportation if they have multiple going to the same place. Original idea was the Phoenix area. That’s a much easier fly and drive for me vs lake Charles and it seemed we had a handful of people that worked for. But are we going to have enough that are ready in the next 2-3 weeks is the question. If you fall into that category send me a message.
 
Come On Truck ....... July 16 Order and they are still looking in the baskets out back trying to locate the parts WTH....:rolleyes: Keep those pics coming of the new arrivals, so excited for all of you and your new rides. If anyone get's a Laramie with tan interior, would love to see the inside pics ;)

I have a friend who works for the railroad. I gave him my information and he tracks it and updates me on the progress when he’s able. I guess the train records it’s location along the way each time it passes a waypoint. Pretty cool to map its journey across the country. My truck’s seeing more of this country than I probably ever will!

@mbarber84 When I ordered my current ride, there was a gentleman that was part of another Ram forum that must have had an inside at the railroad that serviced FCA and did this tracking. My salesman was really tickled when I was able to do his job for him and let him know when my truck was at it's final rail destination. And....it was fun to watch the train's progress from Saltillo to Chicago and eventually to Inver Grove Heights (St. Paul). I ordered that truck April 29 and took delivery June 3....in Minnesota..... just 5 years ago....and my local dealer wanted to work with me (not MSRP+). The good ole days.

I figure it’s a really cool part of the story of my truck. This is my second sold-order ram in the last 5 years. Being this one is far more expensive than my previous one I plan to keep it for a long time. I’m lucky enough to have access to the information and it’s helping to keep my anticipation at bay (I think). I’m hoping it makes it to Lordstown and then to my dealer before the end of the month. 120+ days without a vehicle is starting to have its effects. I’m hoping my dealer will be decent to deal with regarding the price increases as well as the incentives available. Time will tell!

How long did it take yours from unloading at the Port? Then trucked to the lot? Good luck and great looking truck.

Thank you! Was in port 11/11. Had to twist someone arm at MD a bit otherwise it likely would have arrived early next week. So 9-10 days I guess
 
Anyone have thoughts, on what time of month. Ram releases the new incentives ? Always heard never anything the first week of each Month. So wondering if I might be better off. Holding out until the Second week of Dec. To go pick mine up? That is also even if its made it there by then. Feel Thanksgiving is going to make everyone's delivery 5 to 7 days longer.

Yes me as well, RAM marketing indicated during Sept 21 that Olive is a color for 2022, not sure why colors move off and on but this would have been my first choice as well.

Ahh. “Expedited” delivery. Will mentally plan for 2nd or 3rd weekend in December pickup.

I have nothing to base this on whatsoever other than current economic conditions, but I’d be very surprised if we saw ANY incentives any time soon.

Congrats! I think the 2022’s are going to be the pinnacle, certainly this 4.5 gen will be. I think the gen 5 will have perhaps a bit more room etc but the powertrains will not be the same. The diesel as we know it is short lived.
