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

My truck was ordered a month ago today. I've been following this thread for the last 600 pages. At that rate, by the time I HOPE to have mine, we may be well over 1500 pages @ 20 posts per page = 30,000+ postso_O
 
How do I get to Ram Crap? I never tried it but want to see if I went to D1 as I ordered 10/15 and it’s been 6 weeks.
I would like to be able to search this stuff up on my own.
When I do put my Vin in FCA community force or the mopar site it says no records found.
My vin is 3C63R3RL1NG189916

@Shootist Don't get caught up on the build date. Usually your truck is built within 3 weeks of going D1....actually there was an earlier post of an average of 23 days. Mine was right at 20 days (built on 22 Nov) of going D1....and I had no build date or ship date (I still don't have a ship date). Once the build started it was quick and KZed.....now the next step....just waiting on a train to Zone 35 Wahington....then a truck to Central Pennsylvania....hope this helps.

Thanks!
 
Dealer called yesterday (Saturday) morning. My truck was loaded on a car carrier and left the railyard in Buffalo, NY Friday night to start making deliveries in Western NY! I'll have to start driving through the dealer parking lot three times per day vs the once a day I've been checking. This is better than Christmas!!!!
 
While updating my PDI Checklist I remembered to add "Check with dealer to ensure you have all sets of keys". It's been almost 20 years since I purchased a new vehicle. (Yes I tend to take care of them). My question is: With the new Key Fobs, Key Less Entry and Push Button Starting Systems how many Key Fobs come with the New Truck?

2. Don't lose 'em, not like going to Ace hardware for replacements...
 
Initial report 3500 Longhorn Level 1, Standard 18 inch tires, TowTech, TowMode Camera/Digital Mirror, Rambox, Deployable Bed Step

Overall, I really like the truck - it drives well and has significantly better acceleration than my 2015

1. Tire Pressures randomly high - reset to 60 Frt, 70 Back - rides good unloaded (not noticeably worse than 2015 2500)
2. Def tank at 5/8 - will have to fill that
3. Fuel tank full - thanks to Bergeron CDJR
4. 7+12 pin connector right of License Plate - nothing in bed - have to figure where to put connector with Rambox - no big flat space and no MOPAR splitter cable available
5. 2 in trailer hitch adapter in storage behind rear seat along with TTPMS sensors and extra wires (for IP Mounted switches?)
6. NO 4 pin trailer connector, NO 7 pin to 4 pin adapter like came in my 2015 (Cheap and I rescued the one from my 2500 so no big deal)
7. FAKRA Coax TowMode Camera Connector left of License Plate - nothing in bed - have to figure how to deal with gooseneck trailer
8. Deployable Bed Step is barely usable - High Spring Tension and tab on left does not stick out far enough to actuate with foot - the MOPAR step on my 2015 was vastly superior.
9. Digital Rearview Mirror is a pain for me. In theory it is good and for you younger folks without progressive bifocals it should be great, but in digital mode, when I look at it I see double.
10. 12 inch Touchscreen takes some getting used to - way too many bells and whistles for an old guy like me - liked my old 8.4 inch with knobs better.
11. Backup camera seems to be less precise than the one in my previous 2015 2500 Limited - green lines do not match truck - may be able to recalibrate?
12. Power Wide Angle mirrors is nice, but Left wide angle mirror does not seem to adjust out far enough - will have to get used to that if I cant fix.

My biggest bitch is the lack of connectors in the bed for a gooseneck trailer connection and the lack of a dedicated space to install the connectors if you have the Rambox. There is a space in the non-Rambox trucks, and, with TowTech, you get connectors there - EXCEPT for the FAKRA Tow Mode Camera. In my case, I have no connectors in the bed. But even a non-Rambox truck with the 7/12 pin connector in the box wall has no FAKRA connector for the Tow Mode Camera - in my mind that is a MAJOR OVERSIGHT.

I guess my second biggest bitch is the $395 Deployable Bed Step. The one I had on my 2015 was rectangular and much wider left to right and the edges stuck out under the back of bumper for easy foot deployment. Spring tension was lower but more than adequate and it was easy to deploy and retract with foot. The new version is significantly smaller and rounded to nest under bumper with only a small tab sticking out to left close under bumper - too close for my big feet to get a purchase on it to deploy it - must reach down and hand deploy. Yes the old step was cosmetically more noticeable, but it was also much more functional - pardon my pun, but this is a MAJOR STEP BACKWARDS.

The Digital Mirror issue is unfortunate, but I have to admit my eyes are a significant factor. However, if they had just put the Tow Mode Camera and Digital Rear View Mirror in the 12 inch display, or at allow you to switch the display there, it would have been vastly better in my opinion.

All in all minor complaints, but I would have expected better on an $85k truck.IMG_0715.jpgIMG_0692.jpgIMG_0716.jpgIMG_0717.jpgIMG_0719.jpg

Should be two key fobs. Depending on the trim level, I think you can program each fob to a different driver so that the truck remembers the various settings for whoever is assigned that key fob.

For those Members who are requesting a copy of my "Vehicle Check List" please understand this is a checklist for my personal purchase so it may not have all the items you need to check when picking up your new unit. This list is not all inclusive and I'm still working on it as we speak, so If you see something I may need to add please tell me about it. Remember! We as humans all think differently and have different requirements or what may be important to one person may not be important to another.

I would also like a copy of said list! This will be the most expensive purchase I’ve made, and I want to leave no stone unturned! The more heads thinking about this stuff, the better. And OCD? In this case even better!
