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

Interesting! Is there a way to see if your dealer is in good standing? Obviously your salesman wouldn’t tell you that, and I would doubt that RamChat would.
If they are still receiving inventory thats probably an answer. And since a lot of complaints include dealer has received later VINs i think that is not an explanation for the trucks lost in space
 
My price protection is the threat of giving them a bad review on their Chrysler review, Google and DealerRater
I found that Dealer Rater site right before I ordered. Sooooo happy I did! I couldn’t get Dennis Dillons folks to give me straight answers and they’re supposed to be a dealer that does 5% under. It’s closer to me too. It’s in Idaho. Dealer Rater confirmed at least in my eyes that they often do the price increases especially to folks from out of state. I am so happy I found Mark Dodge! Wish the rest of the dealers would take a page from their book.
You would think they would all care about bad reviews. Not sure if that’s the case. I know if you’re a BMW dealer you better not get any bad reviews!

SOOOO! Congratulations to me!
I still don’t know when I’ll get a rail assignment for my truck that I’m jonsing for. BUT! I got my bumpers for it delivered today! That was a 3 month wait. Also got my tires and should have the wheels in a week. Hopefully I get the winch and all the rest of the crap I ordered in the next few weeks.
Super stoked. I just need the truck to go with the accessories. Come on Ram! Deliver me a truck!
 
This came up just a few days ago. My understanding is that the dealer has to apply for it and it is not the easiest process, but any dealer can apply for price protection. I have seen at least one post where a member here said their dealer said they would "fight" for price protection, which seems like dramatics by the dealer to me, but I do understand it may not be easy to do.
Thank you.

Like you I have a few items awaiting my truck, but I'm not ready to invest in higher priced items to sit in my garage hoping to get my truck delivered. I have my eyes on a 2K Tonneau Cover, another 2K on tires and wheels and about 1K in additional accessories, but I'll wait until the truck is in my hands before I spring for the additional purchases.

I looked at my dealer’s web site. 0 HD trucks in stock. Quite a few “in transit” and my salesman told me that he is waiting on 6 trucks to be shipped. Might be that they aren’t receiving inventory…. Food for thought!

Where did you get your truck?

I feel the same way, just can't pull the trigger on stuff until it's in my driveway. Besides then I can go through more months of misery waiting for accessories! :rolleyes:
 
Mine was loaded on a train on 12/16 and I believe was offloaded at Port Allen yesterday, 12/27, according to the rail car tracking. Now the up to 3 week wait for it to be transported to Mark Dodge.
Anyone know rhyme or reason on shipping? I was built and ready to ship 12/13, but wasn't loaded on the train to Port Allen....still sitting as of today. This June 14 order is killing me!
 
I got my power wagon from mark dodge today. Nice trip from houston and back. They swapped my wheels and tires onto the new one. Uconnect 5 is very nice as are the ram boxes. Very pleased.

Shipping from the yard took 6 days

The six days is what I’ve been hearing as well, lets hope that trend continues… Congrats!
 
Yep! I have a POC with a VIN. The only problem is the dealer "Sales Manager" used his personal home address instead of mine on the POC even though my name is on the POC. So technically my name should be on the Window Sticker. Probably nothing to worry about, but I've been around many a shady dealer in my 66 years...... He input all the information while I was at the dealership. but couldn't get the order to go through. Stated he needed to contact his Rep to verify and get the order to go through. He received a return call from his Rep while I was out having lunch with my family and his Rep helped him get the order through his system so he completed it before I could return to the dealership and provide him an address. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about, but given today's society......... Well, I'll just leave it there because I'm a Christian........
He used his personal HOME address???

I couldn’t resist. Road Armor Stealth bumpers go for 4600 and they had 45% off! So I had to cave. Tires are going up 30% after the first I heard so just incase I did it again and tires need wheels. I needed a larger winch so I got a Sherpa winch it was $1200. Then of course I had to have my favorite tie down system and I do construction soooooo.
Anyhow I’m a lost cause. You only live once so when I do it I really do it.
 
LOL Crap! You missed all the excitement....... before you can take delivery you "Must" start reading at page #1 and that's an order! How dare you come on this Forum and first post stating your truck is at the dealer awaiting you. You haven't went through all the heartaches the rest of us has, especially those who ordered back in May time frame who are STILL awaiting their truck to be built.....
Dang, that was a virgin break-in I was not prepared for. I think I did that once myself one day……
 
He used his personal HOME address???
I assume its his home address, because it isn't the dealership address. If I recall he did mention he just used his address to get the order through.

You Capitalized HOME! with a question mark. That tells me somethings not right with this order as presented by the dealership. Can he sell this truck from under me? Feel free to hit me up on messages if you can't post here. Thanks brv10!

Be patient my friends, these things are worth all the wait. I wish everyone a happy new year. Hope everyone gets their trucks soon and those trucks run problem free for y’all. As for these 2, they already have 2k miles on them, picked up on the 23rd. 2 HO MegaCabs.
