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

I just ordered my truck. Dealer told me that they will honor the pricing, and I have this in writing. The finance guy also told me that he will look for any available discounts/rebates at time time of delivery and apply those.
Super excited to move up from a 2014 Tradesman 1500 Ecodiesel to a 2022 Laramie 2500 Hemi

Thanks for the reply. I intend to get it in writing. As of now I am dealing with well known volume dealers but I've never ordered a vehicle before. I am getting quotes with great pricing that you mentioned. All quotes I've received have that clause at the bottom that reads " this is not an invoice..... Orders are accepted when vehicle is shipped by the factory" . If I can't get something in writing saying they will honor quotes prices, I'm out. I was just wondering if others are actually locking in their quotes prices.

Standard text at bottom of POC - Later POC showed $1200 increase. Dealer honored original quote based on original (lower) POC sheet and never mentioned increase. Others have reported Dealers increasing price, but mostly honoring original quote. Talk to dealer, get it in writing, ask about Price Protection, or go to a different dealer. Ask here for someone in your area who has dealt with this issue at your dealer / his dealer and how it worked. Prices have gone up since September so lots of buyers have experience in this area.

I just got off the phone with the salesman and was told all of that as well. You got that all in writing?

I am dealing with Mark dodge and that is why I was asking here, to see what standard practice is. Heard nothing but good things but experience has taught me that there is always a catch.

I have the agreed pricing in writing, signed by the manager and myself, but not the offer to apply any additional available rebates that might be on hand in a few months….

A lot of us purchased through Mark Dodge. The text you see at the bottom is what all of the dealers use at the bottom. Mine had it too. MD didn’t even bring up any price increases. I just filled out all the contract and had the zoom call several days ago. Order went in on October 16. We all know there have been several price increases yet as I said 5hey weren’t even mentioned they just honored their quote.
You’ll be happy.

For those of you still waiting, like me, here is a video about Saltillo plant. A few years old (still calling it Daimler) but still interesting and a good way to kill 7 minutes of your wait.

Thanks for the video. Interesting and brings back a lot of memories for me. Didn't build Daimler plants, just GM, Ford & Toyota in the auto industries.
 
Finally got to pick her up last night! 8/18 Order Date, sat in rail yard since before Christmas and finally arrived yesterday morning.
2500 Laramie Night Edition 4x4 MC-Laramie Lvl B, Auto Level, Safety Group B, Towing Tech B, 5th Wheel Prep, 12" Nav, Power Deploy Running Boards. Even has the rare but highly desirable power folding mirrors! Not too much different from my 2020 that was just traded other than the digital rearview, auto level and the color but happy with it so far. Oh and upgraded aftermarket tires/wheels which I never did on my last truck and is well worth the cost IMO.
Sorry for the crappy picture but it has either been dark or raining here since I got it (as the usual for anyone picking up a new vehicle).
Hope you all are blessed with your new rides soon and that they are everything you expected them to be!!!

Also, since it comes up so frequently, local dealer did keep original quoted price even though it had increased since ordered and said that since order had a name on it they would receive the price protection. I was also able to use the $500 Truecar rebate without being a PenFed customer and no questions were asked about that. Rate was 2.89 for 84 months through dealership although they started out close to 5% and had to call the bank to get lower rate after I showed them what was offered by my credit union.
 
Anyone know what KZLD status is? I searched the other thread and saw KZL and some other KZ-D, but not KZLD.

For those of you ordering trucks, are you able to lock in your pricing at the time of order? All of my build quotes are saying that pricing is subject to change and I'm being given a 25-30 week tentative window of delivery. At what point is the pricing not subject to change. I'm not comfortable putting up a 1000 dollar non refundable deposit and not knowing what my final price will end up.

I had two pieces of paper, first one was the build sheet with price signed by myself and the sales manager, it had a spot where it said price could change. Second sheet was the payment sheet and showed my deposit, all taxes and fees, and total cost out the door. This one had nothing saying price could increase and even thought my MSRP came in higher my price stayed at the agreed upon price with no questions.
 
I just picked my truck up Saturday and it came with a really thick manual.

I am so expletive here pissed! Stellantis doesn’t think we should get a manual with a vehicle that MSRP is 94k! They want you to use an app! I don’t like having a ton of apps. And for their key connect I think it’s subscription based!
With an app they get your email and the right to sell your info to 3rd parties! I read the terms and conditions. I haven’t found the way to deselect all the crap they want to send but so far as I can tell I want none of it but I do want my manual. I don’t want to read it on my phones 2.5”x5” screen either! What BS company does that for 94k! My 2019 BMW has an app and it’s free and awesome when it works. Of course it fails every now and then but only when you need it. What do you think the ram app is going to do! ****oles! Also I’m all the time in places where you can’t get cell reception. At least with the BMW app I don’t get any emails or notifications that there something they want to sell me.
I am soooooo pissed. Expletive Ram and Stellantis!

Thought I’d reach out to Ramchat to see what they had to say. This just keeps adding to the terrible info they put out. Never trust them

I actually believe that it’s a chat bot with a AI built in that responds based on the information inputted. I did the regular customer service chat and not the new vehicle purchase chat once and I offended the CR rep when I basically asked if they were a real person. A lot of the new vehicle chat help is basically the same text each week I chat them. I compared previous chats and it was either they are good at cut and paste or it’s a chat bot.
