3300 or so mile trip home and Fancy did great. Lag is there with defueling shifting into second gear. Once she hits 3rd gear the HO pulls really hard. Overall very pleased with the truck and overall experience with MD. The truck did not come with a front license plate bracket as Louisiana does not require one but Washington state does. Aaron said they will get one sent up to me. So hopefully that comes soon. If not we will order one.

It must've hit each phase at the right time. Like those that just pick up rank at an unheard-of rate. I hope he hits a casino on the way home.

Yes!! Did it suck waiting yes I was angry many times coming on the forum seeing guys getting trucks in 3-5 months with similar order. Then I was going to walk away n go elsewhere then it got delivered to dealer I go look at it take it for a drive not even out of transport mode yet they haven’t even touched it yet at that time ,drive it into the shop they take it out transport mode go do 20 mile test drive see the window sticker with my name on it made the wait seam to fade away. Now they did make a mistake and level one got kicked out when they added tow technology and also added both cameras kits so $2700 worth of mistakes but I never wanted all the safety stuff I have it in my semi and I hate it but I wanted the 17 speaker system but the alpine sounds just fine. I made one offer to them for what I’d give because of mistakes and they excepted I came out about 4% below invoice instead of 1% also got a $350 stainless receiver hitch thrown in. And picked it up from dealer 24 hours after it came off the transport truck. I now have 160 miles on it towing 50 miles of that and the HO is definitely worth it I had SO before did fine but the HO is noticeable power is a big step up and can’t wait to tow my Montana this coming weekend!! So to any one waiting 3-4 months and loosing their $hit calm down try 31 weeks and not one change for 27 weeks from order then went fast ,sorry I don’t feel for anyone waiting 3 months and driving truck already. but the guys pushing 6-9 months as I did keep waiting it’s worth it the feeling of finally getting it is great and it all fails away very fast!!!!

I will say that a DRW has me paying more attention while getting down the road. Those first few hours on 10E were spent wondering if I was giving Semi's enough space when passing. I didn't have the comfort level I used to in an MTVR knowing it was large and solid, but a few adjustments to the mirrors and the lane assist really helped out.

Agree! I waited 7 months myself but as I said in a previous post this truck highly exceeded my expectations and I love it, love it, love it! The long wait is a distant memory.
 
This is what I got from RAM CHAT this morning. Anyone else receive anything like it...? VIN: 3C63RRHL4NG240698

I'm almost at 60 days from built and still no idea where in the shipping stage my order is in. I was lucky enough to have a quick order to built timeline - 5 weeks, but the shipping stage is awful.

Where are getting shipped to that's taking so long? Just curious.

Has it left the factory yet?

Yes, last update I received was it was staged at Port Altamira waiting on a ship going to RI. There is a ship that left Mexico on Saturday night heading directly to RI but I can't get confirmation my order made it on. Next ship isn't due into Mexico until May 15-16, so I'm crossing my fingers it's on this boat now.

I emailed Sandi about going on underway and needing the truck. It was delivered 2 days later.


NFCU told me once signed there with the promisary note that it was good indefinitely. I specifically asked the 30/60 or 90 day limit on it. They said nope payment is due no matter when you cash it.

Maybe it was the time to sign the promissory note. How was the drive back? I had pre planned fuel stops, but Kody filled the tank and it threw off my plans…NOT complaining. 800 miles was intense! Not sure how I used to drive cross country in just a couple of days.

All, I wanted to send an update about my mini-rant of not being contacted since the deposit I placed on my 2022 PW at Mark Dodge. Well I ended up being contacted by the salesperson later last night and the General Sales Manager reached out to me as well. I NOW see why everyone raves about Mark Dodge and it is cool they monitor these chats. I only wanted to update as it is easy for "us" (me) to post a negative experience, but I think it is even more important to make sure we follow up when a company makes an effort to meet a customers concerns. Bad news always travels faster than good news, but I wanted to make sure everyone knew that they not only contacted me, but the GSM reached out as well to make sure all was good.
