I have had pretty poor communication from MD and its pretty disappointing esp since others have such great communication. Im always asking vs being told- i usually bug ram chat and then ask renee for the update then it takes a couple days for any response. Ive asked why trucked built after mine have been delivered and mine is till not there and crickets. Pretty frustrating.

I've had no communication from my sales person at MD but I suspect it is because he has nothing to report, truck is still D. I contact him once per month and hit ram chat weekly. It is frustrating for sure but I don't think the blame should go to the sales person or the dealer. The silver lining is that I may get to order a 23 if this goes on much longer.

I’ve had the same experience, but I understand she and the rest of the staff are probably dealing with a lot on a daily basis—answering questions, running quotes (I alone requested 6 different quotes), placing orders, and such.

Our tickets will get punched. There’s really nothing the sales staff can tell you that we can’t find out for ourselves.

Morning team looking for some help. I'm planning on taking the 2500 from MD and driving it back to San Diego. I want to plan out the trip and was curious if anyone has a good website or app to plan the trip to include stops fill ups and that sort of thing. Otherwise i'm going to wing it as usual with the waze app. It is going to be a long drive.

No App! But my experience after making that trip back and forth for more than 15 years, don't leave San Antonio with less than a full tank of fuel when headed west and always fill up at 1/2 tank as you continue to travel west.

We didn't have cell phones, map quest, computers, and self driving automobiles.

I believe todays technologies tells you what to do pretty much every mile along the route.

This! Almost ran out of gas short of Iraan because I failed to realize it takes 90% of your trip time just to get through TX its so damn big.

Well we finally made it to Lake Charles to pick our truck up. They wound up holding it for us for about 3 weeks. Then we get home and had/having severe storms so it didn't get cleaned up until today.

Everyone at Mark Dodge was great! Truck wasn't clean but I understand with all the pollen this time of year.

Anyways..happy with it. Little rougher ride than our F150 but we knew that going in.

Meet "Gram"..get it..a grey RAM.
May just call him "Big G"

Not a lot of frills but didn't want them or the price tag. Just a 2500 Hemi, BH, 4x4. Still have to get windows tinted and want to add the wheel well liners and maybe seat covers. Already added after market steps and a tonneau cover. Now to find my 5th wheel.

Thanks to everyone who helped out on this thread. So very helpful. Good luck to all and safe travels.

Ordered 1/19/22
At dealership 4/8/22

I’m from East Texas, like 1 hr from Shreveport where there are no interstates. When I was stationed in San Diego it would take me 12 hrs to get to El Paso, another 12 hrs to get to Dallas, then a final 3 hours cutting through all the small towns just to get home.

The state is larger than France!

Oh now, don't forget to mention y'all have the booming metropolis of Tyler and Kilgore out there!

But for real, it's a beautiful area as long as you like the color brown and tan.

Kody at MD took care of getting the shipper lined up. Truck left MD today and will be at my door on Thursday. I will pay $1,000 for the shipping. The truck has survived rail yards, and truck shipping already so I'm not too concerned about one more truck ride. Plus, I can watch it (location) the entire time on the RAM app that you get.

Seems like they got you on a truck pretty quickly. And like you said, what’s one more truck ride?!
I’m guessing it’ll cost me about double that but the flight there and everything else would easily be over a grand. I like the idea of the app tracking too!
Please fill us in tomorrow with pics. Good luck!

Haha, just did my daily check in with RAMChat.. Is this their way of telling me to stop bugging them for my status!

>>
Good news, your truck is in the shipping stage! Your Ram sales person will call you when it reaches the dealer.

It sure sounds like it! At least they didn't tell you their ETA system was down for maintenance.

I think there will be a White/Night Edition Laramie 2500HD Gas available in Central Wisconsin. Still isn't built, but I purchased a 2019 Chevy 2500 Diesel yesterday. Couldn't pass up the deal. I will see what they give me for it on trade for the Ram, but it is a 73k truck vs. a 40k truck, so I might lean toward keeping it until the economy straightens out. Needed a truck for 3 different trips pulling the camper in May, The 1/2 ton couldn't cut it. But by buying a little cheaper truck, I was able to keep my 1/2 ton GMC SLT for the wife, Happy wife, Happy life. First time filling it didnt make me happy, $140 later. :rolleyes:

I want to say mine and [mention]P.A. [/mention] trucks left Saltillo around 3/23 and made it to Port Allen on 4/1. My truck was completed on 3/4 and put into JS on 3/5 along with [mention]matemike [/mention]. For some reason, my truck was released KZ on the 23rd while Mike’s got stuck in purgatory.

Now there has been a huge delay in shipping since mine got its ticket, but if your on a car that’s moving to Port Allen, you should bet on a week. As for sitting at the rail yard, I just played it patiently for about a week, reached out to Aaron and told him I was running short on time. MD is very military friendly, Aaron made a couple phone calls, and my truck showed up about a week later. I’ve said before that could be coincidental, but it worked out.

From Saltillo to delivery at MD was 3/23 - 4/12, about three weeks.

Well this is good to hear. I’m Merchant Marine and a first responder. I’m going to call at the end of this week and check again. It will be the 20 week mark for me at that point. If truck is still not moved, it might be time to start requesting some these “phone calls” to be made.
