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

Brv10, you able to get a rail card #?
My truck took about 14 days from Mexico to the rail yard in Portland, from there after 4 days my dealer went and picked it up themselves, but I live only about a half hour from the dealer/train yard. I don't know if your truck will go to Portland then get trucked to Medford or possibly a closer yard, but I would expect to wait about a month for delivery
 
It's depressing to see others get their trucks sooner than you when they ordered months after. I'm just hoping it gets here in time for my yearly Thanksgiving trip to Calico. I sold my truck months ago and don't have a means to tow my trailer and toys. It's been hard having the kids ask to go camping almost weekly after being used to going multiple times a month. I am happy for those that received their trucks quickly, it gives me hope.
 
Well, thanks to the one and only wizard of knowledge himself i received a nice update today. looks like i am about half way done my train ride to the truck yard which is about 2.5 hrs from my dealer. So i would say truck is going to show up much sooner than anticipated, have to get my act together and get this welding bed done up! I would say my timeline has been quite acceptable considering things these days! Again as always big shout out to BV and his patience with all of us. If i was to guestimate (based on past experience from winnipeg yard) should have it likely in next 3 weeks. Which would put me at basically just shy of 5 months or 147 days. We shall see ! it snuck up on me and defiantly am not ready for it need at least 2-2.5 weeks lol.

My journey so far

Ordered 6/6
Vin assigned 7/1
D - 7/18
D1 - 8/18 estimated ship date Aug 31st
KZ - 9/1
KZLD - 9/22
KZM - 10/6
 
My truck got off the train on 8/31 and has sat there ever since because they lost the keys....
I am still waiting for new keys....
I will impatiently wait for new keys.... So I called the transport company today and they would not talk to me because I am not from a dealership.
Called my dealership again and explained that I am running out of patience... They said they will call "the rep" and see if they can do anything.

Meanwhile I wait, everyone says the wait is worth it.
I am in the same boat but more excuses. My order is going on it's 8 month birthday. Nothing to celebrate. I got the stolen keys excuse. I got the hail damage excuse. I got the defective ECM for HO engine excuse. My 3500 Mega drw longhorn was ordered 2/26. Built 6/14. Went from KZLD to KZ status months ago. The latest I heard from Ram Care is that they closed my case because the case manager did not do anything. Closed for inactivity. Just got off the phone with the dealership GM who promised to call "the rep". Agree that I am running out of patience.......

I understand completely. Today is 8 months from my order date of 2/11. Been in JB since 7/27.
 
Ram 3500 SRW Mega 6.7L SO
Osrdered from MD on 5/30.
Built 8/11.
KZ or KZLD since
Original est delivery date of 10/5
On 10/3 delivery was bumped up to 9/28
Then on 9/29 back to TBD. No update on the tracker since then. I’m guessing it was supposed to be on the train and missed its spot for some reason

I spoke with a woman at Ram Care yesterday (2 months from built date) who told me to wait 2 more weeks and try again. She said if it was still awaiting shipment by the end of the month (10-12 weeks post build) then she could elevate the case. She did not give me a case number.

The case elevation thing is Fake News! Talking to RAM care is useless. (Both things my opinion). The good news is; you’ve come to the right place. Everyone is in your same predicament & there is someone with a crystal ball who can help you. Crystal ball - his words not mine! LMAO. I ordered April 13 - Built Aug 2 - just got loaded on a train today. ETA is Nov 7th — so seven month turn around. If it even shows up then. I had same thing, got delivery date, then it moved up, then it went TBD. Post your order & vin number(s) and let the magicians work. And drink some KY Bourbon. That helps too!
 
Have you seen your sticker? Did you get 50 gal tank & Auto Leveling? It was left off my order when my truck was built even though it was requested. Just curious if you got it.
His equipment list shows the 50 gal tank and auto level, so I would assume it's on his truck

Ordering it and actually getting it is two different things. It’s why I asked if he’s seen his sticker. Just wanted to confirm it was built with it. Trying to figure out why mine was left off. Ours were built around the same time.
 
I've read that it goes TBD once it arrives at the dealer.
My 3500 started build 8/17 . Built 9/2. Original eta 10/23 bumped up to 10/16 two weeks ago. Tracker shows not shipped but was told by two customer service reps that it is on a rail car & en route to lordstown. & that the 10/16 date is good
 
What were the other dates? When was it shipped? Was it shipped but still showed TBD? I’m just trying to figure out some kind of eta on mine. Thanks.
Too bad we cant use the u connect gps to track our vehicles

Mine is a gas unit and window sticker shows 50 gal tank, built 8/16
 
Well, dealer said delivery window is 10/30-11/18 which aligns with the estimated delivery date online. Let's see how accurate it is, lol.
Well, ship date changed from 10/4 to 10/5. Hope this isn't the start of delays.

Here is my status and inquiry to my dealer today - for what its worth: With the FED likely to raise interest rates by another .75% in November and watching my trade-in value go down by the week (per NADA and KBB), I reached out to Granger to get any update they could provide on delivery. Currently my "Ship Date" is TBD, however my "Estimated Delivery Date" is November 1st.

Granger's initial response to my inquiry was "Your order is in KZLD status which is "In transit- Delay" so I'd hope your tracking timeline is pretty accurate. Our system is showing ETA to be determined and typically when we are given an ETA- it's pretty accurate."

After requesting any further information they responded "Their anticipation is to have your vehicle here by that date, but due to the intransit delay it may be after that. The reason is there has been a back up at the plant getting vehicles shipped out due to lack of truck drivers and higher cost of fuel. Please keep checking back for updates."

They also sent the screenshot below. Basically my truck is still in Mexico. Along with the post earlier that there still could be a rail strike, this is not good. By the time my truck is delivered, between interest rates going up and my trade-in value going down, am hoping I can still afford it :(
