Got my Window Sticker today, and the Wired Tow-Mode Camera is showing. Interesting to see how it arrives. I would think if its on the window sticker its installed in the truck.

Well, 139 days after order confirmation, I’ve made it to D1. Unfortunately that’s on the first order which was a Laramie that I told the dealer I didn’t want after they removed the level two equipment group. The second ordering attempt remains in C status, but it’s only been 39 days since I placed it.
So if each status progression takes 139 days (I know it doesn’t, or shouldn’t) I should receive the truck sometime in mid August 2024.

Yours is the 2nd sticker I've seen with the tow mode camera option. How'd you manage that one? I tried, but like most others on here it eventually got removed.
If you decide you don't want it, I'll buy it from you...
No idea lol. The dealer called me in Dec and said it was being removed. I had accepted it wasn’t going to come with the truck, but will be pleasantly surprised if it does.

Saw on the order tracking I moved to D1 today. Sure enough. It's a start.
My longhorn has been in production on the tracker since 1/28. No progress since then. Starting to get nervous they are missing some parts and it’s just sitting somewhere on a lot waiting for parts……..
Did notice all of a sudden the tracker image shows falken wildtrak tires. Does anyone know if they finally got rid of the trash firestones on the off road package? That would be awesome not having to put tires on it immediately first winter.

no they did not (I already have my truck) at least for a big horn 2500 srw with off road package.

I don't think so. My picture has been showing the same, but the build sheet shows Firecrap tires.
Well that’s a bummer. I was excited. Hate having to put $1200 in new tires on a brand new $90k truck so it’s drivable in the winter….
I did the same thing in December. Ordered an F250 and a 2500. See which is better when they arrive and who will give more on trade. Crazy to me that the F250 Platinum I ordered is 6k less sticker than the 2500 Longhorn I ordered.
Agree, I would have never ordered a Ram at MSRP. The Limited 3500 HO I have on order is $8k more than MSRP on a King Ranch F350 HO.
I feel your pain. I went out and bought a bare bones 2022 Big Horn 3500 because my truck wasn’t getting built 1/23/23. Get home from buying that truck and my truck went to D1 and is now built 2/6. Hope I don’t take a total bath trading the BH in for the limited in a month or two when it’s delivered.

Gorgeous, badass truck! Glad you were able to make it work! How do you like the instrument cluster so far?

For whatever reason, HDRams forum would not load for me yesterday so I had to do some catching up on this thread. Feels like I've missed an AA meeting.
I've been an independent dealer for almost 10 years so maybe I can shed some light on interest rates. Right now, because of the Fed hiking interest rates for the last year; high prime credit (720+ Eq) on a new-late model vehicle (with 3 years) means you will fall between 6-7% if you want 72+ months. If you go with a shorter term you might be able to find a credit union that will do around 5% at 36-60 months - but then you're obviously looking at a pretty big payment. I have seen that Chrysler Capital is offering 0% on 2022 Ram 1500 Big Horns, but nothing else regarding financing on 2023s or more specifically HDs. Mostly just local dealers offering lease deals.
None of us, in the used car or new car business like the rates being high. Just a year ago 0-3% was the norm for prime credit new-late model rates. The only way a dealer can bump the interest rate, as in buy the rate from the bank at a lower rate and sell it to you at a higher rate is if it is through a big national bank like Truist, Wells Fargo, BoA, Chase, etc. (Bumping the rate can also sometimes be done with mid-subprime banks but I'm referring to prime credit here). Whatever rate a credit union offers a dealer is exactly what the customer gets, its in the credit unions contract that the dealer cannot bump the rate or else the dealer will not get funded. As others have mentioned, credit unions typically are your best bet for financing a new truck right now.
All that being said, unfortunately the rates are what they are. Your best bet is either to try to pay off the loan faster to try to beat the interest or just simply refinance when rates go down. Rates will have to go down eventually but no one knows when that will be. You've got a better chance of accurately guessing the date your truck enters production on the day you ordered it than you do guessing when the Fed will tangibly reduce rates.
So if the dealer tells you your rate is at 6.5% with a credit union approval, don't think they're trying to bend you over without even buying you a drink first - it's not them, it's the Fed.

Assuming it comes with the truck, be sure to report over in the towing forum if it's the new supposed 2023 version with a repeater - I'm curious to know..

I ran into a similar problem looking used for Flame Red or Olive Green; very hard to find in my area with the options I wanted or without a lot of miles. A lot of Level 1s around but Level 3 2022-down are hard to find. I wasn't looking for Hydro blue but I did notice it wasn't a very common color unfortunately.

Congratulations jsalbre
So far I like it. I haven't done any tweaking to the settings yet (we drove straight from the dealer to the mountain to shoot those photos), but I love the large map view.
