2023 HD Crowdsourced Order Tracking & Waiting Room

The ship date has consistently meant that is when it “ships” off of the production line. So you’d probably look for the build sheet to be available the next morning.
Which means I probably still have a long wait.
 
Curious, how many of you have requested your dealer to not wash the truck before you pick it up? How are you handling checking for scratches and damage? Are you asking them to just pressure wash it and not scrub it?

I for one. It's one thing getting a vehicle in the summer or in a warmer climate but where I am in Southern Ontario, Canada they use a ridiculous amount of sand mixed with the salt so if the wash kid doesn't get it all off first before wiping it its terrible.

We also know the Sales Manager really well and he knows we are particular about our vehicles.

Don't forget about the ones like me that can't even be added in the spreadsheet because the ramtracker says VIN: TBD

9/11 limited 3500
 
I’m now KZLD. Hope I don’t wait too long for a train.
it's the lottery apparently, but if you read threads, you can see that things seem to go faster than before (2022).
My truck was produced end Jan (30th is when I saw the Monroney) and put on a train a couple days after.
It's 3 stops from its final destination now. A matter of hours (20mph average speed is a good estimator, if you know the details of the journey you can get the train mileage and infer an ETA pretty accurately imho),
so if the dealer gets a truck fast, I could get it in the next days.

(FTR: it's a 2500 Limited, Megacab, Night Edition, Lvl1 Equipement, Off-Road Package etc... almost full options, I just missed the deployable bed step I believe)

Timeline Summary:
Order end Sept
Built end Jan, shipped days after.
est. Delivery Mid Feb (I live in Colorado -> Plant, Taylor TX, Arlington TX, OKL city, KC, Omaha, final dstination is either Cheyenne or Denver Big Lift and then some trucking)

What's the last 8 of your vin?
 
Tell that to mine. Sitting at the off-site vendor.
 
Nice! Contrats. Seems like the power wagons move down the list faster than some others.
I honestly think I just got super lucky. Several other PW orders on this forum went in before me or right around me and still haven't been built or even shipped.

Dealer sent me some pics of the truck, one bad bitch if I do say so myself.

The tracker still shows delivery 2/16…

That looks damn nice!

I will comment that the new hood is tall. It's no issue for me, but my wife complained. On the other hand, driving home last night I noticed that rise in the back gets a tiny bit of orange glow from the roof cab lights and I think it looks kinda cool.
 
I'd be on that dealer hard!

I was. Over 100 emails deep and I have an executive referrals customer service member following up with "logistics" weekly. The dealer basically washed their hands of the issue and was "more then happy" to refund my deposit so they didnt have to deal with it anymore...

The customer service person I have assigned to me said that logistics said there is constraint for all 3500 SRW limited's until 3/1/22 and that is why I have not received a build yet. Seems plausible as I havent found a single 3500 SRW limited online or on the forum yet.
