I wonder how long it will take for the dealer to be able to order a different color?

Yep, I’m down to color. Just can’t accept black, white, and grey.

That is why I started ordering! I hate those bland colors. I think they are still playing the game of trying to clear out 2024s. They probably have PWs to sell as well, but none have dual alternators or the right color.

ONLINE BUILDER Is up and running BUT it is not entirely accurate. For example, no you still cannot get air suspension on an SRW 3500, and there are still items that are unavailable to order (powerwagons, gas bighorns/laramies, etc). I would use the website mostly for understanding what is in the equipment packages, and building out the rough idea of your truck. Pricing is actually accurate so far that I’ve seen! https://www.ramtrucks.com/vehicle-selector.bmo.html (Make sure you click 2025)



CODE GUIDES Have been updated to show some more detail, you can see those here: https://sharesync.serverdata.net/us4/s/3KuGcu8kz7upwD4OihvRVW003f24cd



COLORS – Still only Black, White, and Granite available to order so far – but more coming



DETAILS & CONTENT – Setting up a new folder to show a ton of the new powerpoint slides and content about the trucks. I didn’t want to send them in this email, because they’ll get all encrypted. So click here: https://sharesync.serverdata.net/us4/s/3OKXv3Xd2XRcf3CfVLiCtE003f24cd



NERDY DETAILS – There are some GREAT conversations with people who know a LOT more than me, on the forums here www.hdrams.com



TIMING – So far I see BIGHORN has started production, but that’s it for now – no further ETA on start times for upper trims.



DISCOUNT/REBATES – Still 11% discount from MARK DODGE plus a $1K national rebate across the board, and they have now included the military and first responder for $500



VIDEOS



CAUTION!!!! There is a ton of info, and not everything that you see in the videos, powerpoints, website, etc- is actually available yet. If you’re ready to order lets get REAL specific where you have specific questions. Base your decisions ultimately on what is in the code-guide because that’s the only thing we can rely on when it comes to the validity of the order. We can’t say “but I saw a video and though it looked like this way” !



Thank you all for your continued interest and support in making us the #1 RAM DEALER IN THE COUNTRTY for 2024 year (volume of new Ram truck sales)

Any intel on when other colors may be available?

I appreciate the info! Sounds like you’re in the manufacturing end of the game?

Yes - so I get more involved with parts I'm dealing with directly, either by having a new machine built/installed or modifying an existing one. I probably did know some of the other things, but they've left my brain after >3 years of working on this thing. The first document I have was from 2020.
 
PRODUCTION HAS BEGUN! great news I really didn't think we were going to see things start this quickly, but they have! NOW.... READ MY LIPS.... ignore that estimated ship date. Since this is a new powertrain we expect that when the vehicles finish production, and inspection they may (will) then sit in what we affectionately call "purgatory" waiting to ship out. We don't know how long that will be, how many vehicles they will produce before they ship, etc etc. the dates you see on trackers showing estimated delivery, or estimated ship, will be 100% innacurate until we really get rolling. Ignore the date.

You can see that we've got tradesman, bighorn, and laramie in production. I do not see any of our limited or longhorn orders having begun yet.

Do you only see 2500s building so far?
 
Anyone looking for a chassis cab will have to wait a bit longer, I don't think they'll go into production until late or early March, at least for the diesels.
 
Is it correct that all of these 2500s will have coil front suspension and air ride rear ?

Or is it coil in back and air leveling ?

Thanks

Build and Price and product guides all show 2500 rear coils as standard. If you add air, it forces it to a Cummins and 10,190 GVWR (and vice versa). What's unclear is if they've moved away from full air to supplemental or not.

Supplemental would be ideal for me - planning to off road/overland and a blown airbag on the trail is a worry I have. 3500 is supplemental - so you can still limp out if the air stops working.
 
Does the Laramie CC still have the fold up seats with the fold down flat panel?

Yes my new 24 has the foldout floor, one of the reasons I went with Laramie as my 2008 bighorn had that and used it all the time for camping gear

This thread is about the new ‘25 trucks, not ‘24s.

That said, I’d be surprised if it changed.

Nothing surprises me with the endless cost cutting. My '18 3500 and '21 Laramie 1500 had/has as standard cooled seats and the bin storage boxes. They are in an optional package now (are cooled seats still available?). I see they dumped the fender flares on the Laramie, not even an option. It appears the auxiliary switches are now 4 instead of 6 switches.

Who knows what else they've deleted or cheapened out on the '25's?

It's all about shareholders now.
