Cant believe they're removing blind spot monitoring! This is on my Monroney sheet, I just checked. Blind–Spot with Tag Trailer & Cross–Path Detection

Hope that means my build does have it!
 
This is like anything else I call subcontracted out. I had a favorite style of jeans sold at Walmart cheap, fit good,long lasting, owned four or five pair. I went to go buy a few new pair and found out they did not carry them anymore especially in my size I did some research the factory in China burned to the ground and some people died, hence no more of those style jeans. They didn’t own the style.

I have had no luck with my sales guy regarding updates, he keeps telling me the truck doesn't have a VIN or VON yet, only that it's in the middle of "allocation". I doubt he'll have any information on this but I will make sure that he knows I'm not buying it without it, or they will commit to installing it (at no charge) once the parts are available.

What I would do is have him print the original order sheet and see if its listed as an option. I think it was 7 weeks when I got my Order sheet and 8 weeks for monroney. I will check to make sure my truck comes equipped when I pickup in March. I understand Covid and other issues are to blame, understandable we're in a pandemic. However, this is a great time for companies to show some empathy to customers and put themselves in our shoes and just release a statement etc. OR if you're not able to have the blind spot monitoring, at least make it an option that the dealer can install when parts become available at no cost to the consumer.

Like I have said in other posts, go to your dealer and ask them for the P.O.C. (priced order confirmation). It will have all of the current info such as the vin, von and current build status among other pertinent info regarding your vehicle. The sales manager knows what it is.
 
You were right on. Just got my VIN this morning.
Good to hear. Now just ask your dealer for a copy of the Priced Order Confirmation (POC) . This should get you the estimated ship date and the current status which is likely D1 right now. I got my window sticker on 09 Feb and my estimated ship date was 07 Feb. So you can expect to see your window sticker a couple days before or after your estimated ship date.

I do have the POC when I ordered and the estimated ship date is blank. Would that be filled in once issued a VIN?

Ordered this “Black Beauty” on 1/19. Had my VON/VIN in 3 days. Sent a message to Ram Cares, inquiring about the build. They tell me it’s in the “Q”. I’m with most other folks, if this build comes in without all the “lickey - chewies”, i.e. lane assist, etc. and there are no means in which to add it, as the chips become available, then I may be truck-less. Hate to do that, but, I ordered it, 4EBB8C80-7384-41D2-999B-807D9765C1AF.jpegthe way I wanted it.
 
Ordered Pearl white with lower two-tone 3500 Laramie SRW (8' box) with all options other than sunroof on 2/5, received VIN on 2/8. Let the wait begin. If you look back at some of these posts that were order mid-last year, there are several who waited 16-20+ weeks. Me, I'm in no huge hurry now, as I have a backup vehicle, but when/if it gets to week 10, I'll start to get a little anxious!!
 
I said same thing when I placed the order and at 5 weeks with it still in D1 I'm chomping at the bit. Getting RV on order maybe this week so if that comes in before truck I'll be really anxious!

What RV are you buying? Me... 2021 Grand Design, Reflection 367BHS 5th Wheel
 
@Taylormade1 - Nice rig. GD's are great! We've been looking for a few months and finally narrowed it down to the GD 395ms. Really like the couch layout with dinette but they changed the shower (made it smaller) and you need to flip the one couch end on the other when closing slides which seems crazy. Also, I'd like to have access to the frig with slides in, but its difficult to get both (bathroom and frig).
 
Dealer called me tonight and said my order has moved forward from D1 status but still no build date, but does have a VIN. He said it doesn't look like there is any issues with any options, Dealer also said that build can't make any changes without contacting dealership. That made me feel a little better anyway.

In the 367BHS, I'm able to get to both bathroom and at least one side of the fridge. We have it currently parked at WillowTree RV Resort in Longs, SC. through end of April. With working remote, I spend as much time here, if not more, than I do at home. We bought the GD in November and love it! Had been looking at them for about two years before getting rid of the tagalong and taking the 5th wheel plunge.
 
I'm an unfortunate senior around here. 20 weeks tomorrow since I placed my order but it wont be long now. Anyone getting a ceramic coat?
Wow!! Feel bad for you. If I get to 10-12 weeks, I'm sure I'll be getting antsy!! I can only imagine 20 weeks. I sold my dually last week, figuring I would just squirrel away the saved payment and insurance savings to apply to down payment, as Lord knows if any incentives will be available by time of delivery. So, I figured every month just adds to the DP, but 20 weeks... OUCH!!

That is weird. I believe D2 is next step after D1 which is where they do the programming and schedule a build date. Do you have a estimated ship date? Neither my dealer or Ram chat would give me one until I asked dealer for POC which had the est ship date. I think they don't like to give those out as they are probably given when order is placed using avg build/ship times, but since mine should ship on 2/24 and I'm still at D1 I highly doubt it.

I asked the salesman for any updates and a POC via a text message, and that's when he called and told me it moved forward, had a VIN but no build date. He did not give me the POC though. I guess I need to push him harder on that.

It should be, I had one when I first order my truck that the dealer had me review but didn't have the VIN and then the dealer sent me a new one once he had the VIN on it and it had the updated info.
