2021 Ram HD Builds and orders - Post and discuss your order here!

My truck made it to Tyler, TX on the train!

So, while I was looking for a picture online of what my truck will look like to show a friend, I came across this listing at Planet CJDR in Flagstaff. I pulled up the build sheet for my truck and this one and compared them in an Excel spreadsheet. The ONLY difference between the two trucks is that I ordered mine in monotone, this has two-tone. I thought it was interesting, especially since I didn't want the sunroof.

Build status of G today. Truck finally built. Ordered 02-09-21. VIN: 02-15-21. D1 status until today.
3500 CCLB SRW, 4x4, H.O., Tradesman.
 
For those folks in Canada, what did you order, when did you order, do you know your current status and any current intel on shipping estimate?

I ordered a 2500 Bighorn CC, 6.4L, 4.10, Level B Equipment Group, Premium Lighting Group, Spray-In Bedliner, 5th Prep Group, Offroad Group. Order date 2/26, currently in "D" status and waiting to move to D1. So, no shipping estimate yet.

My current expectation is around 4-5 months for a Canadian order so maybe I will get the truck by the end of the summer. It is what it is. I'm wondering whether the fact I switched to "Level B" (not L2 with the BSM) might speed it up a little as the switch in equipment groups seems to have caused some delays with some orders (or at least that's my opinion on the situation!)
 
Ordered 3/31/21 White 3500 Laramie Mega Cab Cummins SO, Laramie Level A, Towing Technology B, Safety Group B, Night Edition, Blind spot cross path, and Auxiliary Switches.
 
Sigh. 2/2 order. No movement since.
Have you contacted your dealer or got a VIN? I have heard 0 from my dealer but did get email from FCA a few week ago with VIN. Using links from this forum I got a build sheet a few days ago. Today window sticker showed up. I've tried to be really patient and consciously not wanted to bug my dealer. Now I feel it is closer so am more anxious. Not impressed that the dealer hasn't given any updates but glad to get info from forum.
 
Getting excited!
Ordered 2/22
Build sheet 3/29
Window sticker today 4/1

2021, Big Horn 3500 Maximum Steel, 68RFE, DRW, Towing Tech Group "B", Level "B" Equipment, 5th Wheel prep, Bed utility, 4.10, Aux switches, block heater, on/off road tires, protection group.

After I got the info from Ram Chat that it was shipped, I contacted my salesman and told him that I was going to pester him a couple of times a week, so be prepared. Over the past few days, he has been checking on my build daily and sending me what updates he sees.

How did you go about getting your VIN direct from FCA? I have asked my dealer for the VIN but they haven't sent it, and sure would be nice to have it so I can track my truck myself. Did you just contact Ram chat and provide your information to them?

This is what I am talking about, why do Canadian orders take so much longer than US orders?
4 post above yours (similar builds), the truck was ordered 4 months after yours and he is in the
same status as you are. I am seriously thinking about cancelling my order because I do not want
to wait 6 months for a truck.

Based on your order date, I would suggest that your truck will be built in the next 1-2 weeks. To put into perspective, I ordered 2/4 and my truck was completed last week and loaded on a boat which will be leaving port 4/4 with arrival in Brunswick, GA port on 4/11. I expect to take possession by/before 4/16

Purely speculating about the delays with Canadian trucks - they may have to change a few things in the production line, for the Canadian vehicles. If true, they might batch the Canadian orders because they want to minimize production changes / production down-time.

Now that you have window sticker, your dealer should be the best source for shipping schedule.
