Wow, so 5-6 months for Canadian Orders. Glad it's on its way for you. That puts my order pretty much around where I thought - late August / Early September delivery (ordered 2/27 from Calgary AB, Canada). I'm starting to think that Canadian trucks must be held in D status until there is a certain volume to be built, and they all move to D1 in batches with other CAN spec trucks, which would make sense from a factory operations POV.

Its a pile of ******** is what it is. 6 months for a factory order when us trucks are built and delivered in 8 weeks.
I was told BSM is currently only optioned for Laramie longhorn and limited trim levels

I completely agree. Its sure is frustrating reading about all the US customers getting their trucks quickly, while we wait and wait.... and wait.
The biggest issue I have is the depreciation factor - we wait 6 months for a 2021 model, and by the time we get it, the 2022 model is released so we lose a whole pile more $$$. Total BS.
3 months today since I placed my order..... still sitting in D1 purgatory. Dealer claims to be just as helpless as me, the only thing he could do was mention it to his "zone rep". Gee, thanks.
So now I've taken to annoying Ram customer service.
Reply from 4/14: "At this present time, your vehicle is sequenced for production with all the parts necessary to begin building your order being scheduled or gathered. I have reached out to our factory resources to ensure your order is prioritized for production as well as to gather an estimated production plan timing. I hope to have additional news and updates to share with you soon."
Reply from 4/21: "Currently all of the materials needed to start the build process have been received. The vehicle should be entering the build process very soon. Due to the time your vehicle has spent in this status we will work with our logistic resources to ensure your vehicle order is expedited and prioritized."
Basically the same canned or BS answers as Ram chat.
I've asked my dealer for my refund back, we'll see how that plays out.

That is unacceptable really. I am in the same situation as you - dealer has my $3k deposit and now us as consumers sit here and wait and have nothing to do but accept this miserable excuse for customer service..... the whole industry needs a shake up - dealers too. Im sick of hearing Covid excuses!! Like yeah ok, but not my problem! Why accept orders if you can't fulfill them in a reasonable time.
... Buying a vehicle should be an enjoyable and exciting process, not a painful frustrating one.
Well it looks like my 3+ month wait is almost over ! My truck ordered on 1-10-21 was built in march then stuck at the body vendor for over 3 weeks . Finally shipped on the rail car to roper utah . The dealer thought from there it would be a few days before a truck brought it the rest of it journey to idaho , Nope wrong again now its been in roper for over two weeks. Got the news today its finally headed on a truck to the dealer, now i just hope it comes with everything i ordered on it and not damaged ! Hopefully by this weekend i will pick it up.
I would take that deal. My prices are $1200-$1600 for coating, about $2k for PPF and tint is extra.

Yea that's where 13 ram got a lot of rock chips
Cost is huge. The other issue with ceramic for me is they say no car washes, as in auto or whatever. Between the brushes, octopus cloths and high pH products used I was told I'm washing my money down the pit. I live where there is a chain wash joint that also gives a substantial fuel discount for members. We get fuel and vehicles washed weekly. I don't have the means to wash the truck at the house all the time, especially in the winter months and like a clean ride.

Mine is similar the coating itself is $1400 then $299 for tints and $250 per piece of ppf applied. I'm also getting a 15% discount because I'm doing all 3 at once.
My truck has been sitting in Roper Utah since 4/13 waiting to make the 5 hour trip north to Idaho to the dealer. Very frustrating. Of course dealer says they have no control on how quickly the truck gets picked up. Said it could be up to a few weeks from when it lands at the rail yard.

As an update.
Just heard from dealer.
Ordered in campbellford Ontario February 26th.
Factory rep is saying mid to late June for arrival.
Still in d status. Pushing hard on the dealer to push the factory rep.

Same here but not in Canada. Ordered 2/2. No build sheet yet.
I’m in the US and I’m on week 14. Been at Body Vendor since 4/6 with no change in status. At this point, dealer things maybe June. Will definitely be 16 weeks minimum

I ordered 2/23, dealer was very upfront and said figure at least 20 weeks. Last week truck still had no status change on the build (have VIN and VON, with 5/2 line date) and his fingers were crossed for an early July delivery to him.
