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

[Cpsram21]

What truck did you order and where from? I placed my order 1/11/2021 and am having similar experience. 3500 SRW CCSB HO Cummins Laramie fully loaded. Ordered from Dave Smith Idaho

I ordered a 3500ccsrw laramie 6.7 h.o. cummins short bed with everything but sunroof from Dennis Dillion in Caldwell idaho.

Why do you think some people who ordered them 2 months ago are getting them delivered now while some that ordered them in December are not? Does it have to do with the dealership or the type of truck they ordered?

Could be the dealer ordered on a stock order not a sold order or because of the fuel injection pump change on the early ordered 21 cummins models.

Anyone have any updates on deliveries on the eastern route. I'm waiting for the train to hit Lawrenceville, GA, before transport to Charleston, SC. Dealer says expecting train to arrive in Lawrenceville on 28th, but also wouldn't be surprised if it just showed up at their place in Charleston (unannounced) either.

Nothing too specific, but was told as of today it is on the 2nd leg of its journey and 2 more legs to-go before it gets to dealership. So almost sounds like there are 4 legs total from Saltillo to dealer and right now it's on 2 of 4. Would imagine when 3 of 4 is completed that means arrival in Lawrenceville and then 4th and final leg would be truck transport from Lawrenceville to Jasper? Just a guess. Still same 4/29-5/13 estimate.

Well I got some headway on Friday. Got a notice from salesman truck was in G status(trim). Got up this morning and just for the hell of it checked for window sticker. Low and behold it was there. So truck complete. Then couple hours later got a text from dealer and he said truck is enroute, eta for Vancouver BC for May 16th. And dealer should see it within a week of that. That would put it at 16 weeks order to deliverySo getting very excited now.

Anyone order from Dave Smith's in Idaho and not get anything but a receipt for the deposit? (No Purchase order number)

I ordered from them on 16 April. I received my PO from them the following Tuesday. Did it all via email and phone.

What color are you getting?

Haha, I got white because I caught wind that there could also be issues with sourcing some colors. I cannot confirm this at all, but white is easier to keep clean anyway and she is going to get dirty a lot.

I actually ordered a Tundra a month before the Power Wagon. I wanted a PW originally, but did not realize you could add the PW package to a Tradesman, so that put me out of my budget. PW's around here on the lots were almost $70k. For the Tundra, they only had white and red available out of any color due to shortages, but they got hit especially hard with this issue of sourcing computer chips. After about 5 weeks, the Toyota salesman let me know they had no idea as to when the truck would be built or if it would ever be. The factory would be re-tooling for the ground up redesign in June.

New to the forum, and this is my first post! Thank you all for the thread. It’s been helpful to see what others are going through, and I finally thought I’d toss in my experience. Hopefully this isn't too long - I just figured I'd get it all out up front.

TLDR; I ordered with BSM on 3/16, and the truck was built in about 4 weeks (but it’s still on the train, headed to MN).

After verbal confirmation of order in March, and before the order was fully placed, the dealer noticed that the BSM had been removed from Safety Group B and/or Laramie Level 2 (before it was B). I had them add BSM back in. After I ordered I found this thread, and thought I was doomed. However, build progress has been good compared to what I expected.

There may be another possibility for delays in other orders with BSM. Laramie Level 2 Equipment group included “Blind-Spot with Tag Trailer & Cross-Path Detection”. On my build sheet the XAN option just says “Blind Spot and Cross Path Detection”. But I just checked now and the website has "tag trailer" in that option... so who knows. My dealer has not been able to determine if the tag trailer blind spot was removed or not as a feature. We’ll know for sure in a couple weeks hopefully.

$1100 under invoice (FWP), or about $6000 under MSRP.

Timeline so far:
3/16 Ordered
3/23 D1 and VIN (VIN may have been a couple days earlier)
4/11 FCA Email: estimated 5/15 delivery
4/19 Build Sheet/JB (I believe JB happened a few days earlier)
4/20 KZ Status
4/23 In Denver,CO

I plan to do a pseudo-Night Edition, since it isn’t available in Olive Green. This will be a work in progress.

• Swap out night edition grill
• Swap chrome grill surround with body color matched parts
• Vinyl wrap chrome mirrors to black
• De-badge most chrome emblems instead of replacing them
• Swap 2500 emblems and rear RAM emblem to night edition
• Powder coat the wheels (some day)
• Swap to night-edition head and tail lights (some day)

Coming from a 2018 RAM 1500 Big Horn. Primary reason for upgrade is payload capacity. I have a Travel Trailer. Might go to a 1/2 ton towable 5th Wheel down the road - which is better suited for a 3/4 ton.

Well I'll be dipped! I got an email from my salesman. The truck arrived in Chicago today. He stated they were going to call to facilitate an expedited transport. He going to call me with an update tomorrow. Shocked I am....and getting excited.

Update: I got a call Friday morning from the sales manager that my truck arrived late Thursday night. Picked it up Friday afternoon. I couldn’t be happier with the truck. Still playing around figuring out all the tech. Love the Rambox storage. Ride is pretty good if not as good as my 2011 Silverado (traded in). Just shy of 12 weeks from order to delivery.

 

[Power Hounder]

Yes msrp was $82510 Bought it for $69825 after all rebates ,customer bonus cash and true car incentive. That of course is plus tax ,title , and doc fee. So about 15.3% off msrp i guess.

Wow I just ordered a 3500 msrp is 73055 I got it for 66226 and 53 for my 2019 Power Wagon with 6k miles on it. I thought I had done real good until I read this.
Congrats on the truck!

Hi, im from Ontario Canada.

I ordered ram rebel 1500 fully loaded, crew cap 4X4 , diesel on 24/12/2020 and it took the dealership until 14/4/2021 to deliver it to me my truck prices 100kAnd I can’t believe how much expense of this truck is and how much cheap Dodge ram is .
I love this truck it’s always been my dream to get one that’s why when I wanted to get one I factory order to make sure I get everything I want because I’m planning to have this for a long time, however there is no piece on the truck that lineup professionally from the hood to the back lights

is this normal to happen!!!

And congrats on yours also ! I think my timing was just right as i qualified for $1k bonus cash ,$500 truecar and another $1k worth of coupons at the dealership . Plus my dealer offers a $2000 discount if you finance through them (it was at my normal credit union @3.79% so i was good with that) only catch is you have to wait 6 months to pay it off if your in a position to do that it saves a lot of interest ! All that together and my good trade value ($1700 less then i bought it for a year ago) is how i got such a good deal.

Picked the truck up a little over a week ago and received two fobs. I agree.....two are necessary.

Pretty sure you answered your own question… It’s a Ram truck, we didn’t buy Bentleys. Whether it’s $100,000 rebel or a $48,635 tradesmen you can complain to the company to no avail or you can learn to live with it… I would choose the latter... Best of luck and God bless

I got two. Interestingly I also got two regular keys besides the fobs and key in the fob.

You probably got the 2 regular keys because of the ramboxes.
