2021 3500 Limited SB CC SRW HO NE P.Blue 5th TTPMS Air Susp everything else.

Ordered 02/10/21 from Gandrud GB WI --> Matt --> excellent communication

4/26/21 @ Dealership = 10.5 weeks

First post of pics...

Question about rearview mirror, how is the comparison?

Pictures of both included here:

Normal mirror function - looks just like what you would expect.

I wear bi-focal glasses: Lower lens = dashboard is in focus --- Upper lens = distance is in focus __AND__ normal mirror is in focus.

Camera version of rearview mirror: computer screen image --- Upper lens = everything in mirror is out of focus, have to look at mirror thru lower lens - NO
Camera version of rearview mirror = DOESN'T WORK FOR ME! Will never be able to use camera version....

Good ride with 65 psi front and 55 psi back = 300 mile ride back from GB with it... Lots of buttons, menu items, settings in 12" display...

Congratulations! Those clearance lights look good!

Ordered truck 2/15, build sheet on 3/31.

Got my window sticker last Thursday on 4/29! Pleased to see it includes blind spot monitoring. According to Ram Chat, it was built and went to body vendor on 4/5 for spray in bed liner and running boards - so looks like it was stuck at body vendor for about three weeks; not super quick but not as long as others. On Friday Ram chat says it is now awaiting shipping and there isn't yet an updated delivery date. Laughing that I've received no email updates directly from FCA other than the "congratulations" message vomited out on 2/28 that said delivery was estimated to be 4/25 - I think the chip shortage impacted my build, so no complaining too much on the timing.

The strange thing is that the dealer (Phil @ Bud Clary) has been getting emails that the truck was shipped much earlier in April, and that it just hasn't made it's way over the border yet. Not sure why the discrepancy between the two systems. Phil's been good at updating, but lately there hasn't been much to update - says tracking will get better once it crosses the border.

Also, pulled my payload sticker and shows 1,932 - was happy for anything over 1,900 (Mega cab, Cummins, safety, etc.) - that was pretty much right in line with random VIN's I pulled from similar builds.

For others that took delivery to Washington - how long did it take between getting window sticker and getting delivered to dealer?

Thanks

How'd you get the payload?

Picked up my 3500 DRW yesterday. Ordered 2/22. Really smooth and quick at the dealer. They caught an issue with the window switches in PDI. They fixed for now and I really can't tell. They'll be replacing the whole door panel and will even send it to my local dealer for install. Absolutely love maximum steel metallic color. Couldn't be happier. Now I've got some accessories to install but nothing too crazy; running boards, camper tie downs, and tonneau. Happy it actually fits great in the garage. Wife says we have too many trucks (but don't have to get rid of any).

Took delivery finally of my 12/14/20 order today! She was really dirty after sitting in vendor purgatory for 42 days!

Hey Bro.... felt your pain. My order was 12/21..... got the truck on 4/27 and holy crap..... looked like it had seen its share of dust storms. I too got a loaded 2021 3500 in the night trim. It’s all those things needing the chips is what held us up.

When did you get your window sticker? Wondering the time between getting that at taking delivery.

They didn’t send me it. I found the link for the window sticker on here after adding the VIN. From when I saw it, it was probably pushing a month, I think?

 

[Sasquatch]

How'd you get the payload?

Go to the ram website under towing capability then select “look up my vehicle” and enter VIN. I think usually populates a couple days after window sticker.

Window sticker 4/4. I think it's at the rail yard in seattle but no word from Phillip yet.

Looks fantastic, great truck! Ordered max steel myself back in September, and supposedly it's now at the nearby railyards (so close!) Spent too much time second guessing the color choice; after seeing your pictures I know I'll love it.

I thought this thread was interesting when I first found it. Seemed to offer promising news. Some quickly delivered trucks lately.
Here I am sitting at 12 weeks. (Ordered Feb 2nd). Only have the Vin so far. No status updates. No build sheets. Nothing else.

Window sticker available tonight. All expected/ordered features, including BSM, on it. Ordered 4/5.

Edit: Emailed dealer yesterday for a status update, Phil @ Bud Clary, but haven't heard back yet. Did check in with RAMChat today though, and was told "I can see your order is in transit to your dealer! We have an ETA window of 05/14/2021 - 05/28/2021!" Pretty psyched about that.

Just heard from the dealer, truck is on this side of the border now, currently in San Antonio!

After months of lurking here, I figured I better finally stop stalling and place an order before it is too late. The other day I placed an order with Bud Clary in Auburn, WA at the recommendation of many people here. Phillip Olson was totally honest and transparent just like you all said and it made it such an easy experience. I ordered:

2500 Big Horn Crew Cab short box
6.4L Hemi
Anti-spin rear end
4.10
Granite Crystal
Black cloth bucket seats
Night Edition
Big Horn Level B Group
Off road package
Bed utility group
Tech package
Trailer TPMS
Rear wheelhouse liners
Floor mats
Blind spot monitoring

I wanted the wheel to wheel side steps but it wasn't letting him add it to the order for some reason so he said he would order them later and put them on when the truck gets in. I am also glad I asked about the blind spot monitoring at the last minute because he tried it and it let him put it on the order so we'll see what happens. The only thing I was not 100% sure on is the axle ratio but that is talked about a ton on the forum and I went with the 4.10. Might be an overkill because I never plan to get a 14k pound trailer or anything but do plan to get one around 7k-8k pounds or so and it sounds like it can't hurt. The price was also great like you all reported (about 12.5% off MSRP). Well, I guess now I just need to patiently wait and if it gets here in under 3 months, that will be nice. It has been nice to hear or some people getting them faster though lately. Thank you guys again for recommending Bud Clary!

Thank you everyone for helpful discussions, hints, information and making the wait tolerable! Keep up the good work!

Congrats ! I am still waiting on mine. Apparently the truck is built and I am just awaiting transportation. Its been close to 15 weeks for me now.

I just got email from Ram Chat that my delivery date is 5/18 - 6/1. I sent message to Phillip to see what he knows. Your order moved fast - maybe because it's a Power Wagon? Who knows, but interesting to see that you got the Blind Spot monitoring included. Take care.

BSM was actually a make or break item for me. No way I was paying over 60K for a truck, especially in the 75th spec, and it not have it. I wasn't too concerned though. That press piece that went out about certain restrictions specifically said that the Powerwagon and Limited trims weren't impacted at the time, and Phillip was 100% confident it wouldn't be an issue either. He said something along the lines of "if the computer allows me to do it, it will be fine."
