Not sure if you can only get it in nav radios or not,I don't believe you can update from the 4 to the 5 though,I will try to find out tomorrow at work.
Awesome. Any idea when the build site will go live for the '22s?
Not available on the 3500's that I'm aware and isn't listed on the build site for 3500's.
I have not heard of this yet (ordered from Mark Dodge), but personally doesn’t seem like a big deal. I’ll likely take it in and have it done during one of my regular oil change/service appointments in the future or something. Thanks for posting tho! Just one more unique COVID challenge of many it seems
The big thing, for me, was with the Nav unit you can get the Uconnect Guardian service that isn't available w the standard 8.4: wifi, remote start/stop, vehicle location (insurance discount), vehicle health reports. Most people use the navigation on their phones instead of the oem solution anyway.
My 5th wheel is camera ready with a mounting location and wire out the back .I'm hoping I can hook the camera to the existing wire on the camper and hook the Ram wire to the front of the camper where it is pre wired.
No idea,it's been 2 days already.
Sorry,I meant the brochure,it has all the build codes and groups as well as pictures,curious if they will be changing the grill any,hard to get ahold of the design people here at CTC
Nope,only 8 speeds
I just returned from ordering a 3500 HO and the sales guy informed me of this notice. He said the dealer would need a day to install some new parts to clear up the emission issue at no additional cost.
Are you saying you found a 2022 brochure? I'm sure lots of us would like to see it. There was a link on ramtrucks.com to the 2021 brochure but they appear to have taken that down. You can still find it elsewhere.
It seems to be getting updated,it's on the Ramtrucks site but you can't get on it now
Can you share the URL?
ramtrucks.com,search for get a brochure for the 2500,the 21's are gone and it says coming soon which I assume means the 22's will be up soon
Finally sealed the deal on a 2022 RAM 5500 Limited Cab and Chassis 60". Been a heck of an ordeal to find pricing below the standard 1% below invoice affiliate pricing. I finally came in about 2.8% under invoice by leveraging some commercial small business pricing and small business financing incentives. There were no FCA active rebates on the RAM 4500/5500 platforms (can't use PENFED and the like because they only go up to 3500 platforms). Hopefully, when the vehicle gets delivered there will be some new FCA incentives to further reduce the cost. I contacted about 10 dealers for pricing. Most local in the Virginia/Maryland area and a few farther out like Chapman, Lakeland, and Mark Dodge. Ended up with a local dealer (Safford of Warrenton,VA) offering the best pricing of 2.8% under invoice. Unfortunately, Mark Dodge cant sell 4500/5500 platforms so that easy option wasn't available. Lakeland never got back to me after multiple phone calls and emails. Andrea from Chapman was great to deal with and super helpful with providing me crucial configuration information and my first quote but unfortunately she couldn't do much better than the standard affiliate 1% below invoice pricing. Also, the cost of shipping a vehicle 2000 miles just made it financially unviable. I would like to call Andrea out for providing the best customer experience of all dealers I worked with! Overall, I was surprised that few dealers wouldn't honor even affiliate pricing on a factory order. I even had one dealer saying MSRP on factory order (WTF?).
The truck is about as fully loaded as I could get it. The one option I couldn't select was the Tow Mode Rear View option AVF or XH7 tow mode camera unless I got rid of the the Level 1 Limited package. That was a non-starter. Dealer Connect just wouldn't let us configure XH7 or AVF with the A69 packageMust be something specific to the 4500/5500 platform or an issue with dealer connect at this point. Just have to go without it. Now on to the waiting game, just hoping there are no restrictions and the order gets verified/accepted without issue. Fingers crossed.

That was quick. Now the bad news, it kicked out two options: SJE Adaptive Steering System and LPD CMHSL LAMP W/Camera. I am not so upset about the Adaptive steering but really at a loss why the CHMSL W Camera option got rejected. My question is without the CHMSL camera what would the Digital rear view mirror show? The dealer is reaching out to the factory rep to understand why these two options got rejected from the firm order. I also asked them to confirm why we couldn't spec the XH7 wired TOW Camera in dealer connect. I really could use the XH7 camera option over the CHMSL camera when I have my truck camper on the bed. Hopefully some insight on what's going on early next week.LPD camera is the cargo camera that faces down into the bed. The digital rear view mirror uses a separate camera in the CHMSL.Got word from my dealer that my order, which was submitted yesterday, went to "D" status, which means it is on a firm schedule to build and has a "forever" VIN assigned
