Yeah the ultimate package will be more but looks worth it.
I'll just wait here. Like every new release/refresh you can expect the following from the dealers "Can't keep em on the lot, it's a really desirable truck this year, I can do 10K over MSRP on this 2024 but that's about it, lemme talk to my manager for ya" followed by "Well, I found the truck I wanted on the lot, had most of the things I was wanting, considering the shortages I'm happy with the price I paid" followed soon after by "I can't believe this new release has so many problems, I've been to the dealership 8 times, no parts available, anyone know what the Lemon law is in insert state here".
The problem is a lot of us can’t “build the truck” we want. I don’t think anyone with a 2023 build is complaining that it is taking too long…. Me personally, if I am buying a truck with a sticker of $104k, I want the truck I want and not what RAM is going to decide to send me.For all the new GMC fans disgusted with Ram, what makes you think GMC can/will do better with ordering? Maybe if you place an order with all 3 of them you'll get a truck eventually.
My worthless 2 cents worth is build what you want, place your order and calm down, its going to be a while. If you "need a truck right now for fill in the blank", go buy the leftover dregs on dealer lots, I'm sure you'll get a great deal. Edit to add: The 2024 you want, won't be on the lot until.... wait for it....2024.

Back on topic, how's the 2023 RAM builds and ordering going? I'm in C status.
Sierras are built in the USA so shipping times to the east coast will be significantly lower. Also GMC dealers don't have unlimited allocation like ram dealers so less competition for a slot... And last, they don't have a system where if a piece is missing they hold your order indefinitely.
To add my cents to the issue with ram is our orders aren't just in the wait your turn. It's in the we have a effed up system that caused your truck to go in a bucket of trucks that cannot be manufactured and we don't know if we'll ever fix it or let you know x months later that you need to just cancel your order and try again... All that while every option you ordered before is no longer available. And then they tell you to get to the back of the line no exceptions because your a new order now and if you wanted the options you asked for you should have ordered earlier and not waited to the last minute.
^^^ Right! I have owned RAM 3500s for the past 20 years and I really like them but….. not to the point were I feel like I should be “lucky” to get one with what ever options it ends up with…they are not that good…
My dealer has been straight up and pretty accurate with time lines and expectations.For all the new GMC fans disgusted with Ram, what makes you think GMC can/will do better with ordering? Maybe if you place an order with all 3 of them you'll get a truck eventually.

Been hearing a lot of talk from people not liking the rear vents. I came to the conclusion that if they were body colored it would look much better. Which is why it looks so good on black.
Agree, its frustrating at best. Particularly when you see vehicles ordered after yours in production or built.My order was confirmed on 9/20, and no movement since. Not that I'm counting, but that's over 13 weeks, 25% of 2022, 92 days, 2200 hours, 132,850 minutes, or almost 8 million seconds! I'm starting to think it doesn't matter how many times a day I fanatically check the tracker. It's just not speeding the process up any.
When I ordered my Limited there wasn’t even an option to buy the camera for the digital rear view mirror, I just assumed i could buy it via parts department later, will be pissed if it isn’t wired up and ready for it.
Hard to argue with any of those points. Unfortunately, until it hurts their bottom line they have no real motivation to fix anything. If they could build twice as many trucks as they are now they'd still sell every one of them without a problem. Us special order people are such a small drop in the bucket we barely even register.
Just from STELLANTIS corporate releases they seem to be concentrating on south America market more than US
Demand is definitely down. My dealer recently got a bunch of 21s that were either rentals or lease turn ins. They are all optioned about the same and have similar miles. They have been sitting for weeks along with a couple of 22s. For the past couple of years, any 2500 that hit the lot was gone within the week and was listed at 5k over MSRP. They have since dropped that BS.
If you're referring to "f it all", I'll let you look that one up on urban dictionary. If you're talking about the level f equipment group, there have been a few people here who have ordered level 2 on their Laramie but had their order switched to F. They reported the only difference between the two was the removal of the 12" digital instrument cluster. I have no idea if this is correct for the Canadian trim levels mentioned.
