Received 12/22/21. Dealer received it 12/21/21 and had it ready that day. The sticker price increased $830 from the time I placed the order on on 8/31/21. Unbelievably the dealer did not try to mark up the original price we negotiated when I took delivery. Every option I ordered was included including ones that went away a week after I ordered (Power folding mirrors, night edition, and blindspot detection). After driving it a few days I really wish I would have ordered the digital rear view mirror. I thought that was a gimmick but that would have been extremely useful to see better with such a tall truck. I traded a 2019 5th gen Ram 1500 that rode like a luxury car. This truck is extremely rough on any rough spots in the road and will rattle you. I expected a rougher ride but it was more than I expected. Considering the ride quality, I might have taken into consideration the air suspension. I did not realize that it could make any difference in ride comfort. Much thanks to the person who took the time to track the orders. I reviewed it nearly every day! I know that had to take a lot of time to prepare.
Is this Info for all HD trucks ordered, or just forum member submitted VINs? Very detailed, obviously a lot of effort has gone into tracking.

Granite CrystalWhat color is that, charcoal?
Pretty truck. I’m with you on the ride. Coming from a F150 with a nice kit in it, the F150 did feel like a luxury vehicle comparatively. I think our 20” wheels and tires makes for a harsher ride to boot, but I’m still glad I got the night. It makes the truck like mean. And I’m glad I got the air ride suspension. I mainly got it for trailer leveling when towing, but I’m becoming more convinced that it does in fact smooth out the ride of the HD trucks.View attachment 28811

Make sure to lower the air pressure on the tires a bit.. been to a few dealerships looking around and they all have had the tires aired up to 85 -90.View attachment 28811

Just the Sold Special Orders reported by members on Tracking Sheet - probably a decent sample of mid to high end trucks, but largest portion of trucks is Tradesman - there is a big spreadsheet of all VINsIs this Info for all HD trucks ordered, or just forum member submitted VINs?

2500 Ride should not be that bad - my 3500 with 18 inch wheels is not bad at all - you do notice big bumps in road, but other than that its good. Check tire pressures - lots of reports of very high pressures at delivery. Try 60 F and 65-70R vs 80 R.View attachment 28811

It’s not a bad ride by any means. It’s all relative. It’s undeniably harsher than our previous 1500’s, but like I said by no means bad. WAY better than my buddies GMC. Air ride does help.2500 Ride should not be that bad - my 3500 with 18 inch wheels is not bad at all - you do notice big bumps in road, but other than that its good. Check tire pressures - lots of reports of very high pressures at delivery. Try 60 F and 65-70R vs 80 R.
Other option is to drop down to 18 inch wheels - I did that on my previous 2015 2500 and difference was significant - but I still think very high tire pressures is the most likely fault.

I never found my previous 2015 2500 Limited that bad on 18 inch rubber - it was a bit rougher on 20 inch OE than the truck I test drove so I switched it to 18's and it did make a difference.I laughed during the test drive when the salesman told me about the digital mirror. By the end of the test drive I loved it. I got that option. I passed on the Air leveling thinking the 2500 would be overkill for my 6K travel trailer, why would I need air leveling? I passed on that option but now you have me worried about ride quality.
Oh Well... too late. Mine is expected on or before 1/11/2022.
