2022 HD Crowdsourced VIN/Order Tracking

Looks like my downfall was ordering a Big Horn.

No you're just late to the party. Big horns had their shot. That's about all they were building (and Tradesman) at the beginning starting Aug 9

Me: sees a new truck has been built on the spreadsheet.

Scrolls down…sees the new one pretty quick…maybe it’s me?

Swipe back to the username column. Nope. @Rosmialowski one row above me.

Congrats

Well looks like we are 50%. Ordered 2 trucks for work. A limited 2500 mega 6.7 in mid may and crickets. Ordered a Laramie 2500 crew 6.7 end of July and it’s on the train for late October delivery. Of course mine is the crickets truck.

Does anyone know how may trucks they are building a day and how many shifts?

I read last week they build like 48 an hour and 3 shifts going 24/7

Also read it takes like 10 hours from start to finish

24/5 (M-F) plus a single 6 hr shift Sat is answer I got.
48/hr x 3 x 8hr shifts would translate to 1152 per weekday + 288 Saturday assuming they are building trucks Saturday, not setting up for next week production.
Not counting holidays, shutdowns, retooling, etc that would only produce 314496 per year but VINs are in the 7xxxxx range
So quoted numbers 48/hr has to be one line and there has to be more than one HD truck line.

Maybe I should go ask ram chat and see why it tells me lol. either way I’ve been on here for a couple weeks since I ordered and they are moving allong way faster then when I first came on

A rough guess based on available window stickers. Looks like there 26,593 Window Stickers available (roughly 30,127 build sheets) as of today. Assuming a Window sticker means a fully completed vehicle. That would make 511 vehicles on average per calendar day during that period. Doesn't take into account day off per week so you could redo the math by saying 511 vehicles x 7 days = 3,577 per week and then divide by 6 working days gives you about 596 vehicles per week currently for HDs. I suspect the factory may not by running 3 shifts per day currently or six days a week given the parts shortages. Who knows but some "fuzzy" math based on the raw VIN data OfficerDirtySanchez provides daily now.

I ordered mine in July.

OK - does anyone know the actual count of HD RAMs for a given year - the VINs typically go into the 700,000 range - starting at 100001 that would be in excess of 600,000 per year.

Is that real or do the last 6 digits include other RAM vehicles - Vans etc and maybe other vehicles produced at Saltillo?

What is a realistic quantity of RAM HD trucks (2500-3500 etc) in a given year?

Next question - when did 2022 Production begin and is it really M-F 3 shifts + Saturday 1 shift 6 hr less the shutdown time (last week - 1 week only?)?

Next question How many 2021's are still in work and how does that affect the line?

But I have to agree if the spreadsheet count of Window Stickers represents a reasonable count of completed vehicles, the net output of 2022's is closer to 600 per day or on a 24 hour basis more like 25 per hour on a single line. That may be partly due to bringing in 2021's to complete them which may play heck with scheduling, but thats a lot of catching up to do to get into 700,000 VIN territory for the model year.

Inquiring minds want to know?
Best, Ed

I have to point out that my list of VINs/equipment listings/window stickers is most certainly incomplete. But I have no way of knowing how incomplete. I'd like to think I've found 75%+ of the trucks which have been built to date.

OK - if 75% then approx 800 per day or roughly 33 per hour for the 2022 model year - lots of 2021's still "being built" and/or "in transit" on dealer web sites.

 

[Grayson]

I don't know how many trucks they produce per day however looking at those numbers it's hard to tell what max production would be. Im sure shift changes, breaks, meal time, equipment repairs would factor in somewhere (I don't know labor laws in Mexico)

Why do I get the feeling that my 10/8/21 order may take a while .....

2022 2500 Cummins Bighorn w/ 4X4 and RamBox on 10/8/21

Yes I got that in 2-3 days after ordering as most I’ve read have

Thanks. I'll at least have THAT to look forward to.

I wish it meant faster moving to have but hey it is something in steps to getting what you ordered. I’ve never ordered a truck before so I’m excited but trying also to forget but sooooo hard to not want it right now..
