I ordered on 8-30. 2500 Laramie diesel. Got a ship date of Oct 12. I have my doubts.
I ordered 08/26, dealer says so date showing 10/16, but explained that just means next process in build. Build date scheduled according to web site but not showing a date so I'm guessing that's the 10/16 date for the build to start.

Finally KZX as of yesterday. Hopefully dealer will get it prepped today, windows tinted, and ready to go by tomorrow. Been a long wait. Hope i am not disappointed.

Taking it to the local Line-X to have the Ranch Hand Grille Guard coated and installed. Adding a Bedrug and more LED light pods to the bed as well.

Thanks for all members who have provided a TON of useful information.

Ordered same day,, built 5 days before me. I thought I would be right on your heels. Not even shipped yet. Good luck and enjoy!

As i came to learn on this forum, your original ship date is usually date of production. I went into production 2 days after my "origional ship date" i was KZ on 9/1 and am at a status of KZL now, which from what i can decipher is maybe the last phase before physically being loaded on a car. So ya basically 1 month past what they call "original ship date" . I would imagine if things progress slowly but steadily i should see the truck early november in canada. Not sure how many days that trip is from mexico, but i can imagine atlest 3-4 weeks

Must have been lucky. Took a while to get built, but was shipped less than two weeks after build.

I was just looking through everyone’s builds, I guess I really did order an oddball. Went with a 3500 Tradesman, crew cab, DRW, 2WD, with the 6.4. Went with the towing technology group, the 7” in dash, the 8.4 w/ nav, the Chrome group, and the 14k gvwr. I don’t think I saw another one like her in the builds. Oh and Patriot Blue.

Not surprising. I suppose most who order a DRW want to haul or tow heavy loads, and that may be less effort with a Diesel.

I only know one person that ordered a dually simple because they like duallys. I asked what he hauled and he said "not a damn thing". I thought it was great. We ordered one cause we keep upgrading 5th wheels and I got tired of trading trucks, If this 3500 dually wont pull it or runs out of payload we are in trouble.

Interesting people. The few times I drove a dually I noticed that it drove significantly worse than a SRW, so I can't imagine why someone would drive one needlessly, but whatever floats their boat

I’m still in kZ since 8/12, I ordered bed group and power running boards. Perhaps they don’t have parts. Still shows off site. Ordered 5/24
hopefully will finish and return to factory to be shipped up to Pennsylvania Soon.BA3F7013-382F-4348-B24C-F07DEF0BE88B.jpeg
