Mine will have it when it gets delivered. I might be interested in your question and answer as well
I was wondering the same thing about holidays for the rail yard. As far as how long trucks sit there, it’s pretty variable, but it can be weeks.
My doc fee stayed at the original 225. I worked with Reggie for financing.
i ordered almost the same truck on 10/1, no movement or ship date. almost ready to give up and buy one off the lot
I doubt there is any shut down of the rails for holidays. Things may slow a bit but there's always a low man on the totem pole that has to work. Pretty sure it's a 365 day 24/7 gig.
I was thinking similar but with the 3500 Limiteds w/Cummins. Perhaps a shortage of some specific part for Limited?? Purely a guess. I'm sure zones/full train shipping/ parts all play in to the long wait. For those who ordered before they started building it is even longer. Hopefully they will all be filled. From the looks of the VIN numbers, they got a lot of trucks to build and only so many per day can go out given the best of conditions.
I had several family members who worked the railroads. They loved the holidays. They could make triple time and a half pay under the right conditions.
Im just hoping they will be pushing to get the sales in before the end of the year. Mine was unloaded at the rail yard Saturday and seeing its only 100 miles im hoping it this week. As far as the shipping goes i think the trucks will keep running except for Christmas day and new years but im just assuming the rail yard is a pretty decent job with a strong union so i would think they get plenty of time off. Just hopefully not too many of them take the week
Yes, looks like we have a similar build a day apart at the same dealer. I'm not technically in a big rush since I mostly want it for camping. I already have a truck to use that i'll trade in but like anything shiny and new, once I made the order I'm excited for it to come. I'm still hoping for February but if it lapses until April/May I will start to go stir crazy. The longer we wait the more uncertainty for trade value and interest rates.
has the dealer gave you any updates? they told me check back end of january. its my daily driver so thats why its hard to wait
I understand what you are saying about some small town dealers but man I tried to work with my local dealer where I purchased a new Durango RT before my wifes new GC Summit, our '18 Wrangler, AND my current Ram 2500. I have also purchased Maximum Care Warranties through them for all these vehicles and they do all my service. Needless to say I have kept my business local and spent a more than my fair share with them. Now this September is started to try to work with them on ordering a new Power Wagon and they have been the biggest thieves I have encountered. At one point I called in to get a price on a PW that was in transit, the salesman knew who I was, asked to put me on hold and apparently didn't have enough training on how to use the phone, as I heard a beep but the phone was not muted and I heard him yell to the sales manager "hey it's the power wagon guy, do we want to try for 5k or 10k over MSRP? He's was in here to price an order yesterday so he really wants one". Needless to say it was a very short conversation after he once again hit the wrong button to "unmute" me and told me they needed 10k over MSRP due to "Market Adjustment". (that was 2 months ago and the truck is still sitting there by the way). So then I continued to try to work with their commercial guy to order my PW, MSRP works out to 67,775 and they wouldn't budge. Not for my affiliate rewards, not for the 4 other vehicles I have bought from them, nothing. Then they estimated my trade of my mint 2500 to be 8k under avg kbb! No loyalty by them, non-coming from me. I was able to find another dealership here in Pittsburgh that was willing to do 2k below MSRP on a PW order which I thought was great, but luckily I found this forum and ordered mine for over 7k below MSRP. Even if Ram MSRP goes up before mine ships I'll still save THOUSANDS and will sleep very well at night since I know for a fact my local dealer that I was loyal to for many years, would bend me over in a heartbeat to make a buck when an even smaller dealership just down the road 30 mins would give me 2k off. Times are tough for everyone, need to protect your own.
Do you know any day you went KZM ? Just wondering if my truck is on that same train. Have to be trucked to Boise from there.
I have a VIN. How did you find your window sticker?
They just built some last week, because mine was one of them.
