7 Weeks, that’s insane considering I’m sitting at 16. We’ve been measuring in months, some of these guys like [mention]DelRed22 [/mention] have been waiting before production began back in August!

I do wonder when our train will depart. There seems to be a good number of stickers populating recently.

my truck was unloaded from the rail car at 1:51 this afternoon. Hopefully my dealer will send someone to pick it up tomorrow. It’s about 50 miles away
I've not heard of many instances where dealers actually send people to the rail yards. I thought car transports load them up and deliver.

AFAIK, dealers aren’t allowed at the port. Only transportation companies.
Good luck with that though.

Watching all of the posts from people on their trucks, and looking at the spreadsheet, it is starting to look promising as far as the build side of things is going. The spreadsheet is filling in pretty quick with equipment lists and window stickers!! Now if the shipping side can keep/catch up with it.

Home now, my god, I dont think I ever had a truck so dirty. Melting snow, everytime you passed a car in town, needed to wash your windshield :( Was a shame, just sprayed it off so far! Things I noticed different on this truck then my 19, is they have Paint protection film behind the rear tires on the rockers, the wood trim on the steering wheel is more of a matte finish, my 19 was glossy. darker metal trim in the interior. I like the new interior much better. My ppf is already peeling off though on the passenger side :( Should be easy fix though. IS this PPF available through mopar parts as a precut piece anyone know? HAS ANYONE noticed how bad these trucks smell? My 19 smelled so good, I love a new car smell. But this truck smells way different than my 19, not like your typical new car smell. Its strong and honestly makes me sick. Anyone else notice this??

Do you think it could be the Longhorn trim slowing it down? I have no idea but just guessing they're waiting on enough Longhorns to schedule a build day

Called my dealer today and he said mine was on train as of 3/11. He couldn’t give me any rail info so I called Ramchat. They said it was scheduled to be at dealer tomorrow! I seriously doubt it will make it from Saltillo Mexico to Mira Loma Ca. rail yard and trucked to dealer in a week. I’m at 21 weeks.

That was my thought and the transport list shows a company listed to deliver it. I'm justrelaying what the GM told me yesterday when I called. he said they usually send someone from the dealer to pick it up to get it faster considering its so close. he also said they have driven down to brunswick to get trucks that have been waiting for a while. could all be lies but I'm just a guy buying a truck.

For the group that have received their 3500 Dually's: what tires are coming on them? Is it the Firestones?

Thanks much

[mention]tyler2you [/mention] is right, that is encouraging news! I’m going to give it another week before reaching out for info.
